The Spine-Shaped Floating Device Converting Waves Into Electricity | Mashable

Developed by Sea Wave Energy Limited (SWEL), the ‘Waveline Magnet’ is a low cost, climate-friendly alternative to non-renewable power sources. The spine-shaped floating device converts wave power into electricity. While the device is still in its early stages, a prototype was taken to Larnaca Bay in Cyprus for open-sea trials in November 2021.

"Still in its early stages" Why is that? I remember reading about this concept and even seeing the first prototypes in the late 80's.

I hope part of the implementation process will include making efforts to have as little impact on the surrounding ecosystem as possible.
