COASTAL FACTOIDS

New Type of Tidal Power Generator

"The Deep Green concept make use of hydrodynamics... the kite lifts by the force of the tidal current. The kite is mounted to the ocean bed and is controlled by a rudder. The kite can then be taken in a desired trajectory. The method will increase the flow speed entering the turbine 10 times." - excerpt from this ekopolitan.com article.

The Coastal Factoid is usually updated each weekday.
