Harnessing ocean energy
AlphaMERS Ltd, a Bengaluru based SME has designed, prototyped and tested a device to covert ocean waves into electricity. The device has a seabed unit and surface floats. The 5 kW model tested satisfactorily in artificial wave tank at IIT Madras. The system has a lot of flexibility in customising to wave heights, tidal ranges and depths. AlphaMERS believed this can be useful for ports and Islands ...

OHMSETT Creates Better Waves with Upgrades to the Wave Generator and Beach System
The Minerals Management Service (MMS) recently funded upgrades to the Ohmsett wave generator to improve the quality of waves so they more closely simulate ocean waves. While the old wave forms were adequate for testing oil spill response equipment, the waves were not close enough to ocean waves to satisfactorily evaluate alternative energy devices which are now being tested at Ohmsett. The ...
