Energy for All
Two million people die every year from indoor cooking smoke because they don’t have electricity. Our technology can be used worldwide on a massive scale. We need help to create awareness of our technology with institutions around the world who can put it to use where it is urgently needed. The new International Patents Pending turbine design (above left) can be mounted on a floating pontoon (above right) and dropped in a river. The water flowing underneath it turns the

Screening Africa’s renewable energies potential
The European Joint Research Center(JRC) published a study mapping the potential of renewable energy sources in Africa to coincide with the official European Launch of UN Year on “Sustainable Energy for All” held in Brussels on February 8 which basically confirms the availability and feasibility of energy from rivers in Equatorial Africa as roughly circled in our presentation of the case for river energy as part of the solution for smoke from indoor cooking. The report analyses the

Indoor cooking fires kill
A Major Environmental Cause of Death: Smoke from indoor cooking fires kill 2 million a year The World Health Organization (WHO) lists Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) from primitive household cooking fires as the leading environmental cause of death in the world, as it contributes to nearly 2.0 million deaths annually – more deaths than are caused each year by malaria. Almost half of the planet lives in poverty, and those households generally use biomass (wood, crop residues, charcoal, or dung)

Micro Hydro Costs Compared
Micro Hydro and other Energy costs compared We set out a very brief comparison of the installed costs of the various small renewable energy systems commonly used in Africa, and also micro hydro costs compared with run of river systems. Hydro electric power plants are generally classified in one of 5 categories according to a plant’s hourly generating capacity. A Micro Hydro power source is by far the most efficient and affordable renewable energy technology for small rural power needs

Micro Hydro Energy from Rivers
Low Head Slow Flow Micro Hydro River Energy Water Wheels and water mills are arguably the oldest source of mechanical power from ancient days used in primitive industrial processes. Uses of water wheels included milling flour in gristmills and grinding wood into pulp for paper making, but other uses include foundry work, machining, and pounding fiber for use in the manufacture of cloth. Thousands of these wheels were used all over Europe, but with the advent of cheap electricity,
