An off-shore demonstration with game-changing implications for the future of perpetual clean energy, conducted from May 25 through 28 by OceanBased Perpetual Energy, LLC in collaboration with the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), has demonstrated that clean, renewable perpetual energy can be derived by harnessing the perpetual Gulf Stream current off the coast of South Florida.
Key Points:
- An off-shore demonstration with game-changing implications for the future of perpetual clean energy, conducted from May 25 through 28 by OceanBased Perpetual Energy, LLC in collaboration with the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), has demonstrated that clean, renewable perpetual energy can be derived by harnessing the perpetual Gulf Stream current off the coast of South Florida.

While various hydrokinetic projects worldwide focus on tidal or wave-based sources, the successful OceanBased demonstration is the first ever to yield energy from the powerful Gulf Stream for a continuous 24 hours using only the waters perpetual flow. - The findings bode well for future development of commercial applications to harness and distribute the Gulf Streams energy in Florida.
- This historic demonstration shows the world that the Gulf Stream can produce clean, renewable perpetual power on a 24-hour-a-day basis using a variety of turbine concepts, said OceanBased Chairman Nasser Alshemaimry .
