Mobile Hydro

Allgemeine Informationen

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 1.4 billion people worldwide have no access to electricity – of which about 300 million people live close to rivers. Electrical supply plays an important role in improving the living conditions and economic development. For lighting, supply of small loads, such as refrigerators and water pumps or charging of mobile phones, there is a very real basic need in all remote, rural areas of the world. Yet current solutions are very expensive with high running costs, complicated and high tech machineries and site specific!

We address this niche and provide electricity as an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play solution in various geographic settings with a convincing cost-performance ratio. The ‘Rotor’ is made of worldwide available materials that can be substituted by a variety of recycled materials.
Therefore maintenance is very customer friendly and affordable. The mobile hydropower plant ‘Rotor‘ is a low-cost, robust, easy-to-maintain energy solution with primary goal of energy supply for off -grid areas.

Goals:
- Reach users that have no access to electricity until now
- Replace Diesel generators as the main off-grid energy source
- Support rural and economic development
- Make a contribution to international development partnership
- Facilitate knowledge exchange
