ハイドロヴィーナス List of Products and Services

Hydro-VENUS generates electricity by slowly oscillating a sturdy pendulum. Its simple shape compared to a propeller provides high strength and makes it less likely to entangle debris or weeds. It can be used as a flow meter by utilizing the principle that the amount of electricity generated changes according to the flow rate. Since it is a generator itself, it does not require an external power source, making it low-cost, and it can efficiently generate electricity even in shallow rivers and waterways as long as the pendulum's amplitude is sufficient. It is being deployed in many small to medium-sized rivers that do not have flow meters or water level gauges for river management, and by utilizing AI with the flow rate data collected, a system for wide-area flood prediction is under development. 【Features】 ■ Low manufacturing costs due to easy production with a simple structural design ■ The pendulum structure is durable and easy to maintain ■ Achieves an overwhelmingly low-cost flow meter for river management compared to conventional methods ■ Developing a flood prediction system using AI with big data on flow rates *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF for more information.

The importance of flood prediction is increasing. However, monitoring changes in upstream rivers and small waterways in urban areas, which are crucial for predictions, has not progressed. There are also areas in mountainous regions where there are no power lines or communication lines. To address this, we are jointly developing a system with Okayama University that generates power, senses, and communicates using a small "Hydro Venus," and predicts using cloud AI. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In the "satoumi" of our country's coast, there is a vast amount of tidal energy equivalent to 20 nuclear power plants lying dormant. Moreover, tidal currents are a stable power source that is not affected by weather conditions. While tidal power generation that uses propellers is common, "Hydro Venus" is an innovative tidal power generation method that uses a pendulum instead of a propeller. 【Features】 ■ Minimal entanglement with debris ■ Simple shape and easy to manufacture ■ Improves marine environment through nutrient mixing effects *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

When a stick or similar object is placed in the flow of water or air, vortices are created around it. These vortices generate vibrational forces on the stick. This "fluid-induced vibration" possesses strong energy with destructive power capable of destroying bridges. Professor Hiejima from Okayama University, a researcher in wind engineering working on vibration suppression, reversed the concept and focused on utilizing it for power generation. The result of this research is the flow power generation technology called "Hydro Venus." 【Features】 ■ Inexpensive and sturdy structure ■ Difficult for debris to get entangled ■ Operable in shallow areas and low flow velocity locations *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
