Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology

In this podcast episode, we look at exciting research projects and their concrete application. We start directly on the seafloor, accompanying a robot, an autonomous vehicle that can work on its own down there.

And we learn a lot about marine technology research projects of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, which is the world's leading research institution for applied research - it is always about future-oriented key technologies - marine technology plays a major ROLE here, at Fraunhofer, there is a dedicated competence network "Oceantechnology".

My guests in this podcast episode:

Thomas Rauschenbach, the spokesman for this competence network, and also the director of the Fraunhofer Applied Systems engineering.
Steffen Knodt, head of the Sustainable Ocean Business Center in Rostock/ Lübeck of the Fraunhofer.

In Canada - the country with the longest coastline worldwide - ocean technology is a crucial technology. In this podcast episode, Leann Collins, Director, Projects and Stakeholder Relations at the Association of British Columbia Marine Industries and Enrico Nake, Trade Officer at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, talk about the strength of the ocean technology companies at the west coast, about their challenges and about unique inventions.

In this podcast episode, I talk to Dr. Alexandre Orth, Head of Subsea Automation Systems at Bosch Rexroth and with Gottfried Hendrix, Manager of Technical Systems and Solutions, Technical Architect for Subsea Automation Systems, also at Bosch Rexroth. Together with a team, the two have developed the world's smallest electric subsea actuator, which can replace the conventional hydraulic cylinder without taking up additional space.

This podcast episode is all about the electricity that is generated from the wind on our seas - in offshore wind farms. Without marine technology, it wouldn't work. Every single wind turbine is anchored in the seabed.
1500 turbines are located between 15 and 150 km from the German coast with an installed capacity of 8 gigawatts. Offshore wind energy is highly topical - not only because of the current energy crisis. The German government wants to rapidly increase the expansion.
Karina Würtz, Managing Director of the Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, talks about what this means and how quickly the expansion can be achieved in this podcast episode.

Welcome to this podcast episode in which I talk to engineer Jürgen Rüffer. He is the managing director of ALLSAT GmbH in Hanover, where everything revolves around surveying.
Jürgen Rüffer is a geodesist, a surveying expert and much more than that.

But where do you actually need surveying at sea? Well, if you've ever seen an offshore installation from the air, you might have noticed that the individual wind turbines are lined up like on a string of pearls, very precisely.

How do you measure something like that? How accurate can you get with GPS data, for example? Not that accurate, says Jürgen Rüffer, only to within 1 meter. However, he manages to determine the location of an offshore wind turbine with centimetre accuracy. He will explain to us how this works in the course of this podcast episode.
