Ocean currents can power the world - The Telegraph

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.  Imagine if most of the vehicles in the world were electric, which they could already be if it was not for selfish, greedy crooks, and we have all the electricity in the world generated by either the ocean, wind or solar.

Ocean currents can power the world, say scientists - Telegraph

The technology can generate electricity in water flowing at a rate of less than one knot - about one mile an hour - meaning it could operate on most waterways and sea beds around the globe.

Existing technologies which use water power, relying on the action of waves, tides or faster currents created by dams, are far more limited in where they can be used, and also cause greater obstructions when they are built in rivers or the sea. Turbines and water mills need an average current of five or six knots to operate efficiently, while most of the earth’s currents are slower than three knots.

The new device, which has been inspired by the way fish swim, consists of a system of cylinders positioned horizontal to the water flow and attached to springs.
