This is a single foil HYDROFOIL Hydroelectric Generator that I designed to produce energy from the slow moving and otherwise useless water flows that are found all around the world. By using a hydrofoil wing instead of a turbine or pelton wheel we can generate large amounts of torque that can be turned into RPM's for use in generating electric energy. The hydrofoil design allows you to produce energy from rivers with little to no drop or head to the water flow, this will open up untapped hydroelectric resources the world over.

This is a HYDROFOIL based MICRO-HYDRO Hydroelectric power production device that's designed for slow moving water flows with very little to no dop. By using two Hydrofoil wings instead of a pelton wheel or a turbine we can harness the energy of rivers and streams that were typically seen as unusable for use with Micro-Hydro hydroelectric production. This is a simple to build design that could be scaled up or down depending on your needs.
