Wave power—energy harvested from ocean currents—is likely to be the next big thing in renewable energy generation, so researchers are spending quite a bit of time on new technologies to take advantage ...

Research from The University of Osaka highlights a new model of a gyroscopic wave energy converter. The device was shown to be capable of absorbing up to half of incoming wave energy across a wide ...

In the renewable energies era, grid frequency will be an increasingly important indicator of stability of power supply. An interdisciplinary research consortium has analyzed frequency fluctuations in ...

Now, Takahito Iida at the University of Osaka has proposed a new energy-harvesting technology that uses gyroscopic flywheel system that can be tuned to absorb energy efficiently over a broad range of ...
