An innovative method to extract energy from the Caspian Sea! Improving the marine environment through the stirring effect of nutrients!
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.

Company information
To commercialize the pendulum-type water flow power generation system Hydro-VENUS (Hydrokinetic Vortex ENergy Utilization System), which was developed from research at Okayama University, we have established Hydro Venus Co., Ltd. This is the world's first method to generate electricity by vibrating a pendulum using the flow of water from nearby rivers, waterways, tidal currents, and ocean currents. It is also possible to rotate it like the conventional propeller rotation method seen in wind power generation. In the case of the rotating type, it has the unique feature of being able to rotate in both forward and reverse directions, making it suitable for small hydropower generation as it is less likely to get entangled with grass and other debris. Currently, we are developing a flow meter based on the principle that the amount of electricity generated changes according to the flow velocity. As it is a generator itself, we aim to achieve a low-cost flow meter that does not require an external power source. It can generate electricity even in shallow rivers, allowing installation in small and medium-sized rivers that previously lacked water level gauges or flow meters. We are also developing a system that uses AI to predict floods based on data from the installed Hydro-VENUS flow meters.
