Utterly untrue.
That’s the hydro bit, 1.5% on Saturday from hydro generation.
naah i meant turbines on ships propellors to create hydro electricity. or would it not work like that?

What about masts and sails on ships ? Might that save oil ?
I thought your auto-correct had made a twat of you till i googled it out of curiosityIs that not from reservoirs such as Denorwig as opposed to tidal?
Big barsteward isnt it?I thought your auto-correct had made a twat of you till i googled it out of curiosity
Will be both, power generated by water movement falls under hydro, uk tidal potential is large but actual installed capacity only around 20MW.Is that not from reservoirs such as Denorwig as opposed to tidal?
On Saturday wind produced 31.9% of GB electricity followed by nuclear 23.6%, gas 20.7%, biomass 7.9%, imports 6.6%, solar 6.2%, hydro 1.5%, storage 1.0%, other 0.4%, coal 0.0%, national demand 604 GWh *excl. non-renewable distributed generation.
That’s 71.1% from low carbon and renewable sources.
Big change from where we were 5 years ago.
Should massively up the tidal capabilities, between water and wind the uk has a great advantage.
This is what I always found strange about labours plan for nationalising the power companies.
Instead of buying back things that rely on commodities that will run out, get a move on with the renewables with the money that would have been used for the purchase and make them obsolete, surely it's a no brainer, tidal wind and nuclear to make up our power needs 100%.
All the sea and rivers we have and only produce 1.5% hydro.
Tidal is still in its infancy relative to wind. There are a number of designs out there which effectively transfer the up and down motion into
I think we could have developed the inland hydro better than we have, but offshore tidal is not a mature technology.
£/MW wind power is more cost effective. In fact, it’s more cost effective than nuclear and other traditional fuel sources.
I was thinking along the lines of say the drop in the Wear in Durham city, it seems a perfect location for a constant flow to create power.
Is it simple enough to do or are there alot of problems regarding something like that?
Any drop in height provides the opportunity to convert potential energy to actual power, but to be commercially viable, the head of water generally needs to be above a certain level.
That said, there’s a clear argument for micro generation over multiple sites.
Can’t decide if you’re taking the piss or not.naah i meant turbines on ships propellors to create hydro electricity. or would it not work like that?
How does a car turbo work?Can’t decide if you’re taking the piss or not.
A turbo uses waste gas that’s doing nothing else. He’s taking about putting something onto a propellor that will add resistance to its rotation, so you’d have to use more energy to turn it. That’s more like a supercharger.How does a car turbo work?
Could you attach wind turbines onto the side of car wheels?
They've been testing tidal stuff here, underwater Kites!Will be both, power generated by water movement falls under hydro, uk tidal potential is large but actual installed capacity only around 20MW.

How much of it is there?
Shit I'm starting to sound like the lazy non researchers on here, I'll have a look.
As of 2017 1.8%.
I have solar panels attached to the roof of my motor.How does a car turbo work?
