A3_11 Energy from rip currents
Abstract
Â
The power contained within typical a rip current is estimated, and a simple calculation is made of the amount that could be extracted and used. Technical difficulties with scaling up the process to provide a significant contribution to energy needs are discussed, and conclude that natural rip current power is not suited to large scale electricity generation.
