Simple system for the energy use of tides

A British company has invented a system that takes advantage of the power of tides.

It is said that the installation is simple and when running under water the environmental impact is reduced.

It is based on two turbines anchored to the bottom through chains that move according to the sense of the current and that could produce a megawatt of electricity thanks to the rotation of their wings of fifteen meters of length.

This new system will be launched next year at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, Great Britain.
