We propose a design for a float capable of harvesting wave energy while fully submerged.The proposed design could essie cause and reflect theoretically operate indefinitely without ever breaching the surface.We developed and validated design guidelines for the proposed float through a combination of tank testing and simulation.These design insights could be employed to build an operational float.Our final proposed design utilizes a 1.
