Concept in Ocean Wave Energy
Here’s a concept in ocean wave energy that is explained in a short video. Here’s the problem these guys are going to run into: they share a widely held misunderstanding that water in waves moves in the direction of the …
Concept in Wave Energy
I just received a note from a reader, asking me to check out his concept in wave energy. As a prelude, he offered the video below, which examines the validity of the overall concept of extracting energy from the motion …

More on Wave Energy
In response to my recent post Wave Energy Isn’t Going To Make It, a commenter writes: Wave energy may not be completely finished. Such technologies may not be economic in today’s economic dynamics, but who knows what the future may hold for …
Wave Energy Isn’t Going To Make It
Facebook users who follow renewables are quite accustomed to seeing videos on ocean wave energy, like this one. I have to admit; there is an intuitive appeal to the subject, as we can all visualize the vast power of the …
Exec Turnover in the Wave Energy Industry Raises Suspicions
Nowadays, everyone’s alert to “fake news”; no one wants to be duped by deliberate lies that wind up in our media. But, of all the different types of stories we come across each day, perhaps the most dubious are those …

Ocean Hydrokinetics: Wave, Tidal, and Current
Here’s a cool little video that I post largely because it serves as a microcosm of human ingenuity. How many different ways can you invent to solve the same problem (in this case, extracting the kinetic energy out of moving …
Wave Energy Continues To Make Progress, But….
I’m on the receiving end of a constant barrage of press releases that boast breakthroughs in every conceivable flavor of renewable energy. And, as much as I hate to be cynical, I have to believe that most of this stuff …
The Law of the Jungle Applies to Wave Energy and All Other Forms of Renewable Energy
Here’s a good article on wave energy, i.e., the conversion of the mechanical energy from ocean waves into electricity. For what it’s worth, I’m hoping that this arena will one day succeed, and I agree that if it does, this …
