Renewable Sources – A Genetic Perspective and Application Architecture for Improved Underwater Astronomy Observations

Abstract

The conduct of underwater astronomy is an important scientific investigation and procedure. Underwater astronomy observations require the provisioning of power to operate underwater telescopes. The observation should be done while enhancing the angular resolution and not constituting an extra load on the grid. Underwater astronomy uses underwater telescopes that are needed to ubiquitously detect neutrinos. The research proposes a novel light interception approach for the generation of electricity in the deep underwater environment. The proposed energy utilizes bio-engineered bioluminescence to realize electrical energy for underwater telescope operation. The use of the proposed energy source enables underwater telescopes to be located at different underwater locations with significant capacity to enhance the baseline. The use of the proposed approach for powering underwater telescopes enhances the observation i.e., angular resolution by an average of (34.8 – 47.8)%.
