U.S. NAVY Developing Wave Energy Conversion Device

 

The U.S. NAVY is researching a device that will convert wave motion to electricity to power emergency equipment in life rafts. The “Lifesaver", a ring-shaped buoy, is being tested to obtain operational data on this particular ocean renewable energy conversion technology. The buoy converts energy generated by passing waves into electrical energy. The Lifesaver project was … [Read more...]

Fast Radio Burst "Afterglow" Is Actually Flickering Black Hole

 

Harvard University reported that last February a team of astronomers reported detecting an “afterglow" from a mysterious event called a fast radio burst "which would pinpoint the precise position of the burst's origin." "New research by Harvard astronomers Peter Williams and Edo Berger shows that the radio emission believed to be an afterglow actually originated from a distant … [Read more...]
