Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Renewable energy sources (primarily the energy of air, river, and ocean currents) are available on the earth and in the territory of the USSR in such amounts which make it possible to completely meet the needs of the population of the earth or such a country as the USSR in the foreseeable future.

  2. 2.

    It is advisable to construct the use of the energy of air, river, and ocean currents not on principles of the maximum local harnessing of power with a maximum efficiency but on the principles of small changes in the natural conditions realized with a maximum economic advantage. The energy of renewable sources is so great and so distributed in time that its use in relatively small local doses but in combination with others can give a necessary and sufficient solution of the energy problem.

  3. 3.

    The new schemes of orthogonal power-producing units developed and tested can be used effectively for converting the energy of wind and river and ocean currents.
