dynamic engine for sea wave energy catching 108893

… developed a thermal hydraulic engine that is now ready for commercialization. The company has just successfully completed long term field testing of the technology, and has obtained patents on the design in nearly 40 industrialized countries world wide.

The Natural Energy Engine™, requires no combustion, operates virtually silently, and generates no emissions. Developed over the past 10 years, it operates by utilizing low level heat energy, 180 F (82 C) is suitable for many applications, from solar, geothermal, or any other heat source, including waste heat from existing processes.

… with tulips and wooden shoes in an image of Holland’s colorful past. In fact, it’s advertising for a Christmas tree store, but its mere presence is an irony as the Cape is convulsed in an epic battle over some very real wind turbines. Cape Wind plans to build the first offshore wind park in the U.S. in Nantucket Sound, just five miles off the coast of some of the most exclusive real estate in America. If the project is built, it will at least temporarily set a record as the largest wind farm in the world, its 130 turbines producing 420 megawatts of electricity. If it is defeated by a well-funded opposition group with some highly placed political allies, it will be a resounding defeat …

Commenting, Shmuel Ovadia, Managing Director of SDE Energy, said: “Our system is built on one side of wave gatherers, which can also serve as breakers. It is composed of a system of channels of hydraulic oil, whereby the rise of the pistons creates pressure on the hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil is accumulated in a pressurized container and is then directed toward a hydraulic motor. This energy turns an electrical generator, which produces electricity.”

Wikepedia offers this insight as to how the system works: A buoyant metal plate is attached at one side to a concrete seawall. …

… of a U.S. company, Floating Power Inc., to commercialize the Danish company’s Poseidon Wave/Wind Energy Platform that has successfully demonstrated the capacity to generate both hydraulic power from waves interacting with floats and electricity from wind using turbines mounted on the platform.

The Oregon company holds exclusive rights to Poseidon installations throughout the Americas & U.S. government facilities worldwide.

The Danish company has spent over 12 years and approximately US$12 million to develop Poseidon, and data from a two-year, offshore, grid-connected test confirms the platform delivers increased stability and energy …

In New York, the report finds a total 37.4 GW of wind potential in shallow water, 15 GW of which are commercially viable when environmental and socioeconomic factors are taken into account. The report includes a chart for each state’s offshore wind resource, breaking down the data by water depth and distance offshore.

Featured in the report, the Long Island-NYC Offshore Wind Project is expected to solicit bids from private developers early next year. Transmission and environmental studies …

A “FULLY developed” all-Ireland ocean energy sector could be worth about €9 billion and fuel the home and global market by 2030, a new report says.

Up to 52,000 jobs could be created in wave energy and 17,000 posts in tidal energy if the Government’s 2020 renewable targets were met, according to the report by a British consultancy firm.

The SQW Energy economic study for ocean energy development in Ireland was commissioned by the Government’s Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and Invest Northern Ireland.

It says that if there was an “appropriate …

At present share of renewable energy in global energy production amounts to 20% and according to experts increase of this share is still possible. Consequent development of renewable energies use brings many advantages, including creation of economical growth. According to data of BWE (Bundesverband WindEnergie) in 2006 annual turnover of the sector in the world increased by 26%, and only in Germany it amounted to 20 milliard Euro. Moreover, renewable energy sources are a safe alternative for conventional fuels, like gas, oil or coal and at the same time they contribute to protection of natural resources.

Science projects for kids: weather and seasons are an ideal teaching tool because they keep kids engaged and clearly explain natural phenomenon, such as weather and seasons. When kids actively participate in learning, they retain knowledge longer and become inspired to study more.

Whether you’re planning a classroom lesson or just looking for rainy day fun, these science projects for kids will deepen their learning about weather and seasons.

When the second richest man on earth, Bill Gates, invests its money in a project it means that is worth it. And if this project is intended to save emissions produced by cars, this means that all of us are happy with it.

Jointly with Vinod Khosla, from Khosla Ventures of Menlo Park (California), Bill Gates has invested $23.5 …
