Sea power...
Wave simulator at the University of Maine at Orono.
The oceans generate
enough energy for us to give up coal and gas completely, but no one has been
able to harness it effectively, bloomberg.com reports.
At the University of Maine, scientists are testing The Triton, a wave harvester that uses a
novel design which may be the key to unlocking the power of the ocean, bloomberg added.
The Triton's trials take place in the school's $13.8-million simulator capable of creating waves that top 100 feet and winds that exceed 200 mph, according to the university.
