This now makes three for three for WER not following through:Sambuca, Blue Energy, and the German turbine maker
Wasserkraft Volk AG (WKV).

The Davis Turbine has been running since 1984 at a 20 MW on the Annapolis River at the Annapolis Tidal Generating. And receives close to 40,000 tourist each year.

Below is also a report comment from one of the largest engineering firms we know including others that have participated in Davis Turbine testing.

“The Davis Turbine, in our opinion, is a technically feasible alternative for producing electricity. All investigators who have reviewed the concept including the US Army Corps of Engineers, the National Research Council of Canada and other consulting engineering firms agree that this technology works and it is a credible development. – RW Beck (Engineering) Inc.,

I believe that the Blue Energy Tidal Bridge is the only one with this type of extensive testing.

The others, Blue Energy Canada & World Energy Research, we will see about and I hope they have good luck. I would not invest one slim dime in either one though so if they make it big then I lose out.

I am positive my dime is safer in my pocket though as I expect they will go the way of Pelamis – lots of press releases and then disappear.

From what I read before it require a huge investment but that can easily be earned back in the long run. I just hope that the project will go smoothly as planned. If it does materialize, just imagine the amount of energy that we would have saved rather than burning fuel and coal for energy generation.
