The oceans are an enormous reservoir of energy. One form in which that energy appears is waves. The energy in waves is derived from the wind energy that generates them. Since wind currents are produced by solar energy, wave energy is a renewable...

Wave power refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do useful work - including electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is a form of renewable energy. Though often...

NEWS AND NOTES Internal waves cause a mighty churning of ocean waters-something invisible to and unfelt by anyone at the surface. Now in a novel use of data from moored buoys, a University of Washington researcher has calculated just how much power these...

Self-Contained System Ideal for Remote Locations; At $0.95 per 1,000 U.S. Gallons ($7 if Capital Costs Included)-the Economics are There A wave-powered pumping system, developed in Ireland, has been deployed in the Shannon Estuary. The system is designed to deliver high-pressure, prefiltered salt...
