At this point you just know its fairy dust

Hydraulic ram? Just a thought.

The web site shows the turbines being used as pumps. Unfortunately, as
they have chosen to use black text on a mainly blue background I haven't
actually been able to read what, if any, benefit they think there is.

They're minimising environmental problems by losing efficiency. The
pumping, for instance, is claimed to restore the original tidal flows,
and their turbines are only 3 bladed in an attempt to stop them from
turning fish into fish fingers.

It's easier to read if you select the text for copying, I found.
