You really can't help smiling after seeing (for about hundredth time) the video from our great success with the scale model.

Welcome Hanna

And more!! Hanna joines the team in early July. She is our second full-timer and will focus on design. And we have a lot to design :). Now the team include tech, business & design. True Aalto composition.

Welcome Jaakko

New resources again! Jaakko joined us and will do some community buildong and co-ordinatipn stuff. He will head to New Zealand soon to explore local... well surfindustry and culture

Welcome Martti !

We got new resources! Martti will do his engineering master thesis in Artwave engine solution. That 2nd thesis in this field. We are very much alive with our project. So if you want to join us and contribute just contact atso. andersen (at) aalto dot fi !

To the next stage!

Great news from Artwave (even though we are not surfing yet)! Our project seems to have a well-established name, Artwave. In addition to that, we have been able to move into commercialization stage. It'll take about a year from now and after that, there should be a brand new artificial wave-maker available.... So, keep in tune!

Surfer Mag story about wavepools

Some interesting reasoning and not-reasoning around wavepools. Story is about the questions were are working on in our project.

1 000 simulations

We are beyond 1 000 computer-based simulations, lots of code development and even more analysis in spreadsheet and by looking the waves on the screen. New computer has been bought to get performance. Pauli has scanned super-computers from cloud and super-computers from Finnish IT center for science for more computing power. Next there will be even more simulation until we break into building the full-scale prototype.

Endless simulation

We entered the amazing world of computer-based wave simulation. It makes me humble to be part of this project. My laptop is crunching numbers night and day resulting in animations of pouring fluid surfaces. Now it is up us to get our artificial wave into digital format ...and optimized !
