Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬28-ton, 1.2-megawatt #tidal #kite is now exporting power to the grid
#Minesto, a marine energy tech developer based in Sweden, has deployed their new #Dragon12 #tidalenergy harvester to the #FaroeIslands. Operating like an underwater kite, the Dragon 12 "uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting #renewableenergy," reports New Atlas.

28-ton, 1.2-megawatt tidal kite is now exporting power to the grid
Minesto's fully operational Dragon 12 looks like some sort of futuristic military drone – but it behaves remarkably like a kite underwater. It uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting renewable energy.
