              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.
