  • Underwater turbines that harvest tidal currents have already become an established technology in the world of clean energy. So in order to push the frontier further, a group of engineers at Oxford have been tinkering away on a design that promises to be even more powerful and efficient. The group recently introduced an innovative Transverse Horizontal Axis Water Turbine that will not only collect more energy but require 60% lower manufacturing costs and 40% lower maintenance costs....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/oxford-engineers-transverse-horizontal-axis-water-turbine/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
