Now what is so unique about this new tidal generator? Most current tidal stream generators are essentially wind turbines turned upside down and made to work underwater. They often include complex ...

Presenting the Future Even though tide power has existed for quite some time, the technology behind tidal-stream generators is still relatively young. Recently a number of designs have been ...

The UK government has gave permission for a prototype tidal stream generator which could power 70 000 homes.

Most current tidal stream generators are essentially wind turbines turned upside down and made to work underwater. They often include complex gearboxes and move the entire assembly to face the ...

SKF, a global engineering company, says its systems at the MeyGen tidal stream array have now run continuously for over six years without unplanned maintenance. According to the company, this is a ...

The first tidal generator is being tested off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. When fully operational, it could generate enough energy for 10,000 homes.

If tidal stream power is going to contribute to the country’s future electricity needs, turbine installations must be ramped up soon. A 1.5 megawatt tidal turbine prior to installation in Scotland.
