Sending power to things underwater isn't easy, especially if you want them to work for a long time and with no batteries. In places like the ocean, radio waves don't work well because water and salt mess with signals.

The signals get weaker and the equipment gets disrupted. Underwater places aren't the easiest to access or maintain sensor devices installed there,

        This issue has always been a big problem for scientists. A creative solution was to create a new type of coil.

        These are coils with special, concentric electrical layers. It makes the 'coil' more focused away from the water. The coils focus on keeping the power of the power signal only inside.

          This focuses the electricity on the core coil itself. This helps avoid the surrounding water disrupting it.

        Using this new coil type, scientists put together a system with a 3-dimensional sensor. The sensor is tuned to a special accurate frequency so it doesn't get messed up easily. This system improved the antenna's quality of power signaling, ensuring the system works well.

        The result? A powered wireless sensor works underwater even in very conductive and salty water.

        The signals stay strong under the interference.  These advances help in keeping the equipment working for years using a flagship system. High conductivity is no longer a problem underwater.

        The equipment can work reliably without the use of batteries with the correct tech.

        Climatically the water has higher electrical current propagation.

        This is perfect for a place like an ocean with seaweed issues. Those obstacles can't disrupt the signal.

         The salinity can get to intense levels.

        This poses a huge challenge underwater but the special system developed can manage to communicate correctly with the new technology.

        This underwater monitoring tech was successful in environments with over 3. 5% salt

        This tech is useful underwater, especially in harsh conditions. That's why it's gaining interest in practical uses. , .

        It's not just for science projects anymore. It's for dealing with real-world problems.

        This tech could help monitor marine life.

        The new technology is environmentally friendly and can be used on a larger scale. It reduces the need for batteries and constant maintenance. This is the future of monitoring.

        This new tech could help monitor pollution. It can also be used to monitor the health of an Ocean or sea.

        This helps give us an understanding of how the climate is changing. It's a step forward in environmental science.
