A pioneering new green power device is set to be launched in the Firth of Forth this week that could revolutionise the emerging marine energy sector. The unique tidal stream turbine is the brainchild of two Scottish engineers who believe it can offer an affordable and efficient way of harnessing the power of the sea to provide reliable renewable energy. Dr David Anderson and Dr Charlie Silverton, co-founders of Roslin-based firm Renewable Devices, say their Capricorn marine turbine can outperform offshore wind schemes with respect to the cost per unit of electricity as well as ease of installation and maintenance.
