It is impossible to use appropriate "run-of-stream" turbines to capture tidal energy
What will be an ideal response?
There are relatively inexpensive models sold by Chinese companies. Also, new
technologies such as the Davis and Gorlov turbines, hold promise of more efficient but
inexpensive run-of-the-stream devices.
