Seatrec Demonstrates Energy-Harvesting Solution for Ocean Instruments
Seatrec demonstrated that profiling instruments used for ocean exploration can be improved by pairing them with the SL1 thermal engine. A successful field trial was completed with Sea-Bird Scientific Navis autonomous profiling float mated to the Seatrec SL1. The SL1 harvests energy from temperature differentials in the ocean and converts it to stored electrical energy. Read more at Ocean News.
