Researchers at University of Washington are developing a new underwater robot designed to deploy monitoring instruments to gather information on marine life interactions with underwater equipment used for wave and tidal energy generation. The robot is named ‘Millennium Falcon’ and its aim is to iden
MBARI engineers have recovered the experimental wave energy buoy for maintenance, after it had been deployed in the sea for over 4 months. During this deployment, the buoy supplied power for instruments used to collect data for engineering purposes. It was deployed 9 km southwest of Moss Landing Har
Bas Buchner (MARIN president) and Ron van den Oetelaar (General Manager Bosch Rexroth Benelux) have signed the contract for a new wave generator for MARIN’s new Concept Basin. According to the contract, Offshore Basin and Seakeeping and Manoeuvring Basin will get a new wave generation control system
In early January 2015, a team of MBARI engineers, led by Andy Hamilton, recovered an experimental buoy that creates electrical energy from ocean waves. This power buoy had been deployed six miles southwest of Moss Landing Harbor for 131 days which was also the longest deployment out at sea. The powe
MARIN has ordered a new Rexroth Benelux wave generator for its Concept Basin new Concept Basin. The deal was signed by MARIN president, Bas Buchner, and by General Manager Bosch Rexroth Benelux, Ron van den Oetelaar. Part of this contract is a complete new wave generation control system for the wave
