CNNMoney - Turning ocean waves into electricity
There’s another potential power source that’s so plentiful that it covers 71% of the Earth, but it’s been a struggle to tap. Startup Columbia Power is the latest company to dream of harnessing the ocean for electricity. It’s building a wave generator called StingRAY that will float on the ocean’s surface, turning each passing wave to usable power. Keep reading ...

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 ...
