The principle behind Shahmir’s project is to combine the eco-friendly system of a wind turbine or any turbine and use it to utilize the most reliable renewable source of energy, ocean currents. Attaching the turbine on the ocean floor is expensive and difficult to maintain so the project plan designs an oil rig system which instead of having a drill has a turbine attached to a shaft which is lowered into the ocean to generate electricity.
