Oyster 2 – A New Wave Power Generator Producing More Electricity
Aquamarine Power, a wave energy developer, has recently unveiled a new wave power generator called Oyster 2, that is able to capture about 250% more electricity than its predecessor. The Oyster 2 measures about 85 feet long and 53 feet wide, being capable to produce 800 kilowatts of energy.
Hydroelectric Generator: How to Build a Small One
If you want to produce electricity using a river near your home, the best way you can do it is to build a small-scale hydroelectric generator. Often called as a low-impact hydro, micro-hydro or run-of-stream hydro generator, this system is not very hard to build.
Hydrokinetic Power Does Not Affect Fish Populations
We all need electricity for powering different stuff in our home, to make our lives more pleasant. But if the electricity is produced using green sources it's even better. One of the most used types of energy up to now was hydropower, but this one involves the construction of dams, weirs or other structures that could affect fish.
HydroWing – Tethered Tidal and Marine Current Energy Generator
The SeaKinetics company recently has developed an innovative, tethered tidal and marine current energy generator known as the HydroWing, that is capable to provide zero carbon emission renewable energy by converting tidal power into clean electricity.
Aegir: Scotland's Largest Wave Power Project
Just recently, Scotland-based energy developer Pelamis has signed a joint-venture with the European energy giant Vattenfall, for the huge energy project off Scotland's Shetland Islands. The costs of the project rise to almost $100 million.
Oyster – World's Largest Hydro-Electric Wave Energy Device Goes Online
Queen's University Belfast, Aquamarine Power Ltd. and the Scottish government have recently launched the largest working hydro-electric wave energy device, taking an important step for global wave energy industry.
Researchers Use Wind Turbine Technique to Build Efficient Wave Powered Generators
Mankind has been adopting the working principles of natural phenomenons and animals since ages. Now, when it's time to learn from fish to develop wave-powered generators, it's also time to learn what others have learned from birds - and use them in the seas, to gather energy which they would later turn into electricity.
DeltaStream: UK-Based Underwater Generator to Power 1000 Homes
The unit has been invented by Pembrokeshire engineer Richard Ayre, featuring three generators mounted on a triangular frame and due to its floating crane it can easily be lowered and recovered from the seabed.
Swing Door WaveRoller Generates Up to 300KW of Energy in the Surge Zone
One of the simplest ideas of harvesting the ocean power was developed by Rauno Koivusaari, a fin diver who got inspired by exploring the depths of the seas and lots of shipwrecks.
Oceanlinx Prepares to Deploy 2.5MW Tidal Power System Near Sydney
Engineers are performing the last tests and measurements before the grid-connection off the coast of Port Kembla, near Sydney. The system will be generating about 2.5MW by harvesting air pressure that will turn a wind turbine.
