Turbines Under Water: Meet Renewable Devices Marine

Renewable Devices Marine Ltd will deliver the world’s lowest cost and most environmentally sensitive marine energy - Capricorn Marine Turbine.

It is a tidal stream turbine intended to deliver an unrivaled combination of innovation and reliability.

Tidal energy is one of the energy sources with great potential. It is a reliable resource which can provide great amounts of power. The possibilities of tidal streams are not yet fully explored and utilized.

Tidal energy depends only on the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon to larger extent and the sun with less influence due to smaller force.

The amount of power produced due to tidal streams varies and is greater with higher velocities.

The only challenges regarding this technology are manufacture and maintenance costs. Capicorn Turbines Reduce have lower cost of manufacture and longer flifespan, compared to other similar turbines.

The Capricorn 125 is capable of generating 1.25 MW.

Capricorn Marine Turbines are designed to use this tidal energy to produce power.
Capicorn is a 50 kW and Capiccorn 1.25 MW turbine.

They are extremely cost-effective, reliable and environmentally friendly as they do not increase the carbon and water footprint while producing energy.

They are unique because they have a horizontal axis and each rotor has three blades, designed to be bi- directional in operation.

Moreover, they make lower frequencies than those which would bother marine creatures so their navigation is not influenced in any way.

Estimated available energy resources from tidal energy are 250 TWh per year, which is around 1/17 of the total consumption in the US.
