Giant wave energy converter prepares for launch in Australia

A unique project - a prototype multi-particle wave energy converter - is being launched in the Australian port city of Albany on King George Bay. It was developed by the Marine Energy Research Center of the University of Western Australia. The M4 prototype has impressive dimensions - 24 meters long and 10 meters wide, which corresponds to the average wave length in King George Bay. It consists of an articulated steel frame supported by 4 buoys. Due to its design, the device generates power with every oscillation of the water. The maximum peak power of the M4 prototype is 10 kW. The M4 resembles in appearance a dancing spider on the surface of the water. A smaller version of the prototype is already being tested in a swimming pool, demonstrating its movement. The device will be operated for 6 months starting at the end of September to collect data on its efficiency in generating energy. A larger model is planned for future deployment offshore.

Norway has become the world's first country to have more electric cars than gasoline cars

Norway has become the first country in the world in which the number of electric cars on the road has exceeded the number of gasoline cars. This follows from the data of the Norwegian Road Federation (NRF). There are now 2.8 million private cars registered in Norway. Of these, 754,303 are all-electric, and 753,905 are gasoline-powered cars. In the first place are still diesel cars, which are mor
