northern and southern hemispheres. it s not. and in the 1970 s. scientists developed a series of new mechanisms intended to convert the energy of surface waves into electricity many believe that wave energy converters were on the verge of a breakthrough. and one such device was called the salter s duck named after its inventor stephen salter from adam burke the duck was tested wave but never on the open sea. and sensually these ideas fell by the wayside. in the early 2000 came a new attempt with this snake like offshore device it s linked cylindrical sections flex and bend in the waves and convert the motion into electricity but it never got past the prototype stage. german engineers are currently testing another system the
a mark of source of climate friendly energy but how can we harness that power tidal amplitudes very dramatically around the globe and parts of western europe they re particularly pronounced. the 1st tide mills were built in the middle ages or even earlier they were driven by the daily changes in water levels. in the 1960 s. this idea was picked up again and engineers built the 1st big tidal power station in brittany and from. turbines inside the tarred liberace s are driven by the ebb and flow of the ocean. but the engineers encountered a problem only few things are suitable for this type of power plant and the barrage has also disrupt the coastal ecosystem. but that didn t stop them they saw other ways of using marine energy this time focusing on the strength of the waves. wind generated surface waves tend to be large and strong as high latitudes of the

gallo, co-leader of the flight for air france 447. and when you look at the miracle on the hudson, just to reiterate, completely unlikely in the indian ocean. you know, i thought that at first, as you watch the search go on there are times where it is relatively calm out there. you do have the swells as opposed to the surface waves. i m not ruling that out still. but still, the plane has not been found and no debris has been found. that is what makes me think it didn t break up. so if you think about that but it would still have sunk. well, yeah, it would have, of course. except for the fact that it was outfitted with out-flow valves that you can turn on, they have to be manually done in the sullenberger landing, those were automatical lally deployed wher floats. but if somebody were
