<P>There's power in them thar waves! That's why Portugal built Agucadoura, the 
world's first wave farm off its coast, consisting of three Wave Energy 
Converters generating a total of 2.25MW. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php">
<P>The elongated metal contraptions bob up and down with the waves, while 
internal pistons, attached to the sea floor, remain stationary and pump 
hydraulic fluid. This drives electric generators, whose power is brought ashore 
by underwater electrical cables. The wave farm is now tapping into enough 
constant, renewable energy to power 1500 homes.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/dvice.com/img/61B4E62A-DA23-47AE-96E1-86713982AC47" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/dvice.com/img/F1798E63-67DD-44ED-8866-2131E6D122DC" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php?p=1&cat=undefined" href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php?p=1&cat=undefined" style="font-size: 11px;">dvice.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/worlds_first_wa.php?p=1&cat=undefined"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/dvice.com/img/914A9B90-2C0E-4B7B-9669-ADF9ACACF5A5" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9C1234B5-2B70-429F-A828-E06C649827CF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
