AB - Low aspect ratio hydrofoils have a variety of potential uses in tidal current energy for harnessing or directing the moving flow relative to a stationary body. Such a body is the Sea Snail, a purpose-built support structure for tidal turbines and other related plant, that utilises an array of six hydrofoils to harness the pressure energy within the flow thereby enhancing the devices inherent submerged weight. This paper shows the empirical testing of the array at 1/7th scale within a river environment
