Gulf Stream Turbines
Gulf Stream Turbines LLC is start up company that is trying to create a renewable energy source using the Gulf Stream current. The Gulf Stream, which is produced by the earth’s rotation, contains an enormous amount hydrokinetic energy. To tap into this immense source of renewable energy to produce electricity Gulf Stream Turbines plan on creating submersible power plants that can operate for extremely long periods without servicing. The Gulf Stream Turbine can do this because of its failure-proof design that depends on the laws of physics and has few moving parts.
==Technology==
The Gulf Stream Turbine relies on the relative locations of its centers of buoyancy and gravity to obtain its great stability and on a unique method of leveraging opposing forces to balance the lifting forces produced by the hydrofoils against the downward vector forces produced by the horizontal drag acting through the downward-angled anchor line. Because of their simplicity and lack of moving parts, they can generate electricity for extremely long periods without servicing.
The patents cover a self-supporting structure that allows the turbines to be positioned at those depths where the current can generate electricity at near the turbines’ design capacities. The actual conversion of the water’s kinetic energy into electricity utilizes the same technologies that are used by the wind-turbine industry. Unlike the wind turbines, the Gulf Stream Turbines will have very high capacity factors, extremely low O&M costs, and be able to produce usable power 24-7.
