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 ...

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 ...

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.

Renewables let you have a more diverse set of energy inputs so you aren’t putting all your generation eggs in one basket. One type of renewable that doesn’t see a lot of love, despite 80% of the world ...

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.

Sawtooth- or exponential-ramp relaxation oscillators are common and generally easy to build. However sometimes a cleaner waveform is desired, and generators of even-symmetric waveforms are a bit more ...
