Rocking the Boat

Having the natural waves of the ocean of flow of the current can be used to create an energy source. This states that they have used said technology, although before it wasn’t used for energy of human consumption, they were used for the creation of more essential things such as flour for bread. This type of energy creation systems is more common in dams, by doing that they can create an artificial energy source from the new manmade current.

I think it’s amazing that they took the original designs were just the mind turbine and the classic lumberyard wheel that turns when the current pushes it, they were used for other purposes. Over the past 100 years they have applied the turbine/ propeller to the insides of dams, to make them more efficient.  When I first heard that you can create power from a dam, by allowing the flowing currents to run through the propeller to turn the turbine and create energy, it sound a lot like this a reliable energy type that could be applied to almost any major closed off water way and even possible the ocean.
