High-frequency current source converter for a direct drive powertrain in a wave energy converter
The Journal of Engineering, 2019 Wave energy converters (WECs) generally use a mechanical solution such as hydraulics or gearing to optimise the extraction of energy from the incoming waves prior to converting it into electrical energy via a high-speed rotating generator.

Water molecules on the liquid superlubricity interfaces achieved by phosphoric acid solution
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2018 The superlubricity mechanism of phospholipid molecules on biological surfaces and interfaces has been receiving much attention. Since the superlubricity can be achieved with a phosphoric acid aqueous solution, the interaction of the phosphate group with ...
