Details of Construction

     Prototype with 40 kW nominal power.

     Development in cooperation with
     Technical University Brunswick and
     Leichtweiss Institute for water
     technologies.

Conceptual design of Flow Converter is similar to the wind rotors of
4 Power Plant: The design allows a direct constructional integration of the generator into the rotating system of the
Flow Converter. – The rotor is already the generator! This results in a total encapsulation against climate and seawater impact.

The generator is specifically developed for slow running energy converters. The design provides high efficiency in conjunction with compact dimensions and high overload capacity. Magnetic bearings and the brushless design is free of maintenance.

 

  • Patented generator system,
    seawater resistant for under water application
    .

  • Modular system (500 kW per 20 ft. container),
    stackable – no competition in power and price
    .

  • Easy transport and dismantling.

  • Autonomous operation for sustained energy provisioning.

  • Optional seawater desalinization or water treatment for production of potable water.

  • Optional hydrogen generation – regenerative fuel and energy storage

  • No environmental impact.

The entire system is operated below water surface. Ships may run above it.

The only structural measure is an anchorage on the bottom of the river or sea.
