Harnessing currents to generate energy has been a lasting concept. Be it wind currents or water currents, humans have come up with many ideas for its utilization. Paddle wheels, windmills, propellers, and turbines of many designs have been used to this end.Due to the cost, the environmental ramifications and the dwindling resource of fossil fuels, using energy produced by wind and water has become technology that deserves more than a second look.Specifically, this presentation is about energy produced by using tidal currents. |
