A new tidal energy conversion system developed by an Australian firm is a novel new way to generate power with zero emissions, and little to no environmental impact. The system resembles a very large fish fin, and was in fact inspired by it. It's a great idea to tap the power in the tides, and it's a shame it hasn't happened sooner. 

The company, BioPower Systems has a couple power plants both inspired by nature.
