The underwater kites move 10 times faster than the tidal flow at any given time. Speed and energy have a cubic relationship, whereby a kite moving 10 times the speed of the surrounding water yields 1,000 times the energy of the flow on the kites.

This company claims that these kites would leave a small environmental footprint and that tidal energy is guaranteed and predictable 365 day a year.
