Johannes Falnes
Background and activities
Personal web pages, mainly on ocean-wave energy.
In 1973 Kjell Budal (1933-1989) made an initiative to start wave-power research at NTH, University of Trondheim, and Johannes Falnes joined him in this work. From the late 1970s many other persons joined this research-and-development work. Further information is to be found, e.g. in a web article "Wave-energy research at NTH/NTNU", and, moreover, another web page lists the publications from the wave-power group. Other web pages concern teaching on wave energy.
