Greater potential presence

Wave energy potential is thought to be greatest in areas of larger waves. These areas of large wave concentrations are the North Atlantic, the Pacific Northwest, Australia, and the west coast of South
America.

OWAP works in 2 meter waves

Although, the OWAP would work perfectly fine in these high wave environments, because of its unique “mechanical advantage”
design, it can also be deployed in areas of smaller waves. This opens up a much larger potential deployment area including near large population centers, thereby cutting down on transmission infrastructure.

The simplicity of the design of the OWAP allows for readily available materials and simple
construction techniques to be used in the construction of the device.

These factors make the OWAP more desirable and more competitive than other wave energy converters. This gives us a large diversity of customers.

	Utilities Many world and local governments are mandating their utilities to produce a larger percentage of their total power from renewable sources. Those mandates will only surely increase.
	Water de-salinization Obtaining fresh water from sea water requires a large amount of electricity. Most of the electricity used in de-salinization plants today comes from fossil fuels. The OWAP is a natural partner in this process.
	Off Grid Locations Isolated islands and ocean villages worldwide will be able to benefit from the OWAP. A single OWAP 300KW unit provides power for 200 U.S. households.
	Hybrid systems Offshore wind or even solar platforms will be able to increase their capacity with the addition an an OWAP device. Using the same transmission lines to deliver their power to land.
