The Aquanator is a small-scale tidal-power device, a device which uses rows of hydrofoils to generate electricity from water currents. It was invented by Australian inventor Michael Perry. HistoryThe Aquanator invention was announced in 2004. A contract to test the device was signed with Country Energy on 26 September 2004.[1] Its test site was located at {{Coord|38.5163|S|145.3648|E|display=inline}}. In beginning of 2006 it was connected to grid.[2] However, the device test site was decommissioned in May 2008 by its owner Atlantis Resources.[3] DescriptionThe Aquanator used ocean current to produce electricity. It was intended to generate power even with a small flow of 1.5 knots.[4] The test device had a capacity of 5 kW. The aquanator’s slow moving hydrofoil design was meant to provide a green energy source which would not harm ocean life as faster moving turbines might.[5] EconomyThe aquanator was meant to be cheaper than diesel fuels, with costs about the same amount as wind power and will be one sixth the price of diesel-powered systems.[6] See also
