We’ve seen a marked increase in the attention — and the funding — given to hydrokinetically-generated energy by the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy. Personally, I’m gratified by this; until recently, I had been concerned that this subject was being …
Hydrokinetics in the News
Interest in the hydrokinetically-powered electric generator (HyPEG) is really heating up. I had numerous calls with potential investors late last week that show real promise. Also, for the book on renewables that I hope to have published in January, I’ll …
Hydrokinetically Powered Electric Generators
Those of you who read my Three Brass Tacks article on hydrokinetics will remember the concept of the HyPEG (Hydrokinetically Powered Electric Generator). I’m thrilled to announce that we at HLK (Hydrokinetic Labs, LLC) made significant forward progress this week, …
Hydrokinetics – Different Approaches
I am by no means an expert in fluid dynamics or hydrokinetics more specifically, but I must say that I’m happy to be learning more every day about the opportunity that exists in extracting energy from the motion of earth’s …
DoE Backs Hydrokinetics
I’m always glad when readers write in to alert me to news items in renewables that I may have overlooked. Scott Ledgerwood writes: Craig — enjoyed your hydrokinetics write-up. In case you missed this, see DOE notice on upcoming projects …
