  TriplePundit points us to an underwater energy generator that feeds off the currents in the water as they push past its shark-like tail. The BioStream was designed by BioPower systems after studying the efficiency of shark tail fins. Their website

    An Underwater Generator Inspired by Sharks, Minus the Seal Killing It never hurts to take cues from nature when designing technology, and that's just what BioPower Systems did when engineering its bioSTREAM underwater generator. It's inspired by shark

    Power generation would be so much easier if we could gather up all the fish of the sea and attach mini-turbines to all of their fins. Fish generate a huge amount of power with these things comparative to their size. What we can accomplish is the next

  Shark Power Vs Global Warming

  SHARKS WILL SAVE THE EARTH! Tim Finnigan is a professor of ocean engineering at the University of Sydney in Australia. He has designed a way to produce energy or rather collect energy on the sea floor by mimicking the design of Shark tails. The BioStream is anchored on the sea floor and as strong ocean currents pass over it, the movement of the tail from side to side creates energy like a windmill. The largest of the Shark tail generators can create two megawatts of power, which is enough to power over 1600 homes. The only problem is that since it is a new technology the cost is still high at 8 to 15 centers per kilowatt hour. Still, it is completely pollution and greenhouse gas free and does not obscure the beach front views like large windmills. Now we get to watch the oil, coal, and nuclear lobby try to torpedo the success of the technology. Read.
