The device, called the Superhydrophobic Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Droplet-Based Electricity Generator, or S-FRP-DEG, harvests ...

The search is for new ways to harness renewable resources to supply our rising energy needs. The key question, however, is why ocean and sea waves haven't been used in carbon emission reduction ...

July 6, 2007 Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a kinetic energy generator which derives electrical energy from the vibrations and movements that occur within its environment.

BOULDER, Colo. — Imagine a future where simply driving along a highway or even walking down a sidewalk could produce electricity to power street lights or traffic signals. That future is now for ...

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 ...

The nPower PEG is exactly the kind of thing that would have airport security asking you some rather awkward questions, and perhaps also earn you some childish snickers. The rather utilitarian phallus ...

“This type of generator could potentially power integrated buoys with sensor arrays to track open ocean water, wind, and climate data entirely using renewable ocean energy.” The study is available at ...
