Monitoring the Ocean's VitalsEngineering Technologies has modified its Platypus generator to fit within the hull of an underwater vehicle. The Platypus Prowler submersible device carries its self-charging power pack in its belly and travels indefinitely! To do so, it points its nose to the sky and extends it fins at the surface to harvest energy when its batteries are low. The Platypus Prowler will collect vital information on the health of the ocean and hunt down threatening hurricanes.
