# Massive Energy Turbines The 'Atlantis Resources AK1000' Will Be Installed In Scotland By manzil | Published 2010-08-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlantis-resources-ak1000 References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/08/worlds-largest-tidal-turbine-unveiled-scotland.php) & [atlantisresourcescorporation](http://www.atlantisresourcescorporation.com/) Later in the summer of 2010, the world's largest [tidal turbine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrokinetic-river-power) is going to be installed at the [European Marine Energy Centre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credit-facility) in Scotland. Officially named the 'Atlantis Resources AK1000,' the turbine will be able to generate 1 MW from tides and ebb. The 130-ton turbine is specially designed to withstand the harsh environment of the Scottish coast. The eco-friendly turbine will have absolutely zero impact on the surrounding environment as well as the marine life because it will rotate at a speed of six to eight revolutions per minute. The energy generated by Atlantis Resources AK1000 will be enough to [power 1,000 homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-delta-pro-ultra-x). Now, that's a massive turbine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tidal Energy:** The adoption of tidal energy can be considered as a potential disruptive innovation in the renewable energy sector. - **Sustainable Energy:** The use of eco-friendly turbines can be a potential trend towards sustainable energy. - **Marine Energy:** The increase in demand for clean energy can be a potential trend towards the utilization of marine energy. ### Where This Applies - **Renewable Energy:** Innovation towards tidal and marine energy can disrupt the renewable energy sector. - **Environmental Engineering:** The demand for eco-friendly and sustainable turbines can disrupt the environmental engineering industry. - **Power Generation:** The adoption of tidal and marine energy can disrupt the traditional power generation industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Turbine-Hauling Wheeled Cranes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeledcrane.md) - [Floating Turbine Wind Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petrofac-and-seawind-ocean-technology.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Eco Oceanic Energy Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveline-magnet-concept-design.md) - [Floating Wind Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-platform.md) - [Gigawatt Solar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gigawatt-solar-projects.md)
