On our minds

Dependency on foreign oil Global warming High unemployment

Barack Obama’s $15,000,000,000 per year for clean, renewable energy

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Rising Energy Consumption

We need: More energy Less carbon

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Renewable Sources

Solar – Good, but where to put the panels Wind – Good, but turbines look ugly Geothermal – Good, but not around here Tidal – Good, but we don’t have much Offshore Wind – Very Good, but expensive Wave – Perfect

We need all of the above.

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

New forms of energy are required

It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean’s untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world.

Waves are a concentrated form of solar energy

Big Waves

Come and Get it

Terawatts of power being wasted Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) or International waters (no permits

needed) Reducing wave heights has

ZERO ecological impact ZERO human impact

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

But How

So far away Freezing temperatures Brutal environment Mean wind speed 10 m/sec (22 mph) Top 1% 22 m/sec (50 mph) Huge waves (24m every 100 years)

Design Goals

Capture wave energy 100% human and eco friendly Maintainability Reliability (minimize maintenance) Safety (24m swells and 60mph

winds) Low cost

The answer: air filled bladders

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Add two valves andyou have an air pump

Rising Wave

air is squeezed

out by the water pressure

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Wave Crest

all air is expelled

at the crest of

big waves

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Falling Wave

nothing happens

until

Bladder Inflates

water level drops

below the head

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Each bladder has its own phase

Need a Pier-like Backbone

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

A “Section” is basically a dock

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

150m long - 142 modules

Section House

Air turbines, generators,hydrogen generators, pumps, …

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

A “Station” or Power Station

Stations are made up of 1 or more sections(Section can be connected end to end)

A station will grow until it is a navigational hazard (maybe a mile long)

Stations are unmanned except when the hydrogen is being picked up

Stations are anchored to the ocean floor or they have slowly turning props

Power Assuming 3m swell, 10 seconds apart Pressure differential 9400Pa (1.5psi) Flow 4.5 m3/min (160cfm) 710 watts (3/4 of hp) per bag Each bladder can power a small house Operates at full rating 60% of the time 1.2 megawatt per section 20 sections would produce 24 megawatts

or 79 gigawatt hours per year

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Cost of Construction

First Section – $5 million Hundredth Section - $3 million Cost of Construction $2.50-4.00 per

watt A 25 megawatts station ~ $100m After 20 sections, the station pays for

its own growth At $4.00/kg for hydrogen, a station

makes $17 million per year

Deep Wave Energy, Inc. Confidential

Deep Wave Energy’s Plan

Small Feasibility Study (EISG) Wave Tank Experiments – done by D.W.E. Bladder/Wave Interaction – by UCSD and

SIO Ocean Platform – by an engineering firm Economic Analysis – by manufacturer

Large Feasibility Study Prototype

Venture Capital and/or Partnership
