WAVES POWER _ Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
The Pelamis Wave Energy Converter is a semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints. The wave-induced motion of these joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure fluid through hydraulic motors via smoothing accumulators. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity. Power from all the joints is fed down a single umbilical cable to a junction on the sea bed. Several devices can be connected together and linked to shore through a single seabed cable.

RSII. Self Sufficient Buildings
Students have been working intensively on their Self-Sufficient agenda where they are now going further into their structures. Concept, site, function, efficiency, sustainability, environment, culture, tourism, citizen,…. all these are discussed with faculty Willy Muller and assistant Maite Bravo. They will be developing further more, with the upcoming self-sufficient workshop to be held during the next week.
