Dr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Carlon presented a combined seminar on “An overview of recent Wave Glider® field programs”. ABSTRACT: Wave Gliders® (WGs) use wave energy for propulsion through the synergistic alternating thrust of wave action on the floating vehicle and mechanical wings 6 m below the vehicle. They provide dynamic environmental monitoring in the maritime environment with […]
