Japan’s IHI has completed a long term test of its renewable energy prototype designed to generate electricity from ocean currents.Japan today can generate about 205 gigawatts of electricity.
Kairyu was designed to hover about 50 meters below the waves, where each of the blades rotates in opposing directions, which helps stabilize the device. In a flow of two to four knots , Kairyu was found to be capable of churning out a total of 100 kilowatts of power. Attempts to generate electricity from tides, waves, and ocean currents have mostly ended in failure. Recently I attended a talk by an oceanographic engineer who has been working on ocean energy for three decades and seems no closer to accomplishing his goal at any meaningful scale than he was when he started. And yet the dream remains.
