France Info: interview sur le SEAREV

Françoise Rauser on November 22, 2007 | 916 Views

Je suis native de Nantes (France) et lorque j'ai entendu dans ma voiture qu'un nantais était interviewé par Marie-Odile Monchicourt sur France Info, j'ai bien entendu dressé l'oreille. L'entretien portait sur le SEAREV (Système électrique autonome de récupération de l'énergie des vagues), un projet consistant à pouvoir produire de l'électricité en utilisant l'énergie de la houle.

Voici donc en substance cet interview que vous pourrez retrouver sur le site rubrique sciences

 

Hakim MOUSLIM est ingénieur de recherche au CNRS au laboratoire de mécanique des fluides de l’Ecole Centrale de NANTES. Il collabore à la mise au point d’un système qui ressemble à une bouée que l’on positionne en mer et à l’intérieur de laquelle se trouve un pendule, une masse mobile sous forme d’une roue de 9m. de diamètre. Sous le mouvement des vagues, cette roue se balance, tel un pendule, qui ainsi peut entraîner des pompes hydrauliques qui, elles-même, viennent pomper de l’huile d’un réservoir basse pression vers des accumulateurs haute pression. Cette huile haute pression est ensuite débitée dans des moteurs à cylindré variable, puis des alternateurs pour générer enfin de l’électricité.
