Ideas under Incubation

Electrokinetic energy

We're considering new program ideas related to electrokinetic energy harvesting for potential ocean-based applications. 

This includes streaming potential, osmotic power, and evaporation/condensation-based energy generation for things like ocean sensors and small unmanned underwater vehicles. 

Researchers, end users and other stakeholders are encouraged to contact Program Manager Keith Whitener.

 

Before an idea becomes a program, it gets mulled, kicked around, and questioned. During this period of contemplation, our program managers talk – a lot – to experts, potential transition partners, and each other. But we often wonder: What information are we missing that would provide much-needed context for program development?

Read through our "Ideas under Incubation" and if inspired, share your thoughts.
