The tubes will translate the power of the tide as it ebbs and flows into one megawatt of electricity, enough to power about 500 homes. The project will be a test run for much larger rigs, with up to 50 turbines apiece, that could produce enough electricity for a small...
...that is working with Ayre, thinks tidal stream power has a big future. "Twice a day the North Sea drains in and out of the Pentland Firth," he says. "We estimate that using tidal stream generators we could meet all of the renewable energy needs of the U.K." The Severn Estuary was chosen to test the new technology because it has the world's highest range between high and low tides, around 12 m, and during the Severn Bore, at the times of the spring and autumn equinoxes, tides of up to 15.4 m rush at 24 km/h...
