Iprojekthi yeWaveStar iya kunika amandla amazaOko kukuthi, amandla aveliswa kukuhamba kwamaza (ukuba ufuna ukufumana ulwazi ngakumbi malunga nolu hlobo lwamandla onokuwabona "Umahluko phakathi kolwandle kunye namandla amaza") ungaphazanyiswa.
Ngaba uyazi ngalo naliphi na icala apho umntu ongaphandle kwayo nayiphi na inkampani enoluvo oluqaqambileyo kwaye engashiywanga nto ngenxa yokunqongophala kwezixhobo okanye kwimeko efanelekileyo inkampani ithenga umbono?
Yile nto yenzekileyo, abazalwana ababini abathanda ukuhamba ngomkhumbi Babezimisele ukusebenzisa “imikhosi enamandla phantsi kolwandle” yaye yabangela iWaveStar.
Eli phulo lokuba nguvulindlela Iyakwazi ukuvelisa amandla amaza ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa. Ngaphaya koko, inxalenye yenzuzo ekwenza oko ngayo ukuxhathisa akuzange kubonwe ngaphambili Phambi kwe- Ubunzima bemozulu, enye yeengxaki eziphambili ezijongene nazo ekufumaneni nasekusebenziseni la mandla ahlaziyekayo.
Isebenza njani iWaveStar?
Abadali beWaveStar, abazalwana uNiels noKeld Hensen, basebenze iminyaka engaphezu kwe-10 kwinkqubo enokusebenzisa amandla aveliswa ngamaza rhoqo. Imizuzwana eli-5 ukuya kweli-10. Isiphumo yaba luyilo olutsha kunye izikrozo ezifakwe emanzini ezinyukayo ziwa kunye nokuhamba kwamaza. Le ntshukumo eqhubekayo iqinisekisa ukuba ukuvuna amandla akuyeki, ekubeni ulungelelwaniso olulandelelanayo luqinisekisa ukuba kukho rhoqo ii-buoys ezisebenzayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba i-oscillations yolwandle.
Amandla aqokelelwa ngala mabhoyi akhutshelwa kwijenereyitha ngokusebenzisa a inkqubo ye-hydraulic, eguqula le ntshukumo yamaza ibe ngamandla ombane. Le ndlela ayibonakalisanga nje ukuba isebenza kakuhle, kodwa iphinde ixhathise ngokugqithisileyo kwiimeko ezinzima zolwandle.
Ukongeza kokufuna ukufezekisa imveliso yamandla amaza ezinzileyo, I-WaveStar iphumeze a inkqubo yokuchasa isaqhwithi, oqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwezakhiwo xa ujongene neemeko zemozulu ezimbi, ezifana nezaqhwithi ezinamandla okanye amaza amakhulu. Ezi ntlobo zezinto ezintsha zingundoqo kuzinzo kunye nokuqina kweprojekthi, kuba enye yezithintelo zembali yezixhobo zamaza ibe kukuchasana kwabo kwimozulu yolwandle engalindelekanga.
Ikamva lamandla amaza: ngaphaya kwamaza
I-WaveStar ayizange yaneliseke yimpumelelo yeteknoloji yayo yangoku. Enyanisweni, iprojekthi ijolise ekubeni yinxalenye ebalulekileyo iipaki zamandla olwandle ezidibanisa imithombo eyahlukeneyo yamandla ahlaziyekayo, njengomoya kunye nelanga. Umphathi wayo wezobugcisa, uLaurent Marquis, ubonise ukuba ubona ikamva apho amaza kunye nomoya zisebenzisana ngesandla, ebonisa ukuba intsebenziswano phakathi kwamandla ahlukeneyo ahlaziyekayo Kungundoqo ekwandiseni ukusetyenziswa kwemithombo yendalo ekhoyo.
Le ngcinga yeepaki ezixubeneyo, apho iiteknoloji zamaza nomoya zihlalisana, ziyakuvumela kwakhona ukuveliswa kwamandla amakhulu kwiindawo ezingaselunxwemeni (ezaselwandle), nto leyo eyandisa kakhulu amandla okuveliswa ngokutsha, ngakumbi kumazwe anonxweme olubanzi njengeSpain. Ngokucacileyo, iiprojekthi ezifanayo eSpain ziye zabonisa ukuba Amandla anamandla amaza makhulu kakhulu: Ilizwe linokuvelisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-29,500 TWh ngonyaka, ngokwaneleyo ukugubungela imfuno yombane yehlabathi jikelele.
I-WaveStar okwangoku yakha kwakhona inkqubo yayo ngenjongo ukwandisa inani lezinto ezidadayo okanye iibhoyi emva kweminyaka yokulinganisa iziphumo zesindululo sakhe. Olu hlengahlengiso luya kwandisa ukubanjwa kwamandla amaza kwaye luya kuvumela ukufakelwa kwezixhobo ezisebenza ngobude obuphezulu bamaza, ukwandisa uluhlu lwejografi apho lunokuphunyezwa khona.
Inkxaso ephambili: I-Horizon 2020 kunye nendima yophando
Ukuqhubela phambili ukwakhiwa kweprototype enkulu, i-WaveStar icele inkxaso ye European Union ngeprogram Horizon 2020, inyathelo elijolise ekukhuthazeni uphando kunye nophuhliso lobuchwepheshe obutsha. Inkxaso yezemali kunye nenkxaso ye-EU, kunye nentsebenziswano yeYunivesithi yaseCantabria, ifuna ukwenza Isikhululo sombane esikhulu sokuqala saseYurophu.
U-Laurent Marquis uye wagxininisa ukubaluleka kwentsebenziswano phakathi kwamaziko kunye namazwe ukuphumeza inkqubela phambili ekuveliseni amandla avuselelekayo. Ngokutsho kwakhe, isitshixo kwikamva lamandla azinzileyo "funda omnye komnye" y “Sebenzani kunye ukwakha iingcamango ezithembisayo”.
Ukuba le projekthi iyaqhubeka kwaye yakhiwe ngomlinganiselo omkhulu, idibanisa amanye amandla avuselelekayo afana nomoya kunye nelanga, sinokujongana nekamva apho amanye amandla angaboneleli nje kuphela kuluntu oluselunxwemeni, kodwa nakwimimandla ekude kakhulu, eguqula imbonakalo yomhlaba .
Ukusuka apha, sibulela bonke abantu abaneengcamango ezifana ne-WaveStar, ekubeni ukunyamezela kwabo kunye nobuchule babo busisondeza ngokusondeleyo kwikamva kunye nokuxhomekeka okuncinci kumafutha e-fossil.
