Oyster - the world's largest working hydro-electric wave energy device
The world’s largest working hydro-electric wave energy device has been officially launched in Scotland. Known as Oyster, the device, stationed at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) Billia Croo site near Stromness, was installed this year and is, at present, the world’s only hydro-electric wave energy device which is producing power.
Oyster produces power by pumping high pressure water to its onshore hydro-electric turbine which feeds into the national grid to power homes in nearby Orkney and beyond.
Watch a short video of Oyster in situ here or see an outline of how it works below:
Ubisoft counting on future of 3D gaming
At some points in the game, the water looks real; clear at some angles to reveal the rocks below, at other angles, thick and murky. When your character hops into a helicopter, the exhaust fumes billow through the screen and seemingly into your face. The new game is called James Cameron's AVATAR and is based on Mr. Cameron's movie of the same name, scheduled to come out next month.
