Sandia National Laboratories is using the power of waves to help collect ocean data. The Pioneer Array, part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, provides publicly accessible real-time ocean data via satellite. The Pioneer currently uses wind and solar to power its sensors and instruments; however, they do not provide enough power to keep its systems online fulltime. Find out how Sandia National Laboratories Water Power Technologies team is designing a wave energy converter that uses the power of ocean waves to fully power the Pioneer.
