A new class of elastic energy converters is emerging, with the ability to capture energy from a variety of different motions. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is pushing to deploy them, first in a series of strange, bendy wave energy designs.
This is a companion discussion for the article “Elastic, robotic generators open up strange new energy capture ideas - https://newatlas.com/energy/elastomeric-flexible-generators-nrel/” submitted on the community's news feed.
