    Technicians check equipment from a skiff in an indoor wave pool and wind tunnel at the University of Maine in Orono that is part of the school's expansion of its Advanced Structures and Composites Center. The center’s director says with the new equipment, they will be able to simulate a stormy ocean to help innovators find out if their creations can withstand the sea.
