                 (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.
