純粹的鈉金屬一碰到水就會劇烈爆開,讓我們放慢動作仔細看:一道電子流拋下鈉金屬,轉而與水交互作用,產生氫氣與其他物質,同時這個反應產生熱,高溫使鈉融化,又因為氫氣可燃,最後氫氣被點燃……先看到這裡,由布拉格捷克科學院(Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, ASCR)的化學家 Pavel Jungwirth 所領導的科學家們對這段描述不甚滿意。

可是海上的風就是比陸地上強上好幾倍,這麼香的風力來源怎麼能放著不用呢?來自挪威的公司 World Wide Wind 提出了一種浮標式風電機組,省去了海底工程的麻煩。這種風電機組採用垂直軸的設計,這樣機組就不會被海風吹著跑。整個裝置可以靠著海面下的配重平衡地直立在海面上,除了電纜之外不須要任何固定措施。這大大地擴展了離岸風電的發展空間。許多最佳的風場位在離岸較遠的深海區域,我們沒辦法在這些海床上豎立巨大的水平軸風車,這時候就可以透過漂浮式構造來擴張風電的勢力範圍。
