Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed an unusual way to harvest wave power, with a gently rolling cylinder designed around the triboelectric effect that causes static ...

Solar electricity generation is proliferating globally and becoming a key pillar of the decarbonization era. Lunar energy is taking a lot longer; tidal and wave energy is tantalizingly easy to see; ...

Wave power—energy harvested from ocean currents—is likely to be the next big thing in renewable energy generation, so researchers are spending quite a bit of time on new technologies to take advantage ...

This form of renewable energy has a sea of potential but realising it won’t be without its challenges. Wave power is a form ...

Brazil will build Latin America's first experimental wave-power generator that will provide enough electricity for 200 homes, Brazilian press said Feb. 14. The $1.6 million, 500-kilowatt device will ...

Germany's Sinn Power has developed what it calls the world's “first floating ocean hybrid platform” by combining wave, wind and solar power. “The floating platform can supply renewable energy to ...

This installment of Retrotechtacular looks at a video lecture that is much more substantive than the usual fare. [Dr. J.N. Shive] was a researcher at Bell Labs at a time when just about every ...

3D printers are good for a lot of things, but making parts for power transmission doesn’t seem to be one of them. Oh sure, some light-duty gears and timing belt sprockets will work just fine when ...
