***************************************************

A horizontal arm is lowered into the ocean current.
Turbines are installed on the ends of the arm.
Specially-shaped turbine blades rotate in the current.
The rotor is connected directly to a generator that generates current.
The arm with the turbines can be raised to the surface for maintenance purpose.
Power plants in places with a strong and constant current have the best utilization.
