Australia's Alternative Energy Program Rises with the Waves
Not only is Australia a large land mass that constitutes an entire country and continent, it is also a rather large island with miles and miles of shoreline. It is off of Australia's abundant coastline that the renewable energy of wave power is harnessed. Since agreeing to the Kyoto Protocol, Australia has made great strides in the advancement of wave power.
The Oceanlinx is a wave energy converter device developed in Australia. Founded by Dr. Tom Denniss in 1997, Oceanlinx technology has grown rapidly since that time due to numerous investments from energy firms as well as a $1.21 million research and development grant from the federal government in 2004. The grant was part of Australia's Wave Energy Optimisation program, established to help meet the guidelines set by the Kyoto Protocol.
Oceanlinx is testing a wave power system at the New South Wales suburb of Port Kembla. A noted seaport, its location on a particularly wavy portion of the ocean makes it an ideal site to utilize the renewable energy created by water movement. It is hoped that the Oceanlinx will provide electricity and water to the homes, steel mills, and shipping companies found in Port Kembla, providing evidence of the efficient energy production of wave power to the rest of Australia.
In addition to electricity generation, drinking water can be provided by wave power. As buoys rise and fall, driving pistons up and down with their motion, water is forced through lines that power electrical turbines. Some of this water is directed to desalination plants, producing clean drinking water straight from the largest source of H2O on the planet; the ocean!
Based on this application of wave power as well as the efficient performance of the Oceanlinx device, Carnegie Corporations seek to develop three of these wave power projects in Australia. They wish to tether buoys to pistons submerged 15 to 50 meters below the water's surface. Carnegie's desire is to establish a 50 MW demonstration in Western Australia by the end of 2013. Another 50 MW wave power project is set for development near the town of Albany in Western Australia, jointly funded by Carnegie Corporations and the state government.
As numerous countries around the world look to alternative energies for electricity and other power generation, Australia has taken the lead in wave power. Renewable energy that powers homes and provides drinking water only makes sense in a country surrounded by ocean.

wave $228.05 Vierkanal Pumpensteuerung zur Erzeugung wechselnder StrömungenWechselnde Strömung ist besonders im Korallenriffaquarium unabdingbar. Der Aqua Medic WAVE ist ein mikroprozessorgesteuerter Pumpen Controller. Es können drei Strömungspumpen und eine Filterpumpe angeschlossen werden. Die Strömungspumpen werden nach dem Zufallsprinzip geschaltet, so daß in wechselnden Kombinationen zwischen 0 und 3 Pumpen in Betrieb sind. Die Umschalthäufigkeit ist zwischen ca. 2 und 8 Minuten einstellbar. Der vierte Kanal (Filterpumpe) bleibt kontinuierlich eingeschaltet. Zur Fütterung, besonders zur Fütterung von Wirbellosen mit Planktonfutter, kann der Pausenknopf betätigt werden. Es werden dann alle 4 Pumpen, also auch die Filterpumpe, für ca. 10 Minuten ausgeschaltet. Ein eingebauter Lichtsensor schaltet bei Dunkelheit in das Nachtprogramm. Es arbeitet jetzt abwechselnd nur noch eine Strömungspumpe.  Ein externer Lichtsensor ist als Zubehör lieferbar. Es können Strömungspumpen Power Heads bis 100 Watt pro Kanal angeschlossen werden. |

Gabrielle Roth: The Power Wave - $19.99 Ecstatic dance is an ancient spiritual practice based on body movements which had been all but forgotten in modern times until a teacher at the Esalen Institute began experimenting with it 35 years ago. That teacher, Gabrielle Roth, is recognized worldwide today for helping to re-create what the New York Post has called a "map for the entire creative process." The third video of Roth's "Wave" series introduces viewers to the high-velocity dance called the "Power Wave," designed to get the psyche moving while inspiring spontaneous states of creative, intuitive energy. ~ Kathryn Tamms, Rovi |

Wave Farm $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A wave farm or wave power farm is a collection of machines in the same location and used for the generation of wave power electricity. Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work for example for electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is distinct from the diurnal flux of tidal power and the steady gyre of ocean currents. Wave power generation is not currently a widely employed commercial technology although there have been attempts at using it since at least 1890. The worlds first commercial wave farm is based in Portugal, at the Aguadoura Wave Park, which consists of three 750 kilowatt Pelamis devices.
