Deep-Water Wind Revolution: Floating Turbines Set to Transform Offshore Energy

Deep-Water Wind Revolution: Floating Turbines Set to Transform Offshore Energy

Floating wind turbines are offshore wind generators mounted on buoyant platforms tethered to the seabed with mooring lines, allowing deployment in waters far deeper than 60 meters where fixed-bottom foundations aren’t feasible. About 80% of the world’s offshore wind potential lies in

Satellites Powered by Water? The Revolutionary Propellant Changing Spaceflight

Water propulsion for satellites can use steam propulsion (resistojet), electrolysis to hydrogen and oxygen for combustion, or water-plasma/ion thrusters for high-ISP propulsion. Momentus Space’s Vigoride uses a Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) that microwaves water with solar power to boil it into plasma
