ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Jan. 14 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
The research could make offshore renewable energy more reliable and a better neighbor to marine life, also enabling laboratory testing of larger prototypes
Equipping submersed and floating wave energy converters with shock absorbers could help the devices' mooring lines last longer while generating electricity for sensors that monitor the line's condition.credit: Ta-Chih Hu . . .
