Down on the Farm

As OSU’s mobile veterinary clinic travels from farm to farm in Benton County, small-talk is all about large animals and their care.
OSU electrical engineers Annette von Jouanne and Alan Wallace and their students are developing innovative wave energy devices. Their plan to create a wave energy research park near Reedsport, Oregon, brings hope to a community hit hard by economic decline.
OSU’s “direct-drive” buoy approaches allow electrical generators to respond directly to ocean waves.
Taking an annual harvest of a quarter-million pounds of Dungeness from his 85-foot craft Ossian, this crabber brings a lifetime of ocean experience to his role as an “industry cooperator” with OSU.
There’s something serendipitous, almost poetic, about von Jouanne’s work in wave energy. Wallace was, in a sense, circling back when he teamed up with von Jouanne to puzzle out the problem of wave energy.
