inspired by 19th-century british botanist anna atkins, SDMM highlights the environmental impact of plastic pollution in the oceans. The post cyanotype series by SDMM documents ocean crises through shenzhen’s coastline debris appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
The WindFloat Atlantic project – the world's first semi-submersible floating offshore wind farm, located off the coast of Portugal with only three turbines – has exceeded expectations over the last four years of operation, generating a total of 320 GWh of electricity. That's enough to power about 25,000 homes each year.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Floating offshore wind, Wind tu

The good news is that there's a vast ocean of water under the surface of Mars – enough to cover the entire planet to a depth of a mile (1.6 km). The bad news is that this repository is so deep and unreachable that it might as well be in another galaxy.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: InSight, Mars, UC Berkeley, Water
In the Belgian North Sea, maintenance vessels are now able to tether to an automatic cable at a wind farm to get their batteries topped up. The innovative system is the first of its kind and a major step in keeping electric vessels as green as possible.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Shipping, Offshore Wind, Wind Power, Wind turbine, Green+Energy, Electric Boats, Recharging
While the quest for pulling more megawatts from wind turbines has generally led to bigger and bigger rotors on turbines of conventional design – like this monster 22-MW number in China – Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has taken a different path. It claims its mega-array of smaller rotors arranged in a grid would achieve up to 126 MW, or five times the energy of a 15-MW single-rotor turbine,
Tiny aerial drones have many potential uses, but their ability to navigate is severely limited by their minuscule amount of onboard processing power. Scientists have now set about addressing that limitation, taking a cue from foraging insects such as ants.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Delft University of Technology, Navigation, Micro drones, Insect, ANT+, Biomimicry
