For several years, CalWave has been developing its xWave clean power technology. Now, the company announces the completion of a long-term open-ocean test off the coast of San Diego, during which the ...

Waves off the coast of the U.S. could generate 2.64 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity per year — that's about 64% of last year's total utility-scale electricity generation in the U.S. We won't ...

As a wave first hits the Waveline Magnet, the system gets a read on the size and speed of the wave, allowing it to fine-tune the power extraction at each generator as the wave moves down the line.

CalWave has been working on its xWave clean power technology for many years now, and has announced the successful conclusion of an extended open-ocean test off the coast of San Diego, in which the ...

Scientists have made efforts to advance a way to convert low-frequency mechanical energy from ocean waves into electricity. Their approach focuses on self-powered ocean grids, distributed marine IoT, ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

IN A WORLD where new technology is dominated by the movement of electrons and the manipulation of biomolecules, it is good to know that old-fashioned mechanics can sometimes get a look-in, too.
