Curious about wave behavior and coastal protection? Discover how to construct a wave tank that allows you to explore sea wall effectiveness, simulate storms, and test ship designs. This can make for a ...
According to mission co-lead Scott Glenn, the experiment marks a “historic moment for ocean science. We’re deploying a robot ...
As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...
How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...
This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...
As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...
