Problems solved by technology

However, due to the complex and changeable offshore environment, and the difficulty of comprehensive observation of various operating conditions, it brings a lot of inconvenience to the efficiency optimization of tractors. The traditional wave simulation test mechanism has large size, poor adjustability, large transmission energy loss and resistance simulation. If the module is not perfect, it is difficult to accurately reflect the real motion state of the tractor. Therefore, a wave power conversion efficiency test device for the wave glider is needed to further optimize the wave power conversion efficiency of the wave glider.
