Science for Society | An Inexhaustible Source of Green Energy
There are continuous currents under the surface of the sea as a result of the tide. Research has shown that it is possible to generate renewable energy from these currents using the so-called TidalKite: an underwater device in the Wadden Sea that moves back and forth and generates electricity from the resulting tensile forces. UG associate professor Eize Stamhuis and his colleagues have been involved in the project from the start and have helped to further develop and refine this Dutch invention of SeaQurrent.
