Key Takeaways
- David Mummery invented the Swimmer Turbine, a 50kw tidal generator.
- The device is compact and can be assembled locally like an Ikea kit.
- It aims to provide affordable renewable energy to coastal communities.
Engineer David Mummery has developed a compact, low-cost tidal energy generator known as the Swimmer Turbine, designed to harness the power of ocean currents for coastal communities. Unlike massive commercial tidal projects, this 50kw device can be easily assembled and installed by local workers from village harbors, functioning much like a flat-pack furniture kit to provide sustainable power for local homes.
