Morild II
Hydraulic transmission to two synchronous generators. Each turbine is composed of two unique wooden turbine blades that can be pitched 180 degrees to utilize energy in both directions. The plant carries sea vessel verification, and is both towable and dockable, allowing maintenance in surface position and on site. The prototype transmits energy with an undersea cable and can be remotely operated from on-shore surveillance systems.
