1 MW Everest, page-8

The WITT video that you posted was very interesting. The one aspect that I wonder about is the mechanical funtioning of the device; there are a lot of moving parts that have to work in unison for it to produce energy. (minimum resistance, many gears, gimbles, flywheels etc). These have to be housed in a hostile marine environment, be accessible/serviced.
What is the initial resistance that it must overcome to start working & then, at maximum power will the 'gearing' still produce sufficient energy (think fixed-gear bike vs 18gear bike from start to full speed downhill) & is this scalable to 1MW?
One might find that the 'real size' of WE WITT unit(s) would just be too big for the Ceto.
The current hydraulic PTO IMO is more suited & 'tried & tested'.
Whilst very impressive the WITT looks too much like clockwork parts so your analogy with Seiko is relevant.
