Above this text is a film about spine looking floating wave generator. The purpose of that system is to convert wave energy to electricity. These kinds of systems are one of the most promising things also for delivering energy for research and military reconnaissance systems.
Theoretically, nothing denies making a full-scale floating airfield that delivers hydrogen for aircraft. Water can break into hydrogen and oxygen. Those gases can use as rocket fuel.
So the next-generation rocket bases that are far from coasts can get part of their energy from waves. Also, electric-powered aircraft as well as plasma-electric engines can use floating wave energy power plants.
In the most futuristic models, the miniature aircraft carrier that operates with miniature drones like Black Hornets can look like this system. The Black Hornet can equip with weapons.
Operators can install rifle cartridges outside its body. And those cartridges can launch by using remote-controlled electric ignition.
The carpet-looking power-supply unit can make energy from waves. That system allows the long-enduring operational time for those small systems.
Green power is a safe energy source for miniature systems. That can operate autonomously. And if those miniature robots and their support systems get into the wrong hands their power source will not cause problems like RTG. If systems use RTG there is the possibility that terrorists use that thing to make a dirty bomb.
And then that system delivers energy to those miniature helicopters. The wave energy gives also small systems long-term operational capacity.
The next-generation autonomous robot can be like a carpet. It gets energy from waves and solar panels. That kind of system can operate both, in scientific and reconnaissance missions. The system can have hydrophones, sonar systems, and satellite communication tools.
Also, those systems can have the ability to dive deep. And in some visions, the robot submarine that looks like a tapeworm could operate underwater conditions. That robot can fill its batteries from the surface. And wave energy can also use for making hydrogen for the fuel cells that allow them to operate in underwater conditions.
But the same technology that MIT created for an underwater camera that doesn't need batteries can also use for delivering electricity to robots. If we forget regular hydro plants and wave power, there are two easy ways to create electricity for devices. The first one is to use a capillary tube. When water flows up in that tube it rotates the turbine wheel.
And in another version, the system benefits sodium and chlorine ions. Na+ ions and Cl- anions are normally forming a salt. But those ions and anions are offering the possibility to create an energy source for small devices. In Na+ Cl- battery electrons travel from chlorine to sodium. And that thing can also use for energy production. There is lots of salt in the ocean. And those ions can use as energy sources.
