Video: Unique Approach To Hydrokinetics
Here’s a video in which I speak to a unique approach and capability to hydrokinetics that applies in particular to large, predictable ocean currents like the Gulf Stream and the Mozambique Current off the coast of Eastern Africa. As I …
Hydrokinetics: Short Introductory Video
In our continuing series of videos, whose purpose is to introduce newcomers to the subject of renewable energy, I offer this short piece on hydrokinetics, featuring a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the idea of extracting energy from …

Ocean Current Energy Holds Potential
Ocean current energy, a form of hydrokinetics, is one of the often-overlooked flavors of renewables, one that holds a great deal of potential. Low hanging fruit here, it appears, are the large and predictable currents that flow with very little …

Unique Approach to High Head Hydrokinetics — Investors Needed
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmI-Y8EGQnc] Here’s a short video in which I discuss a unique approach that applies nicely to hydrokinetics in high head conditions, e.g., waterfalls or steep rapids. Does this scale to the point that it can replace terawatts of fossil …

Cyclo Ocean — Clever Start-up in Ocean-Current Hydrokinetics
I just got off the phone with Paul Greyschock, from hydrokinetics start-up Cyclo Ocean in Vero Beach, FL. There were a couple of items that made this conversation noteworthy. First is the technology itself. If you check out the website, …

Cool Idea in Run-of-River Hydrokinetics
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmoVgU93Z44&w=420&h=315] In this interview, I discuss a radical new approach to run-of-river hydrokinetics where the water is falling far over a short distance, e.g., a waterfall. The company’s solution is extremely straightforward and would be easy for a wily …
Hydrokinetics Has Great Potential to Provide Clean Energy
Hydrokinetics is quite an appealing subject; here’s why: huge masses of water are moving all around us more or less constantly, in our ocean tides and other predictable currents, as well as in our large rivers — and rightfully, these …
