The extra movement created increases the flow of water through the turbine thus increasing the power generated.
Twenty turbines will be anchored off Anglesey which will generate enough electricity to power 8,000 homes.
Each turbine is suspended beneath a rigid kite and tethered to the sea bed.
The kite is designed so that it moves in a figure of eight when in flowing water.
