However, given the different density and velocity of the resource (water vs. air) it&#8217;s curious that there aren&#8217;t more water specific designs. For instance, you might expect the most efficient rotors to mimic the screws seen on ships vs. propellers seen on airplanes. Perhaps one of our readers could offer an explanation for the design center choices around sea harvest rotor design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine Current Turbines has today confirmed that installation of its SeaGen commercial tidal energy system will commence during the week of August 20th in Northern Ireland\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Strangford Lough.
