Oscillating water column wave energy converter is a power generation device in which ocean waves excite the oscillation of surface an air chamber, generates fluctuations pressure and rotate turbine generator(s). The fluid chamber phenomenon with natural period, similar to container such as sloshing. Previous research has shown that for oscillating single submerged water, characteristics can be ...

This paper presents the concept and initial tank testing of a novel low profile floating breakwater incorporating energy generation. The breakwater is intended to be anchored parallel to the coast with a beach at the front of the device to rotate the incoming waves towards collector tubes. The water hammer principle is used to harvest the high water particle velocities, charging a rear mounted ...

Cellular energy production depends on electron transfer (ET) between proteins. In this theoretical study, we investigate the impact of structural and conformational variations on the electronic coupling between the redox proteins methylamine dehydrogenase and amicyanin from Paracoccus denitrificans. We used molecular dynamics simulations to generate configurations over a duration of 40 ns (samp...
