Voith has some very cool concepts and products, though I wonder what the payoff is after maintenance. Having served in the Navy as a diver for 24 years I can tell you that salt water, even salt air, is not friendly to anything, especially mechanical.
yeah that's what I was worried about lol when it said "lubricated by sea water" I instantly imagined the kinds of super small ocean life that could "assist in the turbine's operation"
I assume you mean oxidation through the salty water or to put it simple rust which could destroy the metal parts? If yes, then you are in the wrong. Oxidation needs oxygen to form rust which harms the materials. In this case the turbine is completly surrounded by water, therefore there is no oxygen and no rust. One good example is Venecia, its a city in Italy where most of the houses are standing in the water on wooden beams, thoses wooden beams dont get rotten as you would assume. Although I think the lifespan of the materials is shorter then in normal use cases.
@@thebobbysisters The effects can be mitigated, though eventually salt water wins. I have witnessed it my whole adult life, as I have lived around salt water for 40 years. I would be curious to know what materials they use. That would make the biggest difference.

I don't think this safe for the sea life. The idea is very cool, but the whole structure should be protected by a cage that allows water flow but prevents large fish and sea mammals to get too close to the turbines
Well, like Jezrell said it does need maintenance, but relatively we would be doing much less harm than making the Earth 2 degrees warmer. And also it's still in development and i'm sure their not done working on the idea.
Strange that he says sea water does the lubricating, and therefore no seals are needed. But of course sea water is an electrical conductor, so the inner workings will need seals of some sort.
This part seems a bit dubious. They state that each device is 1MHw. They state that 400 TWh/year can be collected with these devices. If true, if my math serves, that's 400 million devices. They would be all over the planet, and not all offshore areas, such as a lot of the US Pacific coast, are suitable. Even if these devices are 10 times bigger (a decade after this video was produced), that would still be 40 million turbines. Please comment if you have knowledge here. I'm looking to learn. Thanks.
For innovation of this propposed power plant; 1) The sea current must be boosted first from multiple source then house in one solid channel wherein the step up sea current is now the one will drive the turbine of huge power plant . The power plant of course house inside the huge channel wherein step sea current is produced. This will totally protect the power plant itself because it is contained solidly but the saltwater damage(rust) must be addressed. Moreover, scientists obviously and no doubt can solve this saltwater issue(rust) , materials that negate rust or similar issues undersaltwater. Finally, the huge obstacle is "Political Will"
This appears great. The challenge is that humans are selfish and static. We can harness the infinite potential of all forms of energy through automation to free up labor for innovation and research. That is only possible if those who own what has been automated learn to share their capital i.e. they should either fund the innovation or pay taxes for welfare of everyone.
They have an installed Capacity of 1 MW? 1 onshore wind turbine has an installed capacity of 2.5 - 3 MW, and offshore one has 3.6MW. Moreover wind turbines not that huge, so it's much cheaper to produce. How are those turbines worth it?
i am sure that desalination plants could use tidal turbines to off set the massive cost of power needed to operate, and if designed properly, the repair harbor could even be added to the foot print of the plant itself. just how many turbines and the logistics of it all would depend on the plant itself, but it seems like something to look into. beyond the costs of the initial investment, and the constant maintnence of the system, i would hope at some point the fossil fuel way of power production would balance closer so the idea would be viable, just a thought...
There are complaints about wind turbines killing a lot of birds. What would keep these spinning blades under the ocean's surface from killing sea life? Or at the least disrupting patterns in sea life such as feeding and breeding?
The turbine shape looks highly counterintuitive as the surfaces of the plates are not inclined at all.They shoud be inclined in order the water to hit the surface and thus to rotate it!
any damage to marine life would be extremely minimal, the problem is the intermittent nature of tidal power, similar to solar. Large batteries would likely be required in this system.
The world’s first community-owned tidal turbine will be made and deployed in Scotland, after a fabrication contract between Scottish firms Steel Engineering and Nova Innovation was announced today by First Minister Alex Salmond.
how much will this affect marine life, current patterns, of sea inviorment? that would be one downfall but this sounds insanely awesomely helping us save energy
My concern as well. Cetaceans rely on sound waves for navigation, etc. A squeaky rotor could cause confusion anxiety. Will whales have to learn to avoid these blades by the deaths and suffering of their kin? A knick in the conduit would electrify the area? Many people think the ocean floor is barren but it is not. I don't know, we humans plow ahead in the name of 'progress' and learn by experience at other lives expense, all of which is justified by anthropocentric views. Governments will learn to tax this technology too.
400 Terawatt hours = 4 * 10^11 kilowatt hours 1 kilowatt costs 0.11 dollars normally. 4 * 10^11 * 0.11 = 10^9 dollars Can someone check my math? I think the video said incorrectly how much this turbine makes at timestamp 0:45. I think they meant to say megawatt hours.
"According to expert opinion approximately 400 Terawatt hours per year can be won in this way from the seas of the world." - It is meant from the tidal energy of the world and NOT from this turbine.
@ragingtorpedos Not at all, since basically most of South America and Africa haven't yet been exploited for their natural gas and crude oil. Your facts are from conventional sources, that's why you're saying what you are. There's more than enough oil, they just like the prices high, and would like to see them go higher.

This is to severe disruption to the marine life. Rather using this system , we have many other alternatives like, hydal by effective storage of water by improving irrigationa systems and wind energy on the land
