              CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO 15 U.S.C. 78M(A) OR 78O(D)
                 (SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES OXLEY ACT OF 2002)

I, Michael Hopper, certify that:

1.   I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report  on Form  10-QSB  of Ocean  Power
     Corporation;

2.   Based on my knowledge,  this  quarterly  report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to
     make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  quarterly  report  fairly  present  in all
     material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash
     flows of Ocean Power  Corporation as of, and for, the periods  presented in
     this quarterly report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
     procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
     internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act
     Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for Ocean Power Corporation and have:

     a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused  such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision,
         to ensure that  material  information  relating  to the small  business
         issuer,  including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made  known by
         others within those entities,  particularly  during the period in which
         this report is being prepared;

     b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
         internal  control over  financial  reporting  to be designed  under our
         supervision,  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
         of financial reporting and the preparation of financial  statements for
         external  purposes in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
         principles;

     c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business  issuer's  disclosure
         controls and  procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
         about the effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as
         of the  end of  the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
         evaluation; and

     d)  Disclosed  in this  report any changes in the small  business  issuer's
         internal  control over  financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
         small business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
         affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to  materially  affect,  the small
         business issuer's control over financial reporting; and

5.   I have disclosed,  based on my most recent  evaluation of internal  control
     over financial  reporting,  to Ocean Power  Corporation's  auditors and the
     audit committee of Ocean Power Corporation's board of directors (or persons
     performing the equivalent functions):

     a)  all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or  operation of internal
         controls  over  financial  reporting  which  are  reasonably  likely to
         adversely affect Ocean Power Corporation's ability to record,  process,
         summarize and report financial information; and

     b)  any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or other
         employees  who have a  significant  role in Ocean  Power  Corporation's
         internal controls over financial reporting.
