  • talk about blowin money

  • cool animation, but...a few questions.

    what about waves? cause those happen in the ocean.

    how will that thing be stabilized in real life? cause here they just have little beams...

    how long would it take for it to pay back in energy the cost of material and energy of laying one down (with cables)?

  • as long as they still need divers i dont care what they do

  • This is way better than building a solid base offshore turbine.

    It doesn't need the complexities needed for fixed tower to turn the nacelle into the wind. Nor the 360 degrees strength of a fixed tower. The carrying barge can be used for service by bringing the rotor and nacelle down. Or take the entire turbine at bay if needed.

    Except the submerged power cable, installation costs can be less than on shore turbines where building roads, cranes and heavy, stiff construction are needed.

  • put an option for downloading these educative videos

    Access is easy. Either use a helicopter or sail up to it with a smallish work-boat.

    Just like they do with all other offshore turbines.

    I would like to site select with county and landowners signing them into our JVA's. I have a Municipality in mind that is desperate for new jobs, and income base.

  • The moment that the rotor-nacelle assembly puts on the base would seem to be way too big to hold it up. The foundation would have to be gigantic

  • That's definitely more practical than offshore solar panels.

  • How do you access it for service. Lighthouse keepers used to be marooned for months in the 20th century. Also the gyroscopic effect will fatigue the roots of the blades.
