Generator Housing
TT2 is able to use proven, "off the shelf" generators and electrical equipment from the offshore wind industry as they will be housed in storm proof containers on a steel topside, above the highest waves.

Steel Topsides Above the Highest Waves
TT2's vertical axis design enables the use of a steel truss structure to hold all electrical equipment above the highest waves. This reduces failure rates and means that generators are easily accessed for operations and maintenance.

Vertical Axis Drive Shafts
Vertical axis drive shafts are crucial to the TT2 concept because they can extend above water, enabling all generators and electrical equipment to be held above water for reduced operations and maintenance costs.

Vertical Axis Turbines
Vertical axis turbines are more efficient in prevalent medium energy tides. TT2 can generate an unprecedented 2 MW in 2 m/s, unlocking viable gigawatt scale tidal farm potential, close to where power is needed most.

Floatable Concrete Gravity Base
Our robust concrete gravity base is designed to sit on the seabed under its own weight, without piling or anchoring. It is installed by our float out and sink technology meaning we avoid using scarce and expensive heavy lift vessels.

Watch our 1/20th scale test
Get a first look at our 1/20th scale TT2 model in motion. Filmed during controlled tank testing, this short video shows how our tidal turbine design works – and why it’s different.
From concept to clean, consistent power, TT2 is built to perform.
