Quench Sea is a new handheld desalination device that runs on manual human power. It combines a hydraulic system, triple prefiltration and a small reverse osmosis membrane that turns seawater into clean drinking water, producing 3 liters every hour, using a pumping action. Suitable for boaters, sailors and any marine application, Quench Sea is a useful survival device for communities

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has accepted a new method of deep-ocean, mobile desalination by Bob Evans and Susanne Chess that could revolutionize the production of freshwater. Significant energy savings are predicted as deep-ocean pressure does much of the work required to force saltwater through reverse osmosis filters. The process is natural. By operating below 900 ft., where

A new report, “Wave, Tidal and Hydro Power 1W-10MW 2018-2038,” reveals that opportunities and progress in wave power are greater than is commonly portrayed. Zero emission desalination, aquaculture, ships, seafloor mining, smart buoys, oil and gas subsea without umbilicals, ocean monitoring, microgrids and minigrids are all part of the picture for river and ocean electricity technology and markets. These technologies
