I was just kind of spitballing an idea and wondered what all of you think.

FUZYfuser... Please don't ever stop trying... you have a great Idea. There are those above who will tell you why it won't work... take each criticism... one at a time (if it's valid) and find a solution. Then you will have made a world of difference if you concept can still work.
Fuzyfuser. I once worked as an engineering tech for a company that has Kaplan, bulb, wind and other generators (hundreds of them) ... there is no reason why your idea will not work.
Imagine millions of micro bulb turbines chained together and to the ocean floor (at one end). They would be drifting too and fro in the ocean current.
Except for the fact that a ship might hit them the idea is almost flawless, maintenance would be simple because they could be serviced one at a time.
All we would have to do is make them float about 50 feet down... Hmmmmmm
