NASA Develops Technology To Turn Ocean Tides Into Energy
NASA scientists say they've found a way to turn the power of the ocean's tides into clean, renewable electric energy.NASA is working to use changes in ocean temperature to create a high-pressure fluid that can be used to generate power. The new technology is an offshoot of work NASA has been doing to power underwater robotic vehicles, according to the space agency.
This type of hydraulic energy transfer system is potentially applicable to many types of hydrokinetic energy from rivers, ocean waves, tides and currents.Scientists can use computer models of winds, river flows, ocean currents and tides to calculate an area's potential for energy production.
