this video is awesome and the information comes in handy but i have one other question... What is the safety in operating the turbines or barrages?.... I am doing a project and I cannot find that information anywhere, so if you do have info on that then please please please replay back on this comment! Thanks! :)

Wouldn't pumping warm surface water to the depths take as much energy as you could get from neutralizing it?

[@CamilleFontanez]

Should've taken into consideration of the design the wildlife preservation (using nets and similar access-restraining hardware.

[@fridaybot]

Since the density of water is so much greater than air the blades will not have the same high rpm. Also the "wings" är shorter and designed shorter which will allow the tip speed of the blade/wing to be acceptable for marin life.

A previous comment had asked "How do you plan to keep from chopping up fish and plant life with the gen blades?" The Director of the Center for Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology talks to NPR about that very concern. You can listen using the link below, if you replace the (dot) with (.) KZbin won't let me include the live link. Eflorida(dot)com/innovationcenter(dot)aspx?id=6704

Business plan?

[@arcart0]

Probably they should be investigating new ways to save energy before they spend vast amounts of money. A case in point is that in 2005 the Government, Market Transformation Program had tests made on a new type of cleaner that employs Air Recycling Technology. The results show that it could save 1.5 Terawatt (1,500 Gigawatt) each year in the UK alone. Simply by changing the type of cleaner we use in our homes. It was originally designed to remove health hazards inherent in the vacuum cleaner.

nikola tesla talked of this 100 yrs ago! look up "increaseing human energy"by nikola tesla! he talks of all of the renewable energy sources and also his wireless energy transfer system which would give wireless power to everyone on the earth! i even did a 20 ft wireless energy transfer which is key to showing how his system works!

[@tsport100]

Now all you have to do is BUILD IT and prove your theory!

[@USGeorgePatton]

Yeah with this technology i see Florida in the dark for years after a hurricane..

[@KrazyTea8]

Looks good, but just a piece of advice the narration of the video comes off as really unprofessional. Not sure who you guys are, or if you serious or not, but if you are get this done up proper. People are watching this, and it's a representation of who you are.

[@seanotube85]

@boxa888 That's cool! They should use that to beam energy down to earth from space solar panels!

[@11889music]

Won't this totally fuck up a LOT of habitat for sea life???

[@jmvneto51]

Those impellers dont seem appropriated for underwater use. By design they create unnecessary drag and strain. I think a better design would use a much longer impeller hub with the blades having a long base. Complete the opposite of what we see now. Now we see a long blade with a small base hooked up to a small hub. I was imagining something more like a corkscrew type blade. It could even be encased in a cylinder which would create more directional stability and protection for marine life.

thats tight thats tight

[@Ghecko24]

is that a pyramid on land?

[@jmvneto51]

Some ideas just stay in the papers for ages! Ask DaVinci :)

[@zelda2geek]

ya but as if a fish is that dumb maybe a gold fish because they have a memory of 3.17 seconds but not other fish

[@naeemurrahman8767]

why not nuclear????why to invest so much on these kind of methods, when we have technology of nuclear????

[@svengroener6005]

You know what tschernobyl is?

[@naeemurrahman8767]

Sir human race is going for the Fusion right now......Lockheed Martin.. It is safe, there are hundreds of safety levels now a days..... What i think we should go for NUCLEAR... rather than investing so much on them.....

[@svengroener6005]

Naeem ur rahman And what to do with the nuclear waste?

[@naeemurrahman8767]

its too small yar ..... can be dump in the deserts or far flung places by proper shielding so that the place remain safe from radiations.. ... am pretty sure it will never gona blast and affect the people around the globe

[@svengroener6005]

Naeem ur rahman It was ironic?!?

[@eastbaysf]

Lets pay the scientists instead of the CEOs,,, FIRST

[@agus2001]

I don't see it happening. Not with a republican governor...

[@Scholes1987]

nuclear helium 3 is the answer fusion.

[@lcabosa]

dont polute the ocean with junk, please if you want to put something there respect the sea and the creatures that live there if not is just the same industrial era thinking, we can take without puting back.

[@lcabosa]

is like praying,repeat over and over again , and when milions or bilions of people start doing the same it will be real.

[@Veilside1000HP]

Don't worry, politics will kill it because they are being lobbied by big oil and energy. If something like this are built big oil will own it too because they are the ones with tons of dirty oil money in their pockets to invest in things like this. So it is monopoly by big oils forever and politicians get rich off investing in their stock and also get a lot of campaign contributions from them.

[@thoostorm4]

@EnterpriseFlorida b p already killed them
