You can’t get 200Kw of power from wave that carry on 20Kw of energy. Your estimates violate conservation of energy laws! You are wrong by at least a factor of 10 and that is assuming 100% conversion efficiency. Maybe that is one reason no one is paying attention to your ideas.

Currently the most productive is the “Triton”, designed in Italy for wave motion of 19.69 inches, (about 50 cm), with no limit in height of the waves. The most obvious peculiarity is the large amount of energy produced, there isn’t currently a system that produces more energy. I do not know how to behave in the U.S., but in Italy it is very difficult to present new technologies, where the individual elements producing 200 kW, from the waves of one meter. These are the minimum production data: for 1 kmq, of the sea surface or ocean, at least 1 GW or more, (instant, 24 GW for Day, GW 8.760 – year), production equal to 1 GW, of 1 nuclear reactor, operating at 100% throughout the year, which produces 8.7 TW, but without the drawbacks of nuclear power. If you consider this a interesting system, you can contact me for more information, or to see the systems at sea in 2010.

Best regards, G. Piccinini Raoul.

Stay tuned to learn more about this promising new technology.
