While solar panels rely on sunshine and wind turbines depend on changing weather conditions, ...

The vertical rise and fall of the tides — driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun acting on the oceans’ waters — also causes motion of water called currents within bays, harbors and ...

This blog presents a sea generator installed to generate electricity by the use of water currents or tidal currents. It also briefly introduces a next version of tidal-flow generators and a short ...

A recent study used location data from GPS-tagged seabirds called razorbills to track currents in the Irish Sea. When a team of biologists compared the movements of resting birds on the surface of the ...

Submerged in about 44 yards of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates ...

DESPITE its promise, tidal power remains one of the least developed renewable energy technologies in the world. Commercial ...

As Scotland transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy, it is investing in an unexpected source: tidal currents. Similar to wind turbines, which sit above ground, tidal turbines are one hundred ...

KIRKWALL, Scotland — Huddled inside what looks like a tanker ship anchored about two miles from shore, engineers from the Spanish company Magallanes Renovables monitor two giant rotors below the hull ...

Despite the demand and capacity for renewable energy increasing, nuclear fusion is not yet available for mass production.

U-M reseachers have used a U.S. Navy ocean forecasting model to help bring ocean patterns into clearer focus, potentially benefitting weather forecast models.
