Tide turns for ocean energy ...

An Australian company, using technology that a young Queensland engineer designed, is expected this week to announce a string of international contracts.

Atlantis Resources Corporation has developed turbines that can generate electricity from the sea's movement. It has begun trials at San Remo in Victoria.

The company is confident it will win a contract to build 500 underwater turbines in the sea off Scotland.

The tidal farm will have capacity to power a million homes.
