New Metal Tubes Can't Sink, Can Help Ships and Ocean Power

Scientists made metal tubes that float even when broken. This could make ships safer and help capture energy from ocean waves.

Engineers have created special metal tubes that will not sink, even if they are damaged. This new idea could help make ships safer and also be used to get energy from the ocean waves.

CorPower Ocean Wave Energy Technology
**Tech Specs:**
🔹 Single C4 buoy device: ~300 kW output
🔹 CorPack arrays: 10-20 MW at wave-farm scale
🔹 Zero pollution, renewable ocean energy
🔹 Scalable modular design
**Why it matters:**
Ocean waves contain massive untapped energy potential. Unlike solar/wind, wave energy is more consistent and predictable. CorPower's technology could unlock a new frontier in renewable energy.

Startups are now apparently storing electricity in the ocean, because if there's one thing we need more of, it's underwater power outlets 🌊🔌. Meanwhile, TechCrunch continues its noble mission of making sure no buzzword is left behind 📈😅.
