Glad to hear the Naval Architecture Department (I assume that is who is working on this at UMich--I am a grad of NavArch rival Webb Institute) is making progress on energy programs, but 3 knots is some pretty serious current. Most tidal currents are well under 2 kts, so you are primarily limited to streams and rivers and ones with pretty decent flow as well.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
