  • Modular envelope hydrodynamic electrification system
    Patent number: 11982255
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic electrification system that generates electricity from water moving from a high side to a low side and around a structure that divides the low side from the high side generally includes a water transport system that directs the water from the high side presenting a hydraulic head, over the structure, and to the low side. The system includes a power extraction system having a wheel that receives the water from said water transport system and a mounting system having a high side anchor that connects near an intake to the water transport system at the high side and having a low side anchor that connects to the power extraction system at the low side.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
