Abstract
Leading Edge is a group of scientists, engineers, ecologists, and entrepreneurs who are working to capture the energy from the leading edge of a hydrofoil and determine the viability of bringing clean hydrokinetic energy to mass market. Similar to a turbine blade which is deflected as it redirects the water flow, thereby driving a generator, a hydrofoil is also deflected when it is at different angles of attack. Using a pitching and heaving motion, two offset hydrofoils will move out of phase of each other and harness energy from the tide or current of free waterways.
