Ocean Wave Energy

[hanalei169]

What is the cost for and of the up keep of the cable that brings the electricity to shore? Can the machine be used in conjunction with something to farm the sea? where do I buy stock in this company?

I saw a program on National Geographic where two guys built a very simple contraption that converted wave energy to windenergy. Simply a hollow tube with a narrower end. The bottom sits in the water. A wave comes pushes air out of the top making a turbine spin. Waves recedes sucks air back in makes the turbine spin. Use a wellsturbine and you don't loose momentum from the rotor changing direction.

@Sander198422 simple is good.

Make it so it doesnt leak..!

Pelamis is a portuguese company and technology. Not in anyway related to OPD. Why are they pushing this as theirs!? Also the have several facts wrong and miscalculated.

@zepedrodematos

Ocean Power Delivery changed its name to Pelamis Wave Power a couple of years ago. Its the same company. They have a Portuguese subsidiary.

Not Cost Effective !

i put up info on nikola teslas wireless energy system, its so important to a future world. please everyone look it up! WIRELESS ENERGY WOULD BE OBTAINABLE ANYWHERE ON EARTH!

I wish I had 59 min. to explain my project idea. After seen this huge thing floating there, my project started to even make more sense. How many of those things we can afford to have floating on the ocean, but most important, can they really power the future. My project can! Hey google, check my video: ocean power, wave power, wind turbines, sun power, (ocean power, the blue power (3rd edition))

[sparkloweb]

How many kilowatts per acre, realistically?

[Jabaheikant]

For those of you interested in an investing opportunity in wave power, there's a public company listed on the nasdag engaged in developping and commercializing systems that generate electricity by harnessing the renewable energy of ocean waves; Ocean Power Technologies(NASDAQ:OPTT)

Myself, I believe in the potential of wave-energy and have taken a position recently.

[OneRyt]

thanks bro.

[l00zekk]

I believe in Wave Energy but I'm not impressed of their product. But then again, I am often wrong :)

[ComedyLove]

if you want to get right into it go 20 min into it and he finally starts talking about how it works

[givanus28]

If they'll produce 3 MW Pelamis ...they may have a word to say

[sickliberal]

yeah the 750 kW sounds like a little side-dish. still, let them continue if it's worth the effort and cost-benefit efficient. these things will grow, i'm sure. still we need solar wind and every clever thing we can think of.

What he doesn't tell you is that it spent 2 years tied up at the pier in Lyness because it doesn't actually work! No problem when you get money thrown at you.

[Yellowhouse25]

How many light bulbs did Edison have to attempt to produce before you could communicate with this computer technology?

[geogenerated]

May another coal plant bite the dust! :D

awsome stuff
