Q: What are the advantages of 1,000 Watt Waterotor over the competition?

There is no proven competition that is operating or proven alternatively as a profitable technology; submerged in waterflow moving less than 6.5 mph! – Waterotor has proven both operation and low cost economic operation. – that no other form of turbine can match. Some have testaments to low speed operation, but cannot prove our low cost and high Coefficient of Power output in operational range (6.5 mph to 2 mph) that we globally own! Device is Portable (fits in the back of a truck), and up to 20 units in an ISO Container Device can be assembled on site (Customer will pour sand or concrete into two side molds to provide the weight/strength necessary to hold the Waterotor in place up to 2.68m/s water speeds) Device only needs minimum water depth Device can be relocated easily (2 to 3 men install or relocate) Completely molded out of very strong rotomolded plastic construction so it does not corrode in salt water (other components are high grade stainless steel) Operates without fuel cost that is needed to power traditional generators Generates power at around $0.05 to $0.10 kW-hour vs some Diesel generators at 5 to 10 times the price Waterotor is environmentally friendly, no fish or animal harm or disruption as the Ferguson blades on the Waterotor move in the direction of the flow at the speed of the water. Generates power 24 x7 whereas wind or solar is 20% peak output per 24 hour day.

Q: Does Waterotor compete with wind and solar?

Waterotor complements wind and solar and should be part of the overall solution when and where possible. The cost of Waterotor electricity is many times less expensive than either solar or wind since the depreciation and low manufacturing cost implemented by 24 hour 360 per year operation, delivers output; kilowatt per hour costs expected to be nearly as low as hydro dam energy. But with no dam building and environmental destruction.

Q: What is the worldwide average power consumption?

It is important to note that the average power consumption in the un-developed world is under 400 watts of power or 3,471 kW-hours per year per household. Only in Europe, Australia, Middle East and North America do households consume more power than the world average. North America (USA) averaged home electricity use is approximately 2.5 kilowatts per hour X each 24 hour period (22,000 kilowatt hours per averaged household per year)
