Guest Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Energy companies in Scotland and Wales are seeing the potential from underwater turbines which tap a constant and predictable source of energy, are invisible and can produce as much electricity as a conventional wind turbine. The exciting future of wind energy If a test project in the fast flowing marine waters of Pentland Firth in the far north of Scotland goes well, submerged turbines could eventually power as many as 400,000 Scottish homes, according to the Scottish-government backed scheme. Predictable flow Sea water is 832 times denser than air, which means the turbines can be smaller while producing a similar amount of energy to a wind turbine. The force of these tides also means the turbines can be placed closer together, taking up less space on the sea bed than an equivalent wind farm on land. Apart from being invisible -- obviating a factor that has stalled many wind farm projects on land -- the marine turbines have the great advantage of tapping an energy source that does not rely on the weather. Other renewables such as wind, wave, solar and even hydroelectricity depend in large part on seasonal and climatic features, tidal turbines, meanwhile, get two regular tide changes a day. "We can forecast over the next 100 years pretty accurately -- we know when the power's coming," he said.

donganaaK Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 looks cool ... but problem entante itlaanti technology will be very costly to install and maintain .... anduke usually pedha click avvav .... even the normal wind turbines is really expensive in the first place ,
