Would electric cars really be any better for the environment than our current gas guzzlers? So much of our electricity comes from coal, after all, which isn't exactly the cleanest source of energy. Might we all be better off simply upgrading to more fuel-efficient vehicles—that is, ditching our Hummers in favor of Toyota Corollas?

HTS Linear Generators Slated for PowerBuoy Wave Energy Converters - 0 views
-
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc (OPT) and Converteam Ltd. recently signed a Cooperation Agreement for the development of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) Linear Generators for use in OPT's PowerBuoy wave energy converters. "HTS is a truly disruptive technology the advantages of which will radically change wave energy capture. Converteam is looking forward to working with OPT on this exciting and challenging new project." -- Derek Grieve, Technology Director, Converteam Ltd. The vision of the two companies is the direct conversion of the linear up and down motion of waves into electricity using OPT's PowerBuoy and Converteam's HTS linear generator. The proposed power take-off for the OPT PowerBuoy will employ Converteam's innovative and proprietary linear generator system with high temperature superconductors to provide the magnetic field.
