AK-1000 tidal energy turbine could be the world’s largest

What you see on the right could very well be the largest tidal energy turbine in the world, and despite that claim to fame, its developer has described it as “simple and robust”. According to Atlantis Resources, their AK-1000 was specially designed to survive in a harsh marine environment. Featuring a couple of sets of blades that will harness ebb and flood tides, the AK-1000 will move slowly underwater, and will in no way pose a threat to sea life. After all, it isn’t going to chop up any fish with the turbines turning at six to eight revolutions per minute. Expect to see the AK-1000 make a splash (pun not intended) worldwide in due time as it helps generate electricity the green and renewable way.
