Connection Across Time

The Deep Green Underwater Kite
A Swedish company named Minesto has created a "kite" that swoops and dives in ocean currents to produce energy. Seawater is 800 times denser than air so the turbines on the kites can make 800 times more energy. Even in calm water the kites can produce 500 kilowatts of power. This new way to create power could increase the market for tidal power by 80%. The invention will change the way we generate power forever.
