Future Energy

In the vast expanse of the ocean, where beauty meets power, lies a solution to the future energy crisis: offshore wind turbines, standing tall amidst the endless waves, harnessing renewable energy at sea. But what if, in the midst of a tempestuous storm, a rogue wave unleashes its wrath upon one of these towering structures? Picture the clash between this colossal wave and a fixed offshore wind turbine, a moment captured in an experiment conducted at the Model Test Basin of the Australian Maritime College. This menacing scenario reveals the battle between nature’s fury and humanity’s quest for sustainable energy.
