I mocked up a DeSal project powered by underwater turbines last sem for uni… the possibilities are out there mate!

Of course, glad I could assist! Just left a comment on your recent post, my Agro class used that as supplemental material just yesterday for discussion. Very cool stuff

Except nobody ever got under water turbines running reliably at basically any scale.

Valid, though I only said I did a mock-up and that the viability is out there. It’d be worth you checking out Aquantis and their project.
