All over the world, giant wave breaks appear because of underwater geology that supercharges their wave energy.

Call it "fuel without fossils": Jonathan Trent is working on a plan to grow new biofuel by farming micro-algae in floating offshore pods that eat wastewater from cities. Hear his team's bold vision for Project OMEGA (Offshore Membrane...

Wave power hasn’t yet made a splash because it’s hard to use waves to spin turbines, and because the sea is a harsh place to build...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the energy of a wave if directly related to the amplitude of a wave. The wave energy of a sound wave is the volume of the wave.

Surf into 'Ocean Energy' to discover how the mighty waves and tides can power our world! It's a splashy, exciting look at the power hiding in our oceans, made simple for kids.

This video is answering the question of what is ocean energy.

An Australian company has been working on a system that uses underwater buoys to convert sea waves into zero-emission energy and desalinated water.

There's a new renewable energy player in town and it's about to make waves in the industry. Despite its massive potential as a source for renewable energy, the ocean is unlikely to contribute meaningfully to electricity supplies without...

It explains tidal energy, wave energy and ocean thermal energy.

Waves transfer energy from one place to another. You should already know how to describe them in terms of frequency, wavelength and amplitude In this video we’re going to look at the two ways they can be classified. Waves are produced as...

Harnessing energy from the waves of the world's oceans seems like the ultimate in renewable fuel. Yet research lags 15-20 years behind studies of solar and wind power. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Electrical...
