Pulse-Stream

Pulse-Stream operates in tidal currents, which move horizontal blades up and down to drive a generator. During operation, the system sits on the sea-bed and is fully submerged even in shallow water. However, for maintenance, the system can come to the surface without the need for cranes and complicated offshore vessels - making maintenance work very simple.
