Ocean Energy

I'm not sure whether it's tidal or wave energy that you're thinking of, but this is certainly being investigated. [jutta, Nov 28 2000]

Gyro-Gen
http://www.latimes....&ctrack=1&cset=true
California high-school teen produces electricity from ocean waves using gyroscopes and wins Siemens-Westinghouse $100,000 science prize. Apparently, some four years after the above posting, independent judges have found this approach significantly singular, prize-worthy, and patentable. [jurist, Jan 08 2005]

Baked. Maxim magazine, July 2001 issue, page 104. "Catching a Wave: Can we really solve the world's energy problems and screw the Iraquis, too? Keep talkin'."
A Scottish company called Wavegen in Scotland has made the Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer (LIMPET), a turbine generator that produces enough electricity to power 400 homes. |

its not exactly a detailed description is it. do you mean using ocean currents? theres certainly a lot of energy in them |
