I was hoping for some sort of diagram or animation about what this thing is set up and does underwater and how this movement gets converted to electricity. Does anybody know?
The turbine (propeller) at the back of the kite rotates and generates electricity.
Since this can 'fly' at an angle to the current, the speed of the 'kite' moving through the water, will be faster than the movement of the water - therefore the turbine can be spun faster than if it were just anchored in one spot.
