EXHIBIT 31.01

              Certification Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 78M(A) or 780(D)
                 (Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)

I, Michael Hopper, certify that:

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

2.    Based on my knowledge,  this 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
      report;

3.    Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other  financial
      information  included  in this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
      respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
      the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this 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  control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:

      a)    Designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
            disclosure   controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
            supervision,  to ensure that  material  information  relating to the
            small business issuer, including its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is
            made  known to us 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 change in the small  business  issuer's
            internal  control over financial  reporting that occurred during the
            small  business  issuer's  most  recent  fiscal  quarter  (the small
            business  issuer's  fourth  fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual
            report) that has  materially  affected,  or is reasonably  likely to
            materially affect, the small business issuer's internal control over
            financial reporting; and

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

      a)    All significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design
            or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
            reasonably  likely to adversely  affect the small business  issuer'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 the small  business
            issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
