What do nine-time Grammy-winning billionaire Rihanna, stunning beaches, and a potential 50-megawatt wave-energy project have in common? Barbados! The island nation is deploying a unique type of wave ...
Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated ...
Now, Takahito Iida at the University of Osaka has proposed a new energy-harvesting technology that uses gyroscopic flywheel system that can be tuned to absorb energy efficiently over a broad range of ...
As wind blows across the surface of the sea, it transfers loads of energy — in the form of a wave — to the water below. In fact, research suggests the ocean’s waves could offer limitless renewable ...
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 ...

The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...
The UniWave sea platform is an artificial blowhole that harvests energy from ocean waves. Independent analysts now predict it'll create some of the cheapest renewable energy on the market – and some ...
Are rolling ocean waves and tidal forces New Jersey's next sources of renewable energy? That is the question being explored by officials at the state Board of Public Utilities, which met earlier this ...
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Flatirons Campus in Arvada might be perched atop mountain foothills hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, but it’s become a new hub for researchers ...
Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...
In November 2023, violent Atlantic storm “Domingos” struck the northern coast of Portugal, generating record-high waves and leaving a path of destruction across much of Western Europe. People on land ...
