Ocean Turbines

One the world’s greatest untapped energy resources is the motion of the ocean. Of course, while floating wind turbines and wave-powered generators are being explored and researched, underwater ocean currents remains an area that is largely untapped.

Now researchers at the Center of Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology have developed a technology that would allow them to tap the Gulf Stream currents. This they believe would be able to cover all of Florida’s energy needs. These scientists are truly working hard to transform the vision from science fiction to reality.

Frederick Driscoll, director of the Florida Center for Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology at Florida Atlantic University was noted as saying that his young kids, aged 2 and 4 could very well see a world that is powered by renewable energy, with a significant portion of it being powered from the ocean.

In about three years, underwater turbines could begin harnessing the power of the current known as the Gulf Stream to produce commercial electricity. And within three to five years, deep-ocean cold water could be used for commercial air conditioning. Thereafter in 7 to 10 years, scientists could begin commercially harnessing the energy produced by the differences in ocean temperatures at various depths.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
