Our VIVACE technology uses the extensively studied phenomenon of vortex induced vibrations to extract useful energy from ocean, river, tidal and other water currents.

Did you know?

Approximately 97.5% of the Earth's water is seawater, and no more than about 2.5% is fresh water, and most fresh water is held in glaciers, icebergs, and underground reservoirs. Water that can be used easily by humans, such as that in rivers and lakes, accounts for just 0.1% of the total. Meanwhile, the global population topped 6 billion in 2000 and is expected to reach 8 billion by 2025, of which 3.5 billion are likely to face water shortages. An important component of the solution to this growing problem is desalination.

Did you know?

VIVACE is highly scalable and can produce energy over a wide range of current speeds, which opens up the opportunity for a range of diverse markets ranging from perpetually powered ocean sensors to irrigation pumping in developing countries.

Did you know?

Dozens of old dams are removed every year and the pace is accelerating. VIVACE offers an opportunity to generate electricity or pump water at these locations while returning these rivers to a more natural state.

Markets

Other Applications

VIVACE is highly scalable and can produce energy over a wide range of current speeds. These attributes allow energy to be derived from nearly any flowing resource. Energy applications perpetually powered ocean sensors, uninterruptible power for critical coastal facilities, and the supply of electricity to offshore facilities without the logistical challenge of supplying diesel to generator sets.

Pumping applications beyond desalination also present attractive markets for VHE. VIVACE installations can be placed in rivers and used to raise irrigation water without a dam and without dramatically altering the riverine environment. Large quantities of water must also be pumped for remediation projects. Modular VIVACE units could be used for this purpose and then removed and re-used at another site.
