PowerBuoy-The United States' First Tidal Power Generator Connected To The Grid
Last year, the Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) company has developed a tidal power generator that has now been connected to the energy grid at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii as part of the firm's program with the US Navy to test wave energy technology, giving the US their the first-ever grid connection for a wave energy device.
15% of U.S. Electricity to Be Generated From Ocean Waves By 2030
From being like a drop in the ocean, the ocean being the national usage of electricity, tidal energy is set to become much more...
Wave Energy Converters: Are They Ready For This Century?
Wave energy converters are always specially designed to ensure that they generate maximum possible electricity from the movement of the waves around them. The...
Francois Kneider's Wave Powered Boat Working Principles
While about a month ago I was presenting an article about Suntory Mermaid II, a boat powered only by the movement of the waves, I am now presenting an inventor, named Francois Kneider, who in his seventies, continues to amaze the people who know him by the number of ideas he has and the innovations he brought to life. In 2005, he focused on building wave powered systems for boats.

VIVACE: Transforming Destructive Water Vibrations Into Electricity
VIVACE (Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy) is a newly invented machine harvesting slow-moving ocean and river currents. A researcher from the University of Michigan has come up with the system that works like a fish, turning potentially destructive vibrations found in fluid flows into electricity.
WaveNET Floating Array Brings Back Hope in Wave Power
Although it has been around for quite a while, wave energy has not managed to compete with the big guys- wind and solar. The...
Wave Treader: Joining Wind and Wave Power
By combining wind and wave power, the energy output can be drastically increased. The Wave Treader that enables the mix-up will probably be available on the market by 2011.
