What makes these inventions special?
- You may have seen tall wind turbines owned by utility companies in California and other states turn very slowly and yet produce vast amounts of electric energy.
- However, when water moves slowly in a stream or river, today, it is not used to produce electric energy using conventional electrical systems.
- In our patented inventions, large wind turbine blades are replaced by compact, slowly-turning water turbines to capture energy from low-velocity streams.
- In our patented inventions, slowly-turning water turbines produce electric energy, when coupled with gearing and electrical systems designed to work with slowly-turning wind mills. While the water turbine is immersed in the flowing water, the electrical systems float above the waterline.
- Finally, the inventions make use of bridge columns, seawalls or boat side walls to attach the turbine of appropriate size to produce electricity from moving water.
