Emrgy - Hydropower Unit
Our hydro units generate useful energy from small water flows. Unlike conventional hydropower which requires gravity drop and head pressure for effective operation, Emrgy’s technology optimizes only on the kinetic energy or velocity of the volume of water flowing through a channel. Much like a wind turbine placed underwater, the water flow through Emrgy’s flume causes the twin turbines to rotate and create torque and speed around the shafts. This mechanical power is transmitted through our proprietary magnetic gearbox to achieve high speed rotation for seamless integration with an efficient electric generator. The concrete flume optimizes water flow to the turbines as well as provides structure and ballast for the entire system.
