"If you do hydrokinetics, you have to deploy large numbers of units," he conceded.    From Wordnik.com. Reference

Known as tidal in-stream or hydrokinetics, the process is a far cry from old-style tidal barrages that are more akin to dams and cost much more to build.    From Wordnik.com.  [Macleans.ca] Reference

"We've not seen where the economics of hydrokinetics work," said David Brown Kinloch, a Louisville engineer and partner in the refurbishment of the Mother Ann Lee power plant at Lock and Dam No. 7 on the Kentucky River.    From Wordnik.com. Reference

"That's exactly the way wind started out, with fairly small projects," said in Colorado, who, after years of wind-power research, now studies what is called marine hydrokinetics, a catch-all term for tidal, wave and ocean thermal energy.    From Wordnik.com.  [NYT > Home Page]

In addition to serving as a place for research on hydrokinetics, the practice of using energy through the constant flow of water, RiverSphere would also serve as an incubator for existing and emerging businesses in the field, Meffert said.    From Wordnik.com.  [New Orleans Saints Central] Reference
