Tidal Energy device being developed in the UK. This video shows a tenth scale version of the device, which has been operating in Strangford Lough for the past year (June 2008 to July 2009).
The device is being designed to work in 60 meters water depth and in the fastest flow speeds, where the potential energy capture is greatest. However, as shown in this video, it is scalable to different depths and speeds.
Ocean Flow Energy Ltd were awarded a Shell Springboard Award (for the North of England and Scotland) in 2009.

Acting In Time On Energy Policy
Written by admin on February 6, 2009 – 7:36 pm -
On September 18-19, 2008, the Belfer Center’s Energy Technology Innovation Policy (ETIP) research group convened leaders from academia, research centers, government, business, and non-governmental organizations for a major conference on U.S. energy policy, titled Acting in Time on Energy Policy. The conference was co-sponsored by the Consortium for Energy Policy Research at Harvard and the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Conference attendees discussed future energy policy directions in six main areas: global climate change, carbon capture and storage technology, oil and transportation, energy technology innovation, electricity, and leadership.
This seven-minute video captures the essence of the event and highlights recommendations given by participants during each of the six panels. A book, also titled Acting in Time on Energy Policy, edited by Kelly Sims Gallagher, Director of ETIP, and to be published by Brookings Institution Press this spring, will offer readers a comprehensive summary of the conference and versions of the presented papers. More information about the book can be found on the Brookings Institution Press website at: http://www.brookings.edu/press/Books/2009/actingintimeonenergypolicy.aspx
