Here’s an ocean wave power device that captures energy from the relative motion of their two arms as the wave passes them. According to the company that developed the product, Crestwing, they plan to sell it to energy production companies …
Hydrokinetics Ideas Everywhere, But Do They Hold Water? Read More »
With each passing year, people realize our dependence on fossil fuels is hurting the world we live in. Climate change as well as climbing prices have driven a global search for alternative energies. Scientists everywhere have taken up the call, …
Here’s a good article on wave energy, i.e., the conversion of the mechanical energy from ocean waves into electricity. For what it’s worth, I’m hoping that this arena will one day succeed, and I agree that if it does, this …
The Law of the Jungle Applies to Wave Energy and All Other Forms of Renewable Energy Read More »
I try to keep track of the major ways of extracting energy from ocean waves, one of the front runners of which is the Pelamis, a long, multi-segmented tube that changes shape, creating hydraulic pressure, as the waves pass beneath …
I just reviewed another in a long series of attempts at ocean wave energy. This one is similar to a Pelamis, but, because it requires less material it will be less expensive, thus offering a lower levelized cost of energy …
