Electricity from ocean waves!! IIT Madras partners with NIOT to harness electricity from ocean waves hitting India's 7,500-km coastline. Wave-energy harvesting turbines capture the energy of the periodic up-down motion of ocean waves through a device called Oscillating Water Column. One such turbine called impulse turbine is connected to a generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The turbine uses the energy of a high-velocity air jet created by the waves in the device. The aerodynamic performance of the turbine plays a major role in the wave-to-wire conversion efficiency. The work by the team offers a good launchpad for future research and development in the area of wave power.Great. Join with me to congratulate Abdus Samad and team and wish them all success
