I'm fascinated with the concept of #Hydrogeneration -- using waves to generate electricity in a moving boat! Kinda like a flywheel generator on a bicycle!

#Sailors embrace green tech with electric motors and #solar power

Advances in eco-friendly options are persuading some yacht owners to ditch diesel

"When the wind dies, sailing boats typically rely on diesel engines, which are noisy and polluting. Now, just as electric motors are taking over the auto industry, electric motors are winning over sailors, too.

"Two years ago, the Metstrade exhibition design winner was #Oceanvolt, a Helsinki-based electric motor manufacturer. The company is one of the few in the world that sells a completely electric propulsion system — which combines solar panels on deck with batteries to generate electricity.

"The Oceanvolt propulsion system is also innovative in its use of hydrogeneration. When a sailboat is enjoying good wind and is moving without a motor, the Oceanvolt propellers can generate electricity as the water flows past them. Oceanvolt says its system can generate up to five kilowatts of power to charge equipment and batteries, depending on how fast the boat is going."

Fascinating talk in Stromness last night - much of it on #windpower and Big Finance; how do local communities gain any value? Came away wanting to understand apparent under-funding of locally developed #wavepower and (non-barrage) #tidalpower. Any thoughts? #Orkney #Shetland @fionaorkneynews or @theferret

Last Saturday I found myself at Westkapelle, Zeeland, during a fierce southwesterly storm. The sea was alive with raw energy, its rhythm both terrifying and mesmerizing. My first image captures a red buoy fighting its endless battle against towering waves — a symbol of resilience in an outraged sea. The backlit waves revealed deep emerald tones through their translucent crests, crowned with foamy white spray, the buoy holding steady above.

A gull flew straight toward me in another frame — simple, yet powerful. Its wings spread against the turbulent backdrop, it seemed to embody the calm determination needed to survive such storms.

The third shot froze the sheer force of water as it crashed violently against the wooden breakers, sunlight catching the spray in a fleeting golden shimmer.

And finally, my favorite: sunset breaking through storm clouds, with beams of light stretching across the horizon. Even in the midst of chaos, nature reveals its beauty — a reminder that turbulence and serenity are often only a moment apart.

Captured with the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm, these images remind me why storms have always fascinated both scientists and artists: they are nature’s raw poetry.

The first #onshore #wavepower pilot station in the #US opens today in #LA, #EcoWavePower has big aspirations.
Station is on site of #AltaSea, an “ocean technology hub” in a warehouse at #PortOfLA.
Idea behind wave power is to use motion of waves in #ocean to generate #electricity. Waves are relatively constant, and hold more power than wind, given that water is so much denser than air. They also add another dimension to renewable power, which can help reduce intermittency

has a massive new testing facility. But who is going to use it?

> Oregon has a coastline dotted with ports, infrastructure and some of the best waves on the planet for generating .

From CNET's recent YouTube upload, a revolutionary piece of tech is making waves! 🌊 The Waveline Magnet, floating on the water's surface, isn't just for giggles. It's potentially a game-changer in desalination, hydrogen fuel production, and electricity generation. 🌍💡 . What implications does this have for the future of energy production?

Wave power could be a clean and renewable energy source but it faces many challenges. One of them is the unpredictability of the ocean, which makes it hard to estimate how much electricity can be generated. This uncertainty could affect the feasibility and profitability of wave power projects and their integration into the grid.
