La amandla amaza, ekwaziyo ukuguqula intshukumo yamaza ibe ngumbane ohlaziyekayo, ifumene uphuhliso olungalinganiyo xa kuthelekiswa neminye imithombo yaselwandle. Nangona amandla ayo makhulu, ibe yenye yezithembiso ezinkulu zokuzinza kwamandla, nangona ayizange ihlale ikwazi ukuphila ngokulindelekileyo okwenziwa ngamaphulo ayo okuqala.
Phakathi kwezona nzame zibalulekileyo zokusebenzisa lo mthombo ngumzekelo we ipelamis, eyaziwa ngokuba “yinyoka yolwandle,” isixhobo esakha sabangela isiphithiphithi eYurophu saza saba ngumlinganiselo wobuchule obasetyenziswa elwandle. Imbali yayo, ezele yinkqubela phambili kodwa kunye nemiqobo, isebenza namhlanje njengesifundo kunye nesiqalo kwizizukulwana ezitsha zeeprojekthi ezifuna ukukhuthaza amandla amaza.
Inyoka yolwandle iPelamis: isithembiso esingazange sifezeke
Ngexesha leshumi leminyaka yokuqala yenkulungwane yama-21, ukuvela kwenkqubo yePelamis kwabangela umdla womdla kwindlela yayo yokuyila. ukusebenzisa amandla amazaEsi sixhobo, esiphantse sibe li-180 leemitha ubude, salinganisa intshukumo yenyoka njengoko yayidada elwandle, iguqula loo nto iguquguqukayo ibe ngumbane ngenxa yeenkqubo ezintsonkothileyo zoomatshini kunye ne-hydraulic.
Kwi-2004, i-Pelamis yadityaniswa kwigridi yombane okokuqala ngqa kwi Iziko laMandla oLwandle lwaseYurophuUkuveliswa kufumene ukuqatshelwa okubalulekileyo, okufana ne Imbasa yeSaltire kuba umdali wayo, uRichard Yemm, kwaye imele into entsha yokwenene ngenxa yokukwazi ukuvelisa umbane kude nonxweme.
Nangona kunjalo, nangona intshiseko yokuqala, inyaniso yezobugcisa kunye nezoqoqosho yayinzima. Ukugcinwa kwimeko ekhohlakeleyo yolwandle, iindleko eziphezulu y ukungabikho kotyalo-mali olwaneleyo iphele inobunzima kakhulu kwikamva leprojekthi.
Kwi-2014, i-Pelamis yaphoqeleka ukuba ivale iingcango zayo, kwaye inyoka yayo eyaziwayo yaselwandle yafakwa phantsi kokunyamekela kweBhunga lase-Orkney Islands. Umceli mngeni wokuthatha isigqibo sokuyigcina njengophawu lwenguqulelo entsha okanye ukuyichitha ahlala esebenza, ngelixa amava ebonisa imfuneko yokongeza ukuqhubela phambili kwezobuchwepheshe ukuze la mandla abe nokhuphiswano ngokwenene.
Iiprojekthi ezintsha kunye nemingeni yangoku kumandla amaza
Ixesha kunye nolwazi oluqokelelweyo luvumele amandla amaza ukuba angene kwixesha elitsha. Ngoku, iiprojekthi ezilingwayo ezintsha zisendleleni yokuqinisekisa ukusebenza kobu buchwepheshe kumanxweme ohlukeneyo ehlabathi.
Olunye uphuhliso lwamva nje luse-United States, apho iinkampani ezikhethekileyo ziye zadibana ukuze zifake i- iprototype yepilot kwiPort of Los AngelesIntsebenziswano phakathi kwabachaphazelekayo abanamava kunye nenkxaso evela kwiinkqubo zamandla ahlaziyekayo elwandle yomeleza ukubaluleka kwesicwangciso-qhinga.
Inkqubo isekelwe kwi izinto ezidadayo zimiliselwe kwiziseko ezingundoqo ezikhoyo, ethi ibambe amandla amaza ize iwaguqule abe ngumbane kusetyenziswa iziguquli zaselunxwemeni eziphucukileyo. Ukuveliswa kwendawo, ukuthatha inxaxheba kweenkampani ezikhethekileyo kumsebenzi wonxweme, kunye nokubandakanyeka kwabachaphazelekayo bakawonkewonke kunye nababucala kubonisa ukuzinikela okucacileyo ekuphuculeni iteknoloji kunye nokunciphisa iindleko.
Olu lingo kulindeleke ukuba lubonise iteknoloji ye impembelelo yokusingqongileyo ephantsi, iyanyuka kunye nokubanakho ukudityaniswa kumazibuko, imimandla engaselunxwemeni, kunye neminye imimandla eneentshukumo ezilungileyo zamaza. Uyilo lukwafuna ukunciphisa iindleko zokugcinwa kunye nokuququzelela ukuphindaphinda kwayo kwezinye iingingqi ukuba kubonakala kusebenza.
Indima yamandla amaza kutshintsho lwamandla
Ukuzibophelela kumandla amaza kuphendula kumxholo apho ezinye iindlela ezicocekileyo zifunwayo ukuhlula umxube wamandla kunye nokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kumafutha efosili. Nangona uphuhliso lwetekhnoloji luzisa imingeni, amandla ayo okuvelisa umbane ohlaziyekayo ngendlela eqikelelwayo kunye nokudityaniswa kwayo nezixhobo zezibuko kuthetha ukuba ihlala iyintsimi yomdla koorhulumente kunye neenkampani zobuchwepheshe.
Ngaphaya koko, imigaqo-nkqubo yoncedo kunye nomnqweno wokwenziwa ngokutsha kohlaza, eYurophu nakwezinye iindawo, zijolise ekukhuthazeni itekhnoloji ecocekileyo efana namandla amaza. Ukubandakanya imilinganiselo yentlalo, yokusingqongileyo, kunye nekhabhoni yokunciphisa unyawo kwiiprojekthi kunye noncediso-mali kukhulisa ukutsha nokuzinza kweli candelo.
Namhlanje, amandla amaza ajongene nemingeni yobugcisa, imfuno yentsebenziswano yamaziko, kunye nomngeni wokubonisa inzuzo yayo yexesha elide. Inkqubela phambili yamva nje, kunye nezifundo ezifunyenwe kwiiprojekthi zobuvulindlela, zivula indlela yentshukumo yamaza ukuze inikele ngendima yayo kwikamva lamandla azinzileyo.
Imbali yamandla amaza ibonisa indlela entsha, intsebenziswano yoluntu-yabucala, kunye nokwenziwa kwezigqibo ezinolwazi kubalulekile ekuguquleni amandla amaza abe ngumthombo ozinzileyo wombane ococekileyo. Nangona indlela izele yimiceli mngeni, impumelelo entsha nganye imele inyathelo elibalulekileyo lokusebenzisa ngokuzinzileyo ubutyebi bendalo obunikezelwa ngulwandle yonke imihla.
