Power of the Dream Ventures Commissions Second Phase of VITUKI Testing of RiverPower Prototypes
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY–( EMWNews – April 4, 2008) – Power of the Dream Ventures (PDV) (
announced that the Company has ordered a second round of testing at VITUKI,
Hungary’s Environmental and Water Management Research and Consulting
Ltd., of the Company’s RiverPower technology.
VITUKI houses Central-Eastern Europe’s largest water testing equipment.
RiverPower will be tested in a 70 meter long 1.5 meter wide channel. Rather
than moving water through a stationary device, the one fourth scale
prototypes will be moved in the water through the length of the canal. As
the connected vertical wheels turn, torque is transferred to a single shaft
where it is measured to determine potential power generating
characteristics of the device.
This second rounds of testing is aimed at enhancing and optimizing the
design of RiverPower, the end result of which will be an increase in
performance on the order of two to three times of the original machines.
Once testing completes, anticipated by the end of August, a full sized
machine is to be installed and river tested at a suitable location.
RiverPower is a proprietary, environmentally friendly, renewable power
generation technology aimed at converting the flow of rivers into
electricity without the need for expensive and environmentally degrading
dam construction. In order to generate electricity, RiverPower generators
are simply submerged into rivers and anchored to the riverbed. As long as
the river flow exceeds one meter per second, RiverPower machine will
generate electrical power economically.
