Read this interesting article about wave power and CorPower’s continued progress! Mer kraft från lugnare hav Kraften i havens rörelser skulle i teorin kunna omvandlas till fyra gånger mer elektricitet än hela världen förbrukar. Hittills har dock de flesta projekt havererat. Men nu börjar det se mer lovande ut – och bland de företag som […]
Swedish firm CorPower Ocean, one of the new generation of firms, also uses buoy technology, to absorb energy from the surge and heave of waves with its HiWave resonant WEC. But, it has sought to get out more with less using phase control, to enable it to oscillate in resonance with incoming waves. It does […]
WITH ALL THAT to-and-fro and ebb-and-flow, the motions of the ocean offer an endless supply of renewable energy. Or they would, if engineers could figure out how to capture that power. Most prototypes for wave-energy converters have been massive and costly, or else they’re torn apart during violent storms at sea. But a Swedish company […]
