The video introduces a novel approach to underwater power generation using aquifoils, developed by Michael Perry. The Aquinator harnesses ocean currents with minimal environmental impact, producing one MW of electricity from 2.5-knot currents, enough for 660 households. It differs from traditional rotary designs and is ideal for shallow waters with strong tidal movements.
