  • Scalable in arrays

  • Low profile, debris deflecting design

  • Environmentally sound, fish friendly

  • 5 Volturnus= 50 kW V-POD system

FERC

"New hydrokinetic technologies, if fully developed, have the potential to double the amount of hydropower production in the United States, bringing it from just below 10% to close to 20% of the national supply."

Efficiency

Volturnus uniquely harnesses the power in flowing water, with efficiency close to the theoretically maximum possible "Betz Limit"

Availability

Utilizing the 24/7 availability of flowing water in rivers, canals and oceans, combined with a self-clearing design, V-Pods provide baseload electricity

V-Pods produce emission free, eletricity 24/7 giving them a huge advantage over similar wind and solar devices that can't produce reliable base load power.
