Hydra

Georg Kirbis

Hydra is a portable hydroelectric plant that can be used in almost every river. In developing countries and disaster areas, it can produce locally generated electricity for aid stations as well as provide a first infrastructure. Magnetic bearings help Hydra to function extremely efficiently, and with rotor vanes con-structed from plywood and paper, the unit is light, environmentally friendly, and easy to assemble.
