Report Of The Second Wave Energy Seminar 1984

Abstract

The 1984 Wave Energy Seminar was held as a meeting place for practitioners in wave energy research d an development. A strong feeling had emerged from the 1983 wave Energy Seminar that a greater emphasis should be placed on techn1.·cal d' · 1.scuss1.on since this was one of the few forums available exclusively devoted to wave energy. Most of the day was taken up by presentations by each of the teams actively involved in wave energy R & D, and presentations were also made by colleagues from Norway and Eire. A wide ranging discussion on the political context and future developments in wave energy rounded off the day, but since this discuss1.· on was "off the record", only the most general of outlines is included here. I would like to take the opportunity on behalf of all participants, to thank Mike Flood and the Alternative Technology Group at the Open University for organising what proved to be a most useful seminar.
