Notes on Wave Energy Technology Presentation

Introduction

  • Presentation held at Ultras Secondary School, Norway.
  • Testing a prototype of wave energy technology named "Purankos the Frozen."
  • Focus on sustainability and addressing climate change.

Key Features of the Technology

  • Purpose: Harvest energy from ocean waves.
  • Applications:
    • Generation of electricity.
    • Desalination of seawater for fresh water production.
  • Part of a broader solution for sustainable development.

How the Technology Works

  • Wave Generator: Demonstrated at the pool.
  • Mechanism:
    • Absorbing float moves up and down with ocean waves.
    • Below the water surface, a pulley system operates.
    • As the float moves, it causes a cable to reel out, powering machinery.
    • This action turns a flywheel, converting wave energy into usable power.

Conclusion

  • Speaker believes this technology can contribute significantly to solving climate change challenges.
  • Emphasis on innovation for a sustainable future.

Additional Notes

  • Presentation included music and applause, suggesting a lively atmosphere.
  • Encouragement to observe the prototype in action.
