First snow and freezing temps couldn’t keep us from the successful deployment of a Wave Energy Converter and partnership announcement between MMA, Oscilla Power and The University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center. This project began years ago, and came to life this weekend ...when the 1/6 scale prototype was installed off Dyces Head to collect data for the next few months. There are so many people who made this happen and deserve our thanks. At the top of that list is the incredible MMA Waterfront staff. Tuesday we shuttled 25 scientists, members of the press and leaders in the space out to see the Trtion™.
