Entries for Ocean Observing Prize

Buoy with cable attached for gradient temperature and salinity estimate

The self generating energy harvesting system is based on principle of gyroscope motion

The EEL System harvests hydrodynamic energy during maneuvering by mimicking the gait of aquatic eels.

A self-powered and self-propelled platform compatible with a series of ocean observation tasks

The Halona WEC is a mobile wave energy conversion platform that provides power to sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles.

A WEC device optimized to power marine monitoring payloads at sea.

We use Ocean Current and/or Buoy and/or Solar to power the AUV.

Buoy is used to harness wave power and supply it to AUV using Battery as storage medium.

Our goal is to create a fleet of small, cheap, efficient, long duration vehicles that can place sensors in interesting places in the ocean.

The Platypus Prowler AUV carries a WEC in its belly as it searches endlessly for hurricane conditions. It’s easily deployed by two adults.

Our artificial reefs can be equipped with a range of sensors and cameras that collect data, this can be used in institutes and industries

A wave-powered Autonomous Underwater Glider, which uses less energy than other underwater vehicles and can self-power with wave energy

The Multi-Body design is a point absorber, lightweight, mobile and allows for ease of transportation and rapid deployment in the field.

Self propelled, autonomous, surface WEC powered device that can produce energy from the up and down motion of the waves.

NOAA should contact the US navy to obtain permission to use the nuclear submarines to observe the ocean and hurricanes by placing periscopes
