Trident AquaSail® is a new (patent pending) hydropower generation system* that offers an efficient and environmentally sensitive method of harnessing one of Britain's greatest natural and renewable sources of energy: tidal streams and rivers. The technology is also appropriate for open tidal waters and many low head inland waterways, especially where barriers already exist.
