Unique Approach to High Head Hydrokinetics — Investors Needed
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmI-Y8EGQnc] Here’s a short video in which I discuss a unique approach that applies nicely to hydrokinetics in high head conditions, e.g., waterfalls or steep rapids. Does this scale to the point that it can replace terawatts of fossil …

Cool Idea in Run-of-River Hydrokinetics
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmoVgU93Z44&w=420&h=315] In this interview, I discuss a radical new approach to run-of-river hydrokinetics where the water is falling far over a short distance, e.g., a waterfall. The company’s solution is extremely straightforward and would be easy for a wily …
Hydrokinetics Has Great Potential to Provide Clean Energy
Hydrokinetics is quite an appealing subject; here’s why: huge masses of water are moving all around us more or less constantly, in our ocean tides and other predictable currents, as well as in our large rivers — and rightfully, these …
