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 device demonstrated over 99% system uptime.Continue Rea… Continue reading CalWave concludes 10-month test of its submerged wave energy generator
Sea Wave Energy Ltd (SWEL) has been working for more than a decade on a floating wave energy device it calls the Waveline Magnet. With several prototypes tested on- and off-shore, the company claims it delivers “ultra low cost,” with high output.Contin… Continue reading Wave-riding generators promise the cheapest clean energy ever
Wave Swell Energy’s remarkable UniWave 200 is a sea platform that uses an artificial blowhole formation to create air pressure changes that drive a turbine and feed energy back to shore. After a year of testing, the company reports excellent results.Co… Continue reading Blowhole wave energy generator exceeds expectations in 12-month test
Sweden-based Eco Wave Power has announced that the first of 10 floats has been successfully installed on the sea wall at Jaffa Port in Israel, marking an important milestone for the company’s second grid-connected wave energy harvesting project.Continu… Continue reading First float of grid-connected wave energy system installed in Jaffa Port

If you’ve ever taken a peek below the surface of the ocean, you’ll have seen seaweed waving back and forth in the current. Scientists from China’s Dalian Maritime University have now utilized that same motion in an underwater energy-harvesting device.C… Continue reading Energy-harvesting nanogenerator inspired by swaying seaweed
Scientists at Australia’s RMIT investigating the massive untapped potential of wave energy have come up with a novel design for a convertor they say operates with far greater efficiency than comparable solutions, and which they hope could open the door… Continue reading Counter-spinning turbine design draws double the energy from ocean waves
There are energy sources all over the place, if you know where to look. Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have now designed new modular nanogenerators that can harvest energy from a variety of different types of motion, such as … Continue reading Water-filled nanogenerators harvest energy from just about any movement
A 200-kilowatt demonstration version of Wave Swell Energy’s fascinating “blowhole” power generator has been deployed at Grassy Harbour on King Island, off the Australian island state of Tasmania and will be connected to the grid in the coming months.Co… Continue reading Experimental “blowhole” wave energy generator goes online down under
German company Sinn Power has proposed a hybrid offshore power generation platform that combines wind turbines, solar panels and wave energy harvesters to generate off-grid electricity for people living close to the coast.Continue ReadingCategory: Ener… Continue reading Floating ocean platform harvests wind, solar and wave energy
