Natural Innovation supports the development of clean technologies that have the potential for a significant impact on the environment and poverty, and have a viable business model, but cannot be financed by traditional means by virtue of being based in, or marketed to, developing countries, or the technology is in the public domain. |

 Vortec Turbines have developed a hydro system that can work on low (~1m) heads of water through use of a novel vortex to speed up flow. Proofs of concept have been built, and funds sourced for the first deployment, but they will need support to create a replicable system. Approximate requirement of US$60k to build a 40kw system with a three-year payback, and another US$20-40k to complete testing and selection of alternators, and train villagers in their construction.

 The innovator is developing a low-cost vertical axis small (~1kw) wind turbine suitable for Indian markets. He needs help to speed up the process of simulation; rapid prototyping; wind-tunnel testing; tooling up, and working capital to produce the first batches including for example sourcing the first batch of appropriate wind-capable alternators.

Mario and his team are developing a low-cost micro-wind turbine suitable for deployment in rural situations in developing countries.
Funds have been secured to cover most of the costs of finishing the design and protoyping.
In order to complete testing, Mario needs access to someone with experience with virtual wind tunnel testing. Preferably using the Pro-E software. |
