The best coastal areas in the Iberian Peninsula in terms of harnessing wave energy are the Costa da Morte and Estaca de Bares, in La Coruņa, Galicia, according to two pioneering studies by researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), published this month in the journals Energy and Renewable Energy. http://www.physorg.com/news178802861.html Technology Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:28:00 EST news178802861 (PhysOrg.com) -- The ocean is a potentially vast source of electric power, yet as engineers test new technologies for capturing it, the devices are plagued by battering storms, limited efficiency, and the need to be tethered to the seafloor. http://www.physorg.com/news177846004.html Technology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:50:04 EST news177846004 (PhysOrg.com) -- Houses on stilts, small scale energy generation and recycling our dishwater are just some of the measures that are being proposed to prepare our cities for the effects of global warming. http://www.physorg.com/news174576543.html Space & Earth Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:29:46 EST news174576543 Britain announced plans Wednesday to slash emissions with a huge increase in the use of renewable energy to generate one third of the country's electricity needs by 2020. http://www.physorg.com/news166899089.html Space & Earth Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:00:03 EST news166899089 Up to 30,000 residents and tourists could be under threat from a newly discovered tsunami risk in the Caribbean, according to experts in disaster risk management. http://www.physorg.com/news159690411.html Space & Earth Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:27:16 EST news159690411 (PhysOrg.com) -- As dough flies through the air, transforming from a ball into a disk in the chef`s experienced hands, pizza tossing can definitely be thought of as an art. But, as a recent study shows, pizza tossing is also a science. http://www.physorg.com/news158491566.html Physics Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:26:42 EST news158491566 Opened in September as a world "first" in producing electricity from waves, a pioneering installation here is dead in the water having functioned for only a few weeks in a stormy process of research and development. http://www.physorg.com/news157098213.html Technology Tue, 24 Mar 2009 07:24:18 EST news157098213 (PhysOrg.com) -- MIT researchers are working with Portuguese colleagues to design a pilot-scale device that will capture significantly more of the energy in ocean waves than existing systems, and use it to power an electricity-generating turbine. http://www.physorg.com/news148641540.html Technology Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:19:00 EST news148641540 A technology that is adapted to the special conditions for wave energy places the wave energy technology from Uppsala on the absolute cutting edge in the world. In his dissertation, Rafael Waters presents the findings from the experimental facility located in the sea outside Lysekil, Sweden, in which he has played a leading role in designing and constructing. He is publicly defending his dissertation at Uppsala University on December 12. http://www.physorg.com/news148054304.html Technology Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:11:44 EST news148054304 A device consisting of a giant rubber tube may hold the key to producing affordable electricity from the energy in sea waves. http://www.physorg.com/news134301650.html Technology Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:00:50 EST news134301650
