SeaUrchin™ captures energy from:
- Permanent, continuous warm and cold ocean streams that pass close to every continent;
- Ocean tides that derive their kinetic energy from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun; and
- River flows which run through many cities, towns and communities around the globe;

SeaUrchin™:
- Is sited underwater and is visually unobtrusive;
- Has minimal impact on the ocean bed;
|
|
 |
- Is safe for most marine life to pass through the quiet, slow-rotating turbine. In areas where large marine life exists such as migration routes for whales, seals and dolphins, a protection shield can be fitted to the front of the SeaUrchin or sonar transponders fitted to deter large marine mammals;
- Is scalable and modular to match energy usage and site locations as required; and
- When appropriately deployed, provides constant or predictable power to the electricity grid.
