it's sort of like kitesurfing, but underwater. so we tether it off to the sea floor, foundation on the sea floor, and then it flies in a figure of eight. as underwater currents flow by, the kite's wings generate a hydrodynamic lift force, spinning the turbine and generating electricity. this design�*s very different to other types of tidal technology. so what's the advantage of a design like this one? we can install and operate and produce power in low flow currents with lightweight machines. although it looks big to the eye, this is actually a very small tidal turbine. we've designed the system as such to be maintenance friendly — you simplyjust tow them in, replace modules and then put them back in. we've also, over the years, removed more and more components from the system and fit them onshore instead. the less old components you have that could become damaged, it's easier to access it and it's much cheaper also.
