The adventure
A vision, a method, a team to build
HFI was born from the vision of BELHAIMER Bouchaib. It is run like an engineering office: every idea is drawn, calculated and simulated before it is built, and every result is traced.
We are now opening the project to the people who will take it from calculation to the sea. Join us if you work in:
- HYDHydrodynamics and basin testingConcept review, test protocol, access to a wave basin.
- FABBuilding the modelMachining, metalwork, composites, assembly.
- SYSInstrumentation and measurementLoad and motion sensors, data acquisition.
- NRGEnergy conversionFrom motion to electricity, at small scale first.
- MATMarine materialsSeawater resistance, service life, cost.
- FINFunding and developmentBuilding applications and partnerships.

Founder and designer of HFI
“The sea never stops moving. I want to build a machine that moves with it, and put it at the service of those who live by the water.”
The model is being prepared. Those who come aboard today will shape the machine, its tests and its first sites. Laboratories, workshops, funders, engineers: let us build it together.
