Formed to develop technology for exploiting flowing water in general and tidal streams in particular. The goal is both to arrive at cost-effective and reliable power systems and to develop these commercially on a large scale.
Rotech is Lunar Energy’s appointed Technical Collaborator and they are responsible for the technical development of the technology. They own the Intellectual Property Rights and have granted Lunar Energy an exclusive worldwide license to commercially develop the technology.
The Blue Energy Ocean Turbine acts as a highly efficient underwater vertical-axis windmill. Sea water is 832 times denser than air and a non-compressible medium, an 8 knot tidal current is the equivalent of a 390 km/hr wind. Developed by veteran aerospace engineer Barry Davis, the vertical-axis turbine represents two decades of Canadian research and development.
A systems integrator and a developer of free-flow turbine systems that generate utility and village-scale electric power from natural underwater currents.
