yes I'd like to know more details. This video shows a bit more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hN3dBpPu8Q Bi-drectional? Looks like those adjusting flaps are to make it bi-directional yes, but maybe the angled legs mean it has a preferred flow direction (I'm guessing). How power is transmitted back to shore? The video seems to show, in red, some good old "big fat cable" technology. It's described only as powering the Orkney Islands. I wonder if surplus energy there can be fed back to the mainland grid. How it's anchored in place? Two massive mooring cables front and back. The main central cylinder floats, with the legs and rotors dipping down into the water (Maybe obvious, but not to me at first) |
