* DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
****************************************
The development of the power generation buoy was started more than 20 years ago as a
development of FRP honeycomb structure. As a result of the research and development,
the peel off problem that was a fatal defect of the honeycomb panel was solved. And
we developed an excellent high-pressure tank in safety by making a lot of tanks gather
in the honeycomb shape. This high-pressure tank is expected as a transportation tank
of the high-pressure natural gas and the hydrogen gas. The patent has been applied
for.

* FEATURES
****************************************
The main features of the wave activated power generation system are described below.
High performance better than the wave activated power generation employed for similar
applications;
Electricity can be generated by two processes, the buoyancy and gravity;
Steady and eternal energy in ocean;
Fuel expense for power generation is unnecessary;
The energy in unit area is 20-30 times of photovoltaic generation energy and is five
times or more the force of the wind;
Virtually no noise pollution;
Safe, clean and low cost;
****************************************
* ADVANTAGES OF THE TECHNOLOGY
****************************************
The major advantages of the technology can be summarized as:
Electricity can be generated at daytime and night;
No fuel costs;
Low maintenance requirements;
Zero emissions;
No noise pollution; and
Zero pollution source from accidental fuel spills or cooling water.
Due to the small number of moving parts, maintenance requirements are minimal.
A further advantage is that power generation buoy made from FRP is not corroded with
seawater. And, it does not rust because the gear system of the wave activated power
generation never stops eternally. The bearing soaked to seawater can be manufactured
from the carbon material.
