A turbine system that is both new and very efficient.
FishFlow Innovations came up with a new, patented design for the turbine that makes it fish-friendly and quiet. The turbine can handle the huge forces that happen out at sea. The innovative design cuts down on building costs, which makes it possible to make electricity at a very low cost per kWh. The impeller of the FishFlow Innovations Free Flow Turbine can turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. When it does, it makes power. This means that when it is used as a tidal turbine, it makes electricity when the tide comes in and out. The unique, patented shape of the turbine’s impeller makes it safe for fish and also makes it work very well. Because of the way the impeller blades are shaped, cavitation does not happen, and the water comes out of the impeller in a beam that is almost straight.
