The devices would be mounted to floats attached to a concrete superstructure, concrete or stone blocks, and other gravity based weighted frameworks connected to research vessels, small launches or barges. The hydrokinetic devices would convert mechanical power from the tidal currents and the rise and fall of the tides in Bagaduce Narrows and Castine Harbor into electrical power without constructing a dam, reservoir, penstock, or powerhouse. l. Petition for Declaration of Intention: The Academy asks that it be allowed, without a license under Part I of the Federal Power Act, to deploy, test, and study the type of facilities listed above, and use the power from the test devices to heat water or charge 3 or 4 batteries which could sustain a charge and power a 12/24/32 volt array of instruments and lights aboard research vessels or small barges. The Academy would initially test the hydrokinetic devices for 12 to 14 hours during tidal cycles, and once the initial tests were completed, would continue to test the devices for durability for up to five weeks. The deployment would provide educational experience for students to develop skills in deploying, retrieving, maintaining, and repairing hydrokinetic devices. m.
