Arindam Banerjee: Designing a more efficient tidal turbine
Imagine a single tidal turbine capable of powering a community of 50 to 70 homes all year long.
That’s the potential of turbines being developed by Verdant Power, which builds marine energy systems that harness power generated from currents. Turbines whose design is currently being refined by researchers at Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
