The Ocean Energy Rig is a hybrid concept harnessing tidal stream (with increased velocity from a venturi system), wave and wind power. The rig also uses solar panels to power computers and warning lights. Other unique features include a water ballasting system with automatic self levelling and wave ramps to maximize FreeFlow 69's new wave power device. It is envisaged that the Ocean Energy Rig would be assembled and maintained in dry docks and would be towed out into position before being semi-submerged and anchored for operation. Power output of the production model would be at least 10MW

The O.H.E.G. plant is a revolutionary concept, using tidal energy, designed by FreeFlow69. The plant uses tidal energy to create electricity 24 hours a day, making this a unique project. This power is produced by using both the kinetic energy in tidal flow and the potential energy created by tidal height changes.

The image above shows the Osprey Prototype Turbine test rig, a 30ft aluminium catamaran manufactured by Able Engineering. Initial trials have now been conducted, which produced very positive results.
