Besides bringing an alternative energy source, the transition also creates a high pressure seawater can be desalinated and used to provide clean water for people in coastal areas. Many organizations organizations around the world are looking for ways to exploit the energy of ocean waves as renewable energy. However, no organization to apply the method of extraction from the seabed as the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley). Recently, they have developed a system called "carpet the seabed," inspired by the sea bottom mud in order to exploit the energy potential of the waves. The new technology harnesses wave energy from the bottom sea seabed mud known for shock absorption of the waves in the ocean. When a strong storm attacked the Gulf of Mexico, the fishermen here know that mud-covered ocean floor will act as a sub-surface, softer help reduce the impact of storm waves and bird feet. Get ideas from this phenomenon, researchers from UC Berkeley have devised a system in which not only the energy of the wave is absorbed, but is converted into useful energy. the system includes a large rubber mat placed above the hydraulic actuators, cylinders and pumps for receiving the motion of the waves coming. When moving up and down, the rug creates water pressure in the pressure cylinder and is fed back into the banks to be converted into useful energy. The experiments were conducted at UC Berkeley shows rug with absorption of wave energy over 90%. According to the researchers, a rug with an area of 1 m2 can generate enough electricity for 2 houses in the US standards. Meanwhile, a carpet of 100 m2 will be able to provide the energy equivalent of a football field is covered with solar panels with an area of 6400 m2. The new technology harnesses wave energy from the seabed Reza Alam - from science associate professor of mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley, said: "We had planned to test the system at sea within the next 2 years and hope that 10 years after the system will be ready to commercialization. " the team also emphasized the strength and flexibility of the system. Was developed based on the idea of the seabed, is made of an elastic material does not corrode and aims to install in the coastal shallow waters at a depth of 18 m, the system can withstand large amounts of dynamic the seas. Group said the system can be transported easily and form fitting design module allows adjusting the ratio of the width depending on the environment and energy needs. The new technology harnesses wave energy from below seabed Besides bringing an alternative energy source, the transition also creates a high pressure seawater can be desalinated and used to provide clean water for people in coastal areas. the when tested successfully in the laboratory at Berkeley, the team has put the project on site to raise funds experiment from the community to put the project delivery process to the next paragraph. If you reach the goal, the team will develop a larger prototype to test the performance and testing materials suitable for practical applications beyond the ocean.
