Keep Up With Ocean Energy Developments in the U.S. and Abroad
If you’re trying to keep abreast of all of the development in the ocean renewable and offshore wind community, please visit the LOCE Offshore Wind and Wave Weblog. It’s just been updated, with links to articles on new projects and other news relevant to those following the ocean energy industry.
Here new to proceed of navigation to renewable energy (see web site below)

Renewable Energy
Wave Energy Propeller Engine
Wave Energy Driven Ship
The present device concerns an engine of Navigation. Navigating on a sea, lake, ocean or any water surface shaken by waves, undulations, streams, etc.
The device according to the invention, aims at supplying a means of
Navigation appropriate (clean), easy to use; it can be an additional means of navigation.
The device according to this invention allows navigation. By converting the kinetic energy of movements, the oscillations, right-left an/or front-back or high /down to a uni-directional one-way horizontal push. These energies are free, renewable but still undeveloped yet in navigations . They have an uncomfortable incidence. (sea sickness)
This device doing the conversion, a part of the oscillations. (Friction, Vertical Level variations), to a (one-way) horizontal push.
In fact, any variation of the boat level is attenuated and converted to a one-way horizontal push. This device converting the bi-directional kinetic energy (up/down),or any variation immerged /emerged area to a horizontal kinetic energy (one-way) push .
This device has been experimented on a prototype (at a reduced scale) and it works perfectly. We can do a demonstration.
Navigating waves energy propeller engine . ( a model set video available)
Wave is the most abundant source of renewable energy in the world. The usefulness of available wave energy has no longer to be proved. The average the most economical, the most profitable and the most practical is to use this energy on the spot that mean on board of a vessel, ship, boat, platform or any floating element which needs to move on the ocean or sea, without any need of transforming, transporting and/or stocking.
The energy converting device uses the principle of an oscillating (frequency different) Boat / Water. This device converts the bi-directional (up/down )of the Boat’s (kinetic energy ) to a uni-directional horizontal power push
Because Navigating with wave energy needs ,requires no access roads, infrastructure .
Wave energy devices are quieter and much less visually obtrusive than wind devices, which typically energy devices can be integrated in Boat producing power to travel exactly where it is needed;
When constructed with materials developed for use on Boat, Ship, Vessel, ocean wave power navigating devices (which contain few moving parts) should cost less to construction and maintain than… ( photos& video clip on request) ..
