Determinants of public opinion on renewable energy : the case of wave energy development in Oregon

Creator:

Stefanovich Petrova, Maria A.

Abstract:

Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and wave, have a number of advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels.

A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

Creator:

Agamloh, Emmanuel B.

Abstract:

Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...
