11 Citation By using the natural motion of slow-moving water, a new hydrokinetic generator could open vast new areas of the ocean for energy production. Vortex Hydro Energy, founded by Michael Bernitsas, a University of Michigan engineer, has developed a prototype energy-harvester that can capture the mechanical energy water currents create. The National Science Foundation, the U.S. Navy, and the Department of Energy have together contributed about $2 million to Vortex to further develop the concept., technorati.com

1 Citation Biofuels: Biofuel Biofuel is defined as solid, liquid or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. Theoretically, biofuels can be produced from any (biological) carbon source; although, the most common sources are photosynthetic plants. Various plants and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacturing. Globally, biofuels are most commonly used to power vehicles, heating home, technorati.com

1 Citation Artist?s conception of a wave farm of 750-kW Pelamis wave converters. Chemical and Engineering news has an excellent overview of the various technologies being developed to create electricity from moving water. The primary methods are wave and tidal. Wave Waves are powered by winds and uneven solar heating, he says, and wave energy works best in ocean depths of at least 50 meters, before waves lose energy to the friction of a shallow sea bottom. There are many designs being tested now., technorati.com

Contra Rotating Tidal Turbine for Aquaculture 1 Citation The Energy Systems Research Team at the University of Strathclyde is developing a contra-rotating marine current turbine with integral power take off. Using patented new rotor technology this design enables more energy to be delivered from the flowing stream while reducing mechanical complexity. Compared to existing turbines of similar dimensions contra-rotating rotors are more efficient, yield a higher power output, and reduce the environmental impact associated with the downstream disturban, technorati.com

Don?t Let Falling Oil Prices Slow the Push for Alternative Energy 1 Citation It?s easy to run around convincing people of the need for alternative energy sources when they?re being forced to pay over $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline. But now that oil prices have nosedived to about $74.00 per barrel, just slightly more than half their record all time high of $145 per barrel reached earlier this year, the job of pushing for alternative energy becomes all the more challenging. The facts remain the same. Regardless of what you?re paying at the gas pump, the emissions spewi, technorati.com
