The Seaflow Marine Current Turbine project off the coast of Lynmouth North Devon England UK
The Seaflow Marine Current Tubine project off the coast of Lynmouth North Devon England The tidal current turns the turbine blades at 17 revolutions per minute The rotor blades which are made from carbon fibre reinforced composite materials are connected to a generator via a gearbox thus creating electricity The slow revolution of the rotor blades is safe to marine life These current turbines can be installed in the sea at place with high tidal current velocities such as experienced off the North Devon Coast Such tidal changes are more predictable than variations in windspeed of other weather systems Tidal turbine design and development Water current energy Hydro Power Reliable source of ocean energy Tidal resource studies Undersea windmills pollutionless transmission climate change natural forces business partnerships alternative energy clean low maintenance
