How Tidal Energy Works—With Flying Ocean Kites. Could ocean currents be the future of clean energy? Unlike solar and wind, tidal energy is 100% predictable—driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and Earth’s rotation. That makes it one of the most reliable renewable energy sources on the planet.
In this video, we dive into the groundbreaking work of Swedish company Minesto, creators of a revolutionary underwater kite turbine that flies through the ocean like a wing—harvesting energy even in slow-moving currents. This marine energy technology multiplies the speed of the water to generate up to 500% more power than traditional tidal turbines.
We’ll break down how Minesto’s Deep Green technology works, why it’s more efficient than fixed turbines, and how it could help coastal communities transition to sustainable, 24/7 clean electricity—directly from the sea.
