This is really cool! We have so much tidal energy around our shores it is criminal to ignore it. I have been a big advocate of using this energy for ages but not seen any system yet that seems to approach it in a logical way - this just may be it if you can answer the following!
You say the system can be brought back to the surface for maintenance, can you get onto it? It looks big enough. Can you do major repairs if needed without bringing it back to shore?
What if a turbine breaks down? Do you have to stop all the others for safety?
Does it swing around like a kite to capture the best flow?
