The MAXBlade project, which aims to maximise tidal energy generation and reduce costs, was officially launched in the presence of Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, who is also the Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh.
The world's first rapid testing facility for tidal turbine blades, which researchers say can speed up development of marine energy technologies while helping to reduce costs, has opened for business.
The old adage expresses the inevitability of the tides – huge volumes of water moving relentlessly around our shores, like clockwork, controlled by the phases of the moon. It is only recently that humans have started to develop methods of extracting energy from this predictable source of renewab
FASTBLADE are pleased to have hired Jos van't Hoff, an expert in the field of coupled hydraulic-dynamic models to carry out the simulation of the FASTBLADE system.
