A Greek company has designed a truss platform with water tight-buoyant tube truss members, as floating substructure for offshore Wind-Wave-Tidal-Solar PV Energy Sources Parks or other installations anywhere at sea, using a patented technology for construction of trusses-space frames with articulated joints. The company is looking for potential partners either for licensing or joint further development and marketing of this technology.
The innovative trait of the floating truss platform is the inherent elasticity of the truss, created from the articulated joints of the water-tight buoyant members, which disperses-diffuses any loads with only axial force loading of truss members. Advantages can be summarized as follows: Source; Europa
