Power your Tesla with ocean energy by Tidal Sails

[tidalsails]

Hi, arriving San Francisco on 11. Feb to present Tidal Sails in Silicon Valley at the Venture Summit West. By combining alpine ropeway technology with ocean sailing, clean electricity can be produced from slow moving tidal and ocean currents at a very low cost primarily due to the huge exposed area in the energy stream, high efficiency and low weight. Tidal Sails is as game changing to ocean energy as Tesla is in the automotive industry. Interested in taking a part to enable fueling the Tesla with clean electricity from the ocean, please get in touch!

Haven't seen anything like this before. Interesting approach. I did look through your presentation online. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but your slides show a yield of 1kW per sq meter for a 3 knot current. In your demo with the large yellow device, it looks like you have about 35 sq meters of area but got 20 kW in what looks like a current that is faster than 3 knots. Seems like greater than 35 kW should have been seen in this demo. No?

Very cool idea. Could this concept be adapted in a more linear form for river stream flows? With the ecologic impacts of hydroelectric dams making them undesirable. This seems like potentially a lower impact solution with the continuous power output potential of hydro power. It really seems like something ideally suited to the US Pacific North West.
