அலைகளில் இருந்து மின்சாரம்??!!

செய்தியின் முழு சுட்டி இங்கே

இது ஆராய்ச்சி எல்லாம் இல்லை. 2007ல் இருந்து மின்சாரம் அலைகளில் இருந்து தயாரிக்கப் பட உள்ளது.

ஜார்ஜ் டெயிலர் 72 வயதாகும் சிறு தொழில் நிறுவனர் ஒரெகொன் கடற்கரையில்(Oregon coast) இதற்கான சாதனங்களை நிறுவி உள்ளார். இந்த சாதனம் அலைகள் அடிக்கும் கடல்கரையின் நடுவே நிறுவப்பட்டுள்ளது. கடலுக்கு அடியில் கேபிள்கள் மூலமாக உற்பத்தியாகும் மின்சாரம் கரைக்கு எடுத்து செல்லப்படும்.

மேலும் விஞ்ஞானிகள் இன்று உபயோகமில்லாமல் சென்று கொண்டிருக்கும் அலைகளின் சக்தியில் 0.2 சதவீதம் மட்டுமே உபயோகித்து இந்த உலகின் அனைத்து மின்சார தேவையையும் பூர்த்தி செய்ய முடியும் என்று கணித்துள்ளது.

மேலும் இது பரவலாக உபயோகிக்க ஆரம்பித்தால் இன்று இருக்கும் மின்சார கட்டணங்களை விட குறைவாக இதன் மூலம் மின்சாரம் உற்பத்தி செய்ய முடியும் என்று கணித்திருக்கிறார்கள்.

இதிலெல்லாம் நம்பிக்கை இல்லை என்கிறீர்களா?
