Title: electricity from nothing Post by: johnorcos on September 25, 2012, 23:00:35 pm The Orkney Islands are successfully test wave power plants of various designs.
Manufacturers are convinced that in the next decade will be in demand in the technology world. Orkney island, washed by the cold waters of the Atlantic and the North Sea, the world's largest testing ground for various technologies for industrial energy waves. Here, at the north-eastern end of Scotland, for almost a decade, gaining experience, which, according to experts, in the near future will shape the new direction of renewable energy, wind power, and perfectly complement the photovoltaic (solar panel). Oyster From the cliffs near Crewe Biglia Eday Island is visible in the water a yellow object swinging rhythmically. And there, on the beach, is unsightly green building. This is - a surface part of an embodiment of wave power. The underwater part is at a depth of 15 meters and is a platform measuring 10 by 18 meters. To it is attached to a powerful lever kind of movable hollow sections. It can be called a float, the more that the upper part of the structure, painted in yellow color, really rocks in the water under the action of waves. This float and drives the two-way piston pump, which pumps piped to shore seawater, where it drives the generator. Scottish company Aquamarine Power is headquartered in Edinburgh, who developed the system, called her Oyster - "Oyster". δειτε τα βιντεο http://nnm.ru/blogs/mars_15/shotlandcy-uchatsya-poluchat-elektroenergiyu-darom/ μεταφραση εδω: http://translate.google.com/ |
