Fundamentally, the reasons that make conventional solar, wind and wave energy harnessing technologies irreversibly obsolete "INLAND" and in themselves environmentally polluting, no matter how efficient they may be, is that they remain idle while those energy forms are not present for long periods of time. Another negative aspect is that they occupy precious land space and are generally costly to build and maintain. Consequently, their renewable energy objective turns out to be deceitful and these technologies become in themselves a detriment to the environment and social economic prosperity, when compared to the WASER concept.

As we well know, atomic power plants, coal and ocean oilrigs, have for a long time provided the bulk of our electric power and fuel needs. These dwindling fossil fuel sources have become the lifeblood of our economic expansion however, while living behind a polluted environment and a sense of social insecurity and economic disparity that also threatens peace on earth, as more and more people compete for these essential energy sources.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The WASER ocean space station invention according to a preferred embodiment provides a circular-elliptical reinforced concrete submersible vessel of hurricane storm dwarfing scale as a means to coupe with and to take advantage of t:he high-energy areas in the oceans, with immunity to hurricane force storms and tidal waves. Essentially the ocean space station is a sophisticate immense robot adapted as a multi-function vessel capable of motion in any direction, in which the harnessing of the sun in its three basic forms, day and night, is a primary goal for their conversion into reliable, abundant and inexpensive hydrogen fuel. The remotely computer controlled pivoted airfoil blades provide a sophisticate means of propulsion and to steady the vessel in high winds, ocean currents and to steer away from coral riffs, icebergs and other hazards, assisted if needed by the hydraulic propulsion propellers. A circular elliptical reinforced concrete reciprocating float operates concentrically supported by three sets of track-wheels riding on the surfaces of chromed steel tracks installed on the radial wave intensification walls inner faces and coupled to a plurality of hydraulic piston pumps, which permit to convert the intensified wave energy to electricity and liquefied hydrogen fuel, in large quantities. Three hydrodynamic anchors suspended from the hydraulic motor propeller frames provide a means to help steady the vessel in stormy weather and tidal waves while permitting the ocean space station to roam free and navigate according to inertial, global positioning, radar, sonar and other contemporary technology aids. Photovoltaic panels and skylights to provide alternative solar energy harnessing sources ideally cover the concentric residential building rooftop.
From an operational visionary viewpoint the computer controlled hydraulic systems provides a means to control the reciprocating float operation and extent of stroke within precise specific limits and to stop it at any particular position within the preset stroke stops, by simply restricting the hydraulic oil flow. Another important aspect is that the float's weight and rate of displacement can also be precisely controlled to provide a form of wave frequency feedback control in association with the radial wave intensification walls and main vessel level in the water to synchronize the spontaneous incoming waves energy, into a single wave oscillating within the formed cavity "this theory's potential, needs to be confirmed with either computer analysis or working model simulations". This frequency control hypothesis can potentially be automatically computer controlled and applied by means of hydraulic servo valves with reference to transducer feedback control information. The float and submersible vessel operation is also automatically computer controlled which permits to operate at a particular energy level by controlling the amount of water in the water ballasts. This feature provides another important means of wave synchronization to complement the float frequency control and improve wave energy harnessing efficiency, in very sophisticate ways.
Potentially, the mass production of WASERs will take place in the ocean starting with a polished stainless steel sheet metal rim fold technique that provides a molding process and an imbedded skin to prevent the accumulation of marine life, while keeping friction resistance to a practical minimum and permit a g _ continuous concrete pouring process; while at the time heat pump coils may adapted to the inner metal surface, in the bottom section to provide efficient air conditioning. An electrolytic go=Ld coating on the polished stainless steel surface will likely improve its resistance to corrosion and give the above water-exposed surfaces a look, symbolic of the eventual hydrogen golden age of prosperity. The glass surfaces can also be gold coated in a replica of modern high-rise buildings. From an architectural view point the application of steel and glass to achieve strong light weigh corrosion resistant structure to suit the needs of an ocean space city riding on a vessel with provisions to prevent it from sinking in the event that all it's submersible control systems fail, with provisions to recycle all waist, and with their own water purification and hydrogen fufsl reserves to meet eventual emergencies; these details will be complemented by the expertise and creativity of engineers and architects in a team effort.
Further to the method of WASER mass-production according to a visionary plan, t:he silent hydrogen powered flying robots, in the symbolic replica of "a swarm of wasps building their nest" with reference to a coordinate computer program, laser beams, global positioning, inertial navigation a.nd autopilots; oil tankers converted to supply ships of cement, sand and other building materials and as factory ships for sheet metal forming, airfoil production and the like as necessary, encircling the construction sites in the ocean; with construction supervisors also providing remote control to the flying robots according to hand-held-computer communicators. These immense scale structures can potentially be built without the aid of cranes and in the process, possibly revolutionize the construction industry with record construction times and low cost.
Yet another object is too provide tubular triangular stainless steel robotic booms with refueling facilities for ROBOTIC TRANSPORTERS and submersible hydrogen-delivery robotic shuttles, which are interconnected to the hydrogen production and storages provide within vessel 12, by extending from the wave intensification walls, in a replica of specially adapted hydrogen refueling stations, with the circular-elliptical shuttles being held in position by giant vacuum operated suction cups that extend down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS.1 through 15 thereof, a radially intensified wave energy harnessing vessel configured to form a ocean space station city and a symbolic hydrogen fuel rig, with the acronym WASER by also relating to a wave LASER, in its mode of operation according to the present invention. A ocean space station circular-elliptical submersible reinforced concrete vessel of hurricane storm dwarfing scale, generally shown as 10 is shown floating on water body 11. The submersible main vessel 12 has three radial reinforced concrete wave intensification walls 13 at 120 degrees, with a plurality of reinforced concrete tubular towers 14 for the installation of remotely controlled pivoted airfoil blades 15 and circular residential buildings 16, which are internally interconnected to a main residential circular-elliptical elevated central building generally shown as 17 on the main vessel 12. A reciprocating circular-elliptical reinforced concrete wave energy -harnessing float 18 indexed to the inner surfaces of radial walls 13 by means of three steel track-wheel sets 19 riding on three chrome-plated steel tracks 20 and a plurality of radially disposed hydraulic piston pumps 21 within a semi-circular-elliptical cavity 22 which permits to form an overall circular-elliptical frame, once float 18 is fully in the retracted positior~.
Circular-elliptical submersible vessel 12 has computer controlled airfoil blades 15 and remotely controlled hydraulic motor powered propellers 23 as means of propulsion radially in any direction, individually or in combination as a means to exploit the highest energy areas in the oceans and to steer clear of coral riffs and icebergs, if needed. The airfoil blades 15 ideally, remain aimed to provide a force in the opposite direction of the prevailing waves, as a means to counter their impact and increase their energy. Three large-scale circular-elliptical reinforced concrete hydrodynamic anchors 24 suspended from a bracket in the hydraulic powered propellers 23 frame, by means of strong cables 25, provide stabilization of the WASER in hurricane force stormy oceans and tidal waves, while permitting the vessel to navigate in any direction according to computer control, in the replica of an immense robot according to specific data from communications and input form transducers. Three high-rise lightening arresting towers 26 with communication antennas 27, anemometers 28, warning flashing lights 29, with radar 30, lasers 31 and video cameras 32 provide in addition to inertial navigation 33, sonar 34 and under water video cameras 35 installed in the main vessel 12, and satellite global positioning system 36, communications via the worldwide-web 37, to form an early warning weather scientific ocean space station and provide computer input information for robotic operation and maximum energy harnessing efficiency.
The three horizontal radial circular buildings 16 have a rooftop airport 38 each, for ROBOTIC MOBILE
flying robots, describe according to their respective invention disclosures elsewhere, which provide a means of transportation for passengers and cargo with hydrogen fuel in particular; with access to interior. Ideally "the complementary submersible hydrogen fuel-delivery shuttles" will provide hydrogen fuel depot-supertankers to assist in mineral and ocean farming explorations and to deliver hydrogen fuel along the oceans shorelines, in a replica of the GM hokey pack pellets, on a immense scale and with global positioning accuracy, anywhere within the oceans.
Forward pointing arrows 39 show the wave energy direction being synchronized to lift float 18 in their forward push, while backward arrows 40 indicate a feedback wave synchronization force within the formed cavity by the wave intensification walls 13 and the elliptical shaped vessel frame 12, which can be controlled by adjusting the rate of displacement of float 18, its weigh and the submersible level of vessel 12 and vessel speed by automatic computer control to optimize operation efficiency. Overall, the basic design permits to build immensely powerful systems too take advantage of the highest prevailing waves and possibly track hurricane storms to exploit their highest energy, by taking in consideration their energy levels while planning construction with computer simulations.
FIG. 2 shows the basic one-piece reinforced concrete vessel frame 10 with steel and glass residential, industrial and commercial apartments according to engineers and architects, assisted by a swarm of silent hydrogen powered robots specifically, adapted for the various tasks and possibly individually controlled by personal remote communicators assigned to respective working professional crews; with the goal of achieving mass-production in record time and low costs, while maintaining top construction standards. A cutout in vessel 12 shows a cross section of a sealed airtight ring shaped tubular cavity 42 with many sealed compartments to ensure that the vessel will not sink in the event that all its submersible control systems failed or damage to the vessel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The WASER ocean space station invention according to a preferred embodiment provides a circular-elliptical reinforced concrete submersible vessel of hurricane storm dwarfing scale as a means to coupe with and to take advantage of t:he high-energy areas in the oceans, with immunity to hurricane force storms and tidal waves. Essentially the ocean space station is a sophisticate immense robot adapted as a multi-function vessel capable of motion in any direction, in which the harnessing of the sun in its three basic forms, day and night, is a primary goal for their conversion into reliable, abundant and inexpensive hydrogen fuel. The remotely computer controlled pivoted airfoil blades provide a sophisticate means of propulsion and to steady the vessel in high winds, ocean currents and to steer away from coral riffs, icebergs and other hazards, assisted if needed by the hydraulic propulsion propellers. A circular elliptical reinforced concrete reciprocating float operates concentrically supported by three sets of track-wheels riding on the surfaces of chromed steel tracks installed on the radial wave intensification walls inner faces and coupled to a plurality of hydraulic piston pumps, which permit to convert the intensified wave energy to electricity and liquefied hydrogen fuel, in large quantities. Three hydrodynamic anchors suspended from the hydraulic motor propeller frames provide a means to help steady the vessel in stormy weather and tidal waves while permitting the ocean space station to roam free and navigate according to inertial, global positioning, radar, sonar and other contemporary technology aids. Photovoltaic panels and skylights to provide alternative solar energy harnessing sources ideally cover the concentric residential building rooftop.
From an operational visionary viewpoint the computer controlled hydraulic systems provides a means to control the reciprocating float operation and extent of stroke within precise specific limits and to stop it at any particular position within the preset stroke stops, by simply restricting the hydraulic oil flow. Another important aspect is that the float's weight and rate of displacement can also be precisely controlled to provide a form of wave frequency feedback control in association with the radial wave intensification walls and main vessel level in the water to synchronize the spontaneous incoming waves energy, into a single wave oscillating within the formed cavity "this theory's potential, needs to be confirmed with either computer analysis or working model simulations". This frequency control hypothesis can potentially be automatically computer controlled and applied by means of hydraulic servo valves with reference to transducer feedback control information. The float and submersible vessel operation is also automatically computer controlled which permits to operate at a particular energy level by controlling the amount of water in the water ballasts. This feature provides another important means of wave synchronization to complement the float frequency control and improve wave energy harnessing efficiency, in very sophisticate ways.
Potentially, the mass production of WASERs will take place in the ocean starting with a polished stainless steel sheet metal rim fold technique that provides a molding process and an imbedded skin to prevent the accumulation of marine life, while keeping friction resistance to a practical minimum and permit a g _ continuous concrete pouring process; while at the time heat pump coils may adapted to the inner metal surface, in the bottom section to provide efficient air conditioning. An electrolytic go=Ld coating on the polished stainless steel surface will likely improve its resistance to corrosion and give the above water-exposed surfaces a look, symbolic of the eventual hydrogen golden age of prosperity. The glass surfaces can also be gold coated in a replica of modern high-rise buildings. From an architectural view point the application of steel and glass to achieve strong light weigh corrosion resistant structure to suit the needs of an ocean space city riding on a vessel with provisions to prevent it from sinking in the event that all it's submersible control systems fail, with provisions to recycle all waist, and with their own water purification and hydrogen fufsl reserves to meet eventual emergencies; these details will be complemented by the expertise and creativity of engineers and architects in a team effort.
Further to the method of WASER mass-production according to a visionary plan, t:he silent hydrogen powered flying robots, in the symbolic replica of "a swarm of wasps building their nest" with reference to a coordinate computer program, laser beams, global positioning, inertial navigation a.nd autopilots; oil tankers converted to supply ships of cement, sand and other building materials and as factory ships for sheet metal forming, airfoil production and the like as necessary, encircling the construction sites in the ocean; with construction supervisors also providing remote control to the flying robots according to hand-held-computer communicators. These immense scale structures can potentially be built without the aid of cranes and in the process, possibly revolutionize the construction industry with record construction times and low cost.
Yet another object is too provide tubular triangular stainless steel robotic booms with refueling facilities for ROBOTIC TRANSPORTERS and submersible hydrogen-delivery robotic shuttles, which are interconnected to the hydrogen production and storages provide within vessel 12, by extending from the wave intensification walls, in a replica of specially adapted hydrogen refueling stations, with the circular-elliptical shuttles being held in position by giant vacuum operated suction cups that extend down.
