A recent paper has made some waves theorizing a way to generate wind energy with no moving parts. I spoke with the author of ...

And because wave energy projects are relatively unobtrusive, they’re far less controversial than offshore wind, which has generated fierce opposition on both U.S. coasts. In September ...

The more wind, the bigger the waves, and the bigger the waves, the more energy they have. This is kinetic energy - movement energy that can be used to generate electrical energy. There are ...

The wind spins the blades, which turn a shaft connected to a generator that produces electricity. The biggest wind turbines generate enough electricity in a year (about 12 megawatt-hours ...

Waves, tide, and wind dominate coastal processes and landforms. Rivers deliver sediment to the coast, where it can be reworked to form deltas, beaches, dunes, and barrier islands. The coastal zone ...
