Hydrokinetic energy converters

Hydrokinetic energy converters capture the natural flow of water—such as rivers, tidal streams, and ocean currents—to generate electricity. Unlike traditional dams, they operate without significantly altering the waterway or blocking navigation, making them environmentally friendly. These devices typically use turbines or other mechanisms that turn with the moving water, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. They provide a reliable renewable power source, harnessing the continuous movement of water in oceans and rivers, which can produce clean energy with minimal ecological impact. Hydrokinetic converters are an innovative way to tap into the Earth's natural water movements for sustainable electricity.
