The wave turbine is a free energy device and is presented here. How it works is very simple, as anyone can imagine. Waves hit the shores, they enter a cavity, in the cavity there is some air, and the air pushes the propellers of a turbine which produces electricity. That type of turbine has been [...]

A long time ago, nature set its oceans and the living things in them. There were plants residing on the bottom of the ocean, plants who sway back and forth, as the water moves around them.

I received a message today from a reader suggesting a particular website. I read the information on that particular website, and there was presented a hybrid energy producing system by using the waves as a “catalyst” for the operation of a diesel-powered generator.
In short, their inventions’ descriptions are these:
“1. Wave Air Pump - WAP:

Francis Farley, an experimental physicist (I like them much more than the theoreticians), has invented the “Anaconda” wave powered device. It can mainly be described as a large distensible tube, made out of rubber, closed at both ends and filled with water. The Anaconda tube is designed to be anchored just below the sea’s surface, [...]

Treehugger presented in February a story about a wave powered boat and its sailor (Heinichi Horie), who had the guts to go from Honolulu to Japan on a 4,800 miles trip, with a boat powered solely by the waves. Today he finished his trip, according to Associated Press.

Meet Gilmartin. John Gilmartin. He’s an electrician. Though, he has never had the “taste” of electricity in his own home. He never had a TV. Nor did he live in an electrified house. That’s spooky, you may say, but mr. John Gilmartin, Scottish inventor, has found out a way to harness the free electricity from [...]

Here’s a simplistic and yet encouraging way of making yourself a water powered power station, by using a stream in the back of your house. The idea is taken from an Off-Grid.net article. In fact, the idea is not new at all: even the Romans used it thousands of years ago to power their mechanical [...]

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 [...]

This is based on the invention of Francois Kneider, whose invention I have presented in an earlier article. You may go there to find more details and plans of his invention. This is only a toy boat, intended to present the working principles.You may use small wood boards, or toy boats “borrowed” from your kids. [...]

New York city wants to build about 300 turbines in their waterway. NY’s East River has strong, fluctuating currents, allowing an efficient generation of electricity. Once built, the wave-powered system can generate enough for 10,000 homes.The city’s power consumption continues to grow yearly. They want to generate about 80% of the city’s energy by using [...]

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.The water that VIVACE uses has to be slower [...]

In the last few years governments all over the globe have searched and developed ways to harvest tidal energy, taking into consideration their country position to the sea.
UK government recently made public a plan to start harvesting tidal energy in Severn Estuary were tides rise and fall twice a day up to 12 yards.
