This just in: Aquamarine Power just unveiled its freshest wave generator design this morning! Dubbed the Oyster 2 (you may remember our coverage of the original Oyster), the new renewable energy ...

A 200-kilowatt demonstration version of Wave Swell Energy's fascinating "blowhole" power generator has been deployed at Grassy Harbour on King Island, off the Australian island state of Tasmania, and ...

Under the ocean’s surface, tentacle-like stems of seaweed sway with the current, bending back and forth as they get tossed about by underwater waves. These movements are a physical representation of ...

As a wave first hits the Waveline Magnet, the system gets a read on the size and speed of the wave, allowing it to fine-tune the power extraction at each generator as the wave moves down the line.

Wave power—energy harvested from ocean currents—is likely to be the next big thing in renewable energy generation, so researchers are spending quite a bit of time on new technologies to take advantage ...

For several years, CalWave has been developing its xWave clean power technology. Now, the company announces the completion of a long-term open-ocean test off the coast of San Diego, during which the ...

Ocean waves have long been seen as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwide—nearly two to three times the ...

Germany's Sinn Power has developed what it calls the world's “first floating ocean hybrid platform” by combining wave, wind and solar power. “The floating platform can supply renewable energy to ...

A wave energy plant located in the sea outside Lysekil, Sweden has been quite successful. For nearly three years, a wave power plant has stood on the bottom of the ocean a couple of kilometers off the ...

The Oyster converter starts making electricity using a simple design of a flap moved by waves that pumps water underground to an onshore hydro-electric turbine. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer ...

3D printers are good for a lot of things, but making parts for power transmission doesn’t seem to be one of them. Oh sure, some light-duty gears and timing belt sprockets will work just fine when ...
