Real world applications of Nortek products
Interested visitors?
A Vector deployment in a coral reef is sure to grab the attention of local residents. Completely oblivious of the acoustic intereference it may cause, this Barracuda just "gotta check it out".
File conversion programs
Do you ever need a quick conversion program that takes you from one instrument format to another? Want to see Vector data with Tony Wahl's WinADV, or run wave analyses on Aquadopp data using Quick Wave??
Tidal energy - real world performance analyses
One of UK’s many renewable energy companies, Tidal Generation Limited, has developed an impeller tidal turbine to produce electrical energy from tidal currents. They contacted Nortek when they wanted to analyze the relationship between incoming currents and produced energy, to understand the effect of waves, and possibly in the future to control the pitch of the turbine blades.
Aquadopp Profiler Installed on WEBB Glider
Nortek has collaborated with scientists to integrate an Aquadopp Profiler on a WEBB Glider.
HR shows the small scales
The pulse coherent technology embedded in the HR version of the Aquadopp profiler provides a higher temporal and spatial resolution than what we are used to seeing with Doppler current profilers. A recent test off a dock in Coconut Grove, Miami illustrates the point.
