REWEC3 wave energy converter is oscillating water columns (OWC) type of device that uses the oscillatory motion of mass of water induced by a wave in a chamber to compress air to drive the air turbine. Wavenergy.it, an Italian ocean energy developer, has developed REWEC3, a reinforced concrete caiss
Portuguese demonstration scheme for ocean energy technologies will be granted aid for 25 years in the form of a feed-in-tariff to compensate for the higher costs of the new technologies. The European Commission decided Portuguese scheme aimed at promoting renewable energy technologies is in line wit
Fugro has set, according to the company, a new water depth record of 2,923 metres (9,589 feet) while completing a combined sampling and piezocone penetration testing (PCPT) borehole to 62 metres (203 feet) below the seafloor. Achieved using its ‘Seafloor Drill I,’ the single deployment in the Walker
FMGC, a French-based company, has manufactured tidal turbine ballast made of grey cast iron for Sabella’s D10 tidal turbine. FMGC gravity-based tripod structure consists of three ballast blocks with a tubular shape. Two ballasts tubes weigh 55 tonnes each, and one weighs 77 tonnes. The base measures
40South Energy’s H24 machine can work both as wave and tidal unit. H24 machine consists of a guiding part located on the sea floor, or on a support structure, and of a moving part above it, which moves according to waves or tides. The machine uses WT25 power train. The mooring is provided by gravity
Scuba diving exposes you to many effects, including immersion, cold, hyperbaric gases, elevated breathing pressure, exercise and stress, as well as a postdive risk of gas bubbles circulating in your blood. Your heart’s capacity to support an elevated blood output decreases with age and with disease.
