Wave power of the future?
New technology harnessing wave energy offers solutions for providing electricity and drinking water to Australia’s major cities. The technology…works through fields of submerged buoys tethered to seabed pumps.The buoys move in harmony with the motion of the passing waves, pumping pressurised seawater to shore to run turbines and pass through a desalination plant.
Now here’s a cool idea; A way of generating electricity AND desalinating sea water at the same time. The big drawback of desalination is the high energy cost to do it. The story suggests that doing it this way will cost 25% less to build the plant, and should provide enough electricty to power the plant as well as provide power to the grid.
Mr Beattie, what are we doing about this?
