But the dream has always been to tap the power of the ocean itself - to harness the force of tides mighty enough to erode and shift entire coastlines. And so later this year...

Where a wind turbine may be up to 80 m in diameter, a tidal stream turbine need be only 10 m across to produce 50% more energy. Though the blades turn slowly, just 10 revolutions per minute, the rotation generates a great deal of torque - a force that causes an object to rotate. That is then turned into energy via a hydraulic accumulator, which condenses the power into a motor that drives...
