This Invention May Change the World of Renewable Energy [Part 2]

Even if the Earth runs out of oil and gas, and a dense veil of smog plunges the world into darkness, we will still have electricity to charge smartphones and film the beginning of the end! There is at least one invention that could change the world of inexhaustible energy sources. Floating Turbines that use the energy of flowing tides - have you heard of this?! Meanwhile, the first of such plant has already started generating electricity off the coast of Scotland. And so far, in the event of the apocalypse, the Scots have one less cause for concern. There is a common misconception that the Sun is the only source of renewable energy. But why does everyone forget about the colossal impact that the Moon has on the Earth? The daily ebb and flow are its handiwork so to speak. Imagine what a powerful movement of water masses is formed under the action of tidal force in sea straits, around capes, and at the mouths of rivers flowing into the ocean. These are the places that become ideal locations for installing tidal turbines that convert colossal kinetic energy into electric current.

On the upper East Side Of Manhattan New York there have been two turbines using tidal flow to power a small area in close proximity of the turbines. At least ten years

[davidgibbons]

Interesting, however If the amount of electricity it generates was stated - it would've been impressive

[Thegobstopper]

It is, and has been for years, utterly ridiculous that wind farms in the north of Scotland are charged three times the amount levied on their counterparts in southern England for a connection to the electricity grid. Scotland also charged ridiculous rates by the the based Ofgem.Scotland charged over £7.00 per unit to resupply the grid yet southeast England is less than 50pence. Scotland was robbed of oil money and now being robbed for our renewable energy.

I'm open minded on Global warming, but regardless, any sane person should want to cut down pollution, this is one of the best projects I've seen yet!

[jimboniface]

Actually another source is right beneath your feet. Geo thermal. Drill down deep enough and you have enormous heat that will never run out. Add water, add steam turbines. Every Island, country continent is sitting on and endless supply. And you don't have to crowd the oceans with these things or dot the landscape with wind turbines

[stephenhaywood]

This has got to be the way to go renewables wise. Old corn miles on the coast used tide pools to drive there machinery centuries ago. Tide comes in and goes out twice a day EVERY day, rain or shine. Hope this really takes off. Wind and solar won’t provide enough for future needs, no way .

[rogerjamespaul]

In the right location, I imagine this method circumvents the concern over downtime.

[tuberroot]

Shame a report on an engineering project can't give the most basic figures: the energy produced per year. I don't want to hear about how many "homes" it can do or tons of "carbon" which have no defined meaning, I want SCIENTIFIC UNITS, you know MW or MW.h/year. It's probably rather puny so that's why they don't want to say. This is typical bureaucrat PR blurb totally unscientific.

Orbital2 มันทำงานได้ไหม ผลิตไฟได้คุ้มค่าหรือเปล่า?

[jeffg]

I would like to know if this project is going to leak oil like all these windmills do after the maintenance is neglected ?!
Also, what is the life span and maintenance difficulties being in the middle of a high speed waterway !

HOPING WE ABLE TO ADOPT THIS IN THE PHILIPPINES THRU PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT

[randomoverpopulatedworldid]

Another new beautiful clean energy source. Lets' hurry and invest in these new energies so we can maybe go back to normal in a few hundred years??

[mlight]

Do these stations have the capability of moving to the sea floor during storm events?

[jsmariani]

Tidal energy has a long way to go become the major player in the renewable energy market.

[thebobloblawshow]

Brilliant idea. This makes solar and wind power look like a joke. I say this because both those industries have huge costs, bi products and recycling costs. It’s not a clean industry at all.This looks like it is.

[tuberroot]

Peak energy four times a day on sliding time scale, drifting daily throughout the month. Irregular but at least predictable. No mention of the actual power produced but it's not much. "2000 homes" means what? How many MW ?? Peak output or 24h averaged? No mention of estimated cost per unit. When a PR pitch adopts total obscurity, it tells you it's massively expensive and not practicable.

[Olivergsr]

I'd love to believe this but the cost/benefit ratio just isn't there. The fact that the UK Government has invested makes me even more nervous - couldn't they convince enough VCs to risk their own money?

[pnunezaguila]

The cost of building enough tidal generators to suply the UK would be over 3 trillion euros....

[jimparsons]

Not to be the obvious fly in this ointment, but steel, which had to be smelted. Coal then. Not to mention barnacles, that probably have to be scraped off at some point. I think that some Japanese folks tried something like this maybe ten years back? Made out of fiberglass was their version. It was a small pilot project. So this later version still might have barnacles, though. I'm not sure that CO2 is produced when fiberglass as with steel.

[terrystephens]

Another significant step forward in harnessing green energy 😃👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
