Why do we need wind turbines that float? 🌊 Learn why our team at @FloWaveOcean is working with #industry to develop next-generation #OffshoreWind devices which could help the UK meet its pressing #NetZero targets. edin.ac/41wISq3 @EdinInnovations @EdSust @IEEESpectrum

This Saturday (23 September) we'll be running demonstrations of the test tank from 11am to 2pm as part of @ColSciEng #DoorsOpenDay. Drop by to see how we replicate sea states from offshore renewable energy sites from around the world (plus some wave "party tricks"!).

📽️ Chapter 2 of our #marineenergy mini-series explores the circular innovation pathway in Scotland🔄 From tank simulations to open sea demonstrations, Scotland's infrastructure reduces the time, cost & risk of commercialising ocean energy technologies. youtube.com/watch?v=adocDC…

Happy #NationalEngineeringDay to all our collaborators in @SchoolOfEng_UoE and beyond! As we get ready to enter our tenth year of operation it's great to see researchers in both academia and industry continuing push advances in #OceanEnergy and tank testing.

You may have seen the "FloWave Spike" before, but did you know that the science behind it is contributing to knowledge on wave breaking in the ocean? Through studying these crossing seas we aim to understand implications for maritime safety. #WorldOceansDay

@SchoolOfEng_UoE and our colleagues at @oxengsci and @UoMSciEng experimental recreations of rogue waves provide important information for many engineering challenges - lighthouses included! Find out more on @channel5_tv with @MrRobBell at 9pm tonight.

FloWave and #FASTBLADE are again pleased to feature in the @heraldscotland review of Scotland's Renewable sector. Learn how the facilities work together within @SchoolOfEng_UoE to provide research solutions to the tidal energy sector. edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/p…

👋Hello again! Teething problems with Twitter now sorted! #PriorsfordBooks is open again under new management in #Peebles. We sell second-hand and nearly new books at affordable prices, with a growing selection of prints and book-related gifts #shoplocal #choosebookshops

Through our work with the @InterregTiger project, we're at FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at @EdinburghUni to stress test an O2 model - all part of getting ready to deliver #tidalenergy globally! #TIGERproject

Morning briefing by @FloWaveOcean manager: today we setup the first ever test of passively pitching blades on a 1:15 scale tidal turbine!!! #morphingblades #tidal #renewableenergy
