A silent but informative introduction to how wave power works. The power in our seas is vast - and wave power is at an innovative stage. According to government and industry figures, wave and tidal power combined could meet 12.5 per cent of today's electricity demand - economically and practically - by 2025.It's an opportunity we can't afford to let slip.

  • I don't see this as ...

    I don't see this as such a viable option. I think the dutch version is far better. They're 1/5 mile offshore, TOTALLY submerged, and the power generation takes place ON LAND. That way, you're not losing power sending it a mile or so thru a cable IN THE WATER.

    If I can find some vids regarding, I'll try to post. But it's been the system that's been largely responsible for Holland still having dry land.

  • 1º - every thing ...

    1º - every thing you see on this video it´s not true.
    2º - one Pelamis can produce 750kw.
    3º - maybe 100 Pelamis can produce energy for Australia.
    Please take this video out, the machines don't work like that.
    Cheers
    Peace

    Apparently, a 30MW wavefarm would occupy around one square km of ocean and produce enough power for over 20,000 homes.
