Huge Energy Producing Machine From Wave Power.
See Powergen and E-on Website for more info.
The following excerpt is from the e-on website:
Site Statistics West Wave Location Wave Hub, 10 miles off Hayle on north coast of Cornwall Project scope Up to 7 Pelamis Wave Energy Converter Turbine height 120-150 metres long Total power Up to 5MW
Status Pre-planning
Why West Wave?
The UK is well placed in terms of marine energy. There is significant wave resource around the country, some of the best in the world. It has been estimated that marine renewables could meet 15% to 20% of current UK electricity demand.
E.ON is committed to helping build the UK's marine capabilities to harness the potential of our seas. West Wave will allow us to learn about wave energy developments and gain experience of the marine environment.
The West Wave Project would:
Supply enough electricity for up to 3,000 homes Displace around 11,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year Ocean Prospect
We are developing West Wave jointly with Ocean Prospect, a subsidiary of Wind Prospect.
Wave Hub
West Wave will be located at Wave Hub which is being developed by the South West Regional Development Agency. Wave Hub is effectively an underwater "socket" providing the necessary infrastructure to connect West Wave and 3 similar wave energy projects to the electricity grid. A planning application for Wave Hub was submitted in June 2006 and deployment is expected in 2008/09.
Pelamis
West Wave will utilise Ocean Power Delivery's Pelamis Wave Energy Converter which is rated at 750kW. The Pelamis is 120-150 metres long, 3.5m in diameter and weighs approximately 750 tonnes.

nikola tesla talked of this 100 yrs ago! look up "increaseing human energy"by nikola tesla! he talks of all of the renewable energy sources and also his wireless energy transfer system which would give wireless power to everyone on the earth! i even did a 20 ft wireless energy transfer which is key to showing how his system works! this system would give thousand miles range of energy for everyone to obtain like a radio but with industrial power being tranfered!
@lsbus they are 93% efficient vs. 17% for the best photovoltaic cell, 25% for the Stirling engine, 35% for wind turbines, tidal averages 20%, and 30% for fossil fuels.
No offense but you are wrong. You can check this information out at NDSU, Energy Information Association, Popular Mechanics, and on solarpowernotes.
@rock3tcat Curious, where did you see this? Because it was only up to 37% on a good year according to Popular Mechanics. I have the magazine here at my house.
@rock3tcat Just because your professor says so, the company that Popular Mechanics interviewed has said otherwise. It's in the November 2008 issue. I've been an electrician since 1991 and involved with alternative energy. Good luck with school. :)
