As science looks forward to explore and identify new sources of alternate energy, there is an increased focus on harnessing the inherent power of nature to create more energy sources. Tidal energy is one form of energy which uses the energy of tides to power turbines to generate electricity. A tide is caused by a...
Every so often, there’s some new and exciting green technology that catches my eye, and the new Bluenergy Tidal Bridge system is an example of that. Bluenergy have created a system that generates energy from tidal water from a bridge rather than a reservoir. By using a bridge rather than a reservoir, environmental impact is...
We’ve learnt a lot from nature, such as flight and medicine. Scientists in Australia have designed an innovative power generation system inspired by the shape of the tailfins of Tuna and Sharks. The currents on the ocean floor impose a force on the fin of the BioStream device. The to-and-fro motion of the fin is...
