Real world applications of Nortek products
Z-cell article in SeaTechnology
We are pleased to announce that SeaTechnology has published an article describing the prototype Z-cell test that was carried out in 2009 as a collaborative effort between NDBC and Nortek. A reprint of the article is now available in the Knowledge Center
Velocity Measurements on Gliders
Innovative mechanical designs and lower power electronics open new possibilities for academic research and commercial projects
Musical velocimetry
On the 12th of September a pretty spectacular Vectrino application will be on display in London, UK. The three velocity components from a Nortek Vectrino will be fed into a computer, converted to musical notes, and played live by 40 musicians.
Laying the foundations for the commercial development of tidal turbine arrays
Marine current conversion technology is at the prototype stage with the deployment of single turbines already underway. In the short to medium term, turbines will be installed in farms - arrays of turbines - that will interact with the flow and each other, modifying, both the performance of, and the loading experienced by the turbines.
