This can reduce the number of anchors required per plant.” “Suction anchors can accept loading in multiple directions, which allows them to be connected to multiple turbines. “Our concrete, 3D-printed suction anchors will reduce the cost of anchors by up to 90% compared with traditional drag anchors when used in a shared mooring configuration,” Falzone said.

This makes them expensive and carbon-intensive they also require large vessels for installation. Gabriel Falzone, director of operations at RCAM Technologies, said traditional anchors for floating offshore wind plants are made from steel. Bowen Laboratory for Large-Scale Civil Engineering Research in Purdue’s College of Engineering. Research will be conducted at the Robert L. and U.K., received a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer grant from the National Science Foundation to develop concrete, 3D-printed suction anchors to replace traditional anchors for offshore wind plants. RCAM Technologies, which has offices in the U.S.

– Transitioning to clean wind energy could become more cost-efficient as Purdue University researchers test a new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore wind turbines. Just unzip and it's ready to go.WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Earthquakes are shown in near real-time using the latest data from the USGS via the internet.Įarthquake 3D is also free to download and super easy to install. Filter earthquakes by size and time, then select from many display options that include quake indicators and map references (such as quake depth, clusters, and Richter scale magnitude).

You can adjust and customize the display to see earthquakes in a variety of different ways. See at a glance up to seven days of global earthquake activity. You can zoom and spin your way around the globe while viewing earthquakes in three dimensions.
