The document discusses underwater windmills as a renewable energy technology. It describes how underwater windmills work similarly to traditional wind turbines, extracting energy from tidal currents rather than wind. The key parts of an underwater windmill are identified as turbines, a gearbox, generator, cables, and support structure. Underwater windmills can be either vertical or horizontal axis designs. They operate by converting the kinetic energy of moving water into rotational energy via the turbine blades, which spins a generator via a gearbox to produce electricity. Advantages include being a renewable source with no emissions and low maintenance costs. Disadvantages include high initial costs and difficulties with installation and maintenance underwater.

Increased proportion of renewable energy sources enhances energetic viability of the energy system. It also helps to enhance energy delivery security by decreasing dependency on importing energetic raw materials and electrical energy. Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY

Why it is called as “underwater windmill” ?
"Basically it's like putting a
windmill in the water,“
Or as it’s looking like a
wind mill & are installed on the ocean floor and large river bed , that means these are under thewater. UNDERWATER WINDMILL An Underwater windmill like a device that extracts power from the tides. Renewable energy technologies are becoming an increasingly favorable alternative to conventional energy sources to assuage fossil fuel related issues. Tidal energy offers a vast and reliable energy source. This technology is similar to wind energy technology, with the rotor blades driven not by wind power but by tidal currents. The gravitational pull of the moon produces a swift tidal current, which spins the long blades of the turbine . Which in turn produces electricity via different parts of underwater windmill . TURBINE PLACED UNDER THE SEA AND ROTATING IN THE DIRECTION OF FLOW HISTORY Until late nineteenth centaury windmills wound only produce mechanical power of their tasks such as granting or plumbing water With the creation of electricity , wind mills make found that wind mills could be attached to generator and used to createpower The first windmill used to produce electrical energy was created in 1888 by Charles F brush UNDERWATER WINDMILL TURBINES HUGE TURBINE PLACED UNDER THE SEA MAIN PARTS Turbines Gearbox Generator Cables support .

The rotor shaft is The rotor shaft is horizontal
perpendicular to the to the direction of flow of direction of flow of water water PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
In simple a underwater windmill consists of a number of
blades mounted on a hub (together known as the rotor), a gearbox, and a generator. The hydrodynamic effect of the flowing water past the blades causes the rotor to rotate, thus turning the generator to which the rotor is connected via a gearbox. The gearbox is used to convert the rotational speed of the rotor shaft to the desired output speed of the generator shaft. The electricity generated is transmitted to land through cables. TURBINES PLACED UNDER WATER Turbines running under water Turbine placed under water to without harming the water consume ocean power. animals MAINTANCE OF UNDERWATER WINDMILL ADVANTAGES Tidal energy is completelyrenewable. Tidal energy produces noemissions. Hidden beneath the water. Have lesser impact on the environment Low running cost Long lifetime with littlemaintenance Reduces the dependence upon fossilfuels DISADVANTAGES The initial cost is toohigh Very difficult to install The blade must be coated to avoid corrosion Damages habitat up to 500maway Maintenance is difficult CONCLUSION we believe that the intense and predictable marine current resource offers the possibility of clean energy at a cost that will ultimately be competitive not only with the other renewable, but in the long run we believe we can compete head on with most forms of fossil fuelled power generation at present-day costs.
