Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous or semi-autonomous growth platform used to control live cargo exposures to environmental parameters by changing depth in an offshore environment. For example, the growth platform can be lowered at night so that farmed seaweed can perform luxury uptake of nutrients and raised during the daytime so that the farmed seaweed can capture sunlight.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous modular breakwater system. An example system includes a plurality of autonomous submersible structures, each configured to mechanically link to any other of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures to form a breakwater. The system includes a controller configured to perform operations including: determining a location for construction of a breakwater; determining an initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures; selecting, based at least in part on the initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures, a subset of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures for constructing the breakwater; and transmitting, to each of the selected autonomous submersible structures, instructions to transit from the respective initial location to the location for construction of the breakwater and to mechanically couple to at least one other autonomous submersible structure to form the breakwater.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement a mobile filtration system that provides sustainable, on-demand water filtration while supporting the growth and maintenance of organisms. The method includes determining an environmental parameter associated with a volume of water, determining, based on the determined environmental parameter, a control parameter for an autonomous submersible structure that includes a platform on which marine life grows, and generating, based on determining the control parameter, an instruction for the autonomous submersible structure.

Abstract: A method for energy generation includes receiving, at a carbon negative energy generation system, input including calcium oxide and water and reacting, within a reaction chamber of the carbon negative energy generation system, the calcium oxide and water to release energy and generate calcium hydroxide. The method further includes directing, by the carbon negative energy generation system, the released energy to facilitate propulsion or onboard electricity generation and dispensing, by the carbon negative energy generation system, the calcium hydroxide into the ocean to sequester atmospheric CO2.

Abstract: Airborne wind turbine systems with multiple aerial vehicles connected via multiple tethers to a single ground station are disclosed. A node is coupled to the tethers. The node includes a drive system. At a proximate end of the node, each of the tethers is adjacent to neighboring tethers. And at a distal end of the node, each of the tethers is separated from the neighboring tethers. The airborne wind turbine system includes a control system configured to operate the drive system to translate the node along the tethers.

Abstract: Offshore airborne wind turbine systems with an aerial vehicle connected to an undersea anchor via a tether are disclosed. A floating landing platform may be coupled to the tether and be dragged along the surface of the water along with the tether. The landing platform may be designed such that the tether can freely pass through the platform, allowing the aerial vehicle to ascend, descend, move laterally, and in crosswind flight, without creating a significant tension load on landing platform. The landing platform may also include a tether drive mechanism that can actively move the tether through the platform, thus changing the platform's location along the length of the tether.

Abstract: A system for servicing watercraft includes one or more waterborne platforms. Each waterborne platform includes an electric power supply, a driving system for moving the waterborne platform in a body of water, a watercraft interfacing system configured to at least supply electric power to an electrically-powered watercraft, and a control interface configured to exchange data with a controller. The controller is configured to: receive input data, determine respective destination locations for the waterborne platforms to supply electric power to the electrically-powered watercraft, and send control data that includes data indicating the destination locations to the waterborne platforms.
