Typically, the construction of hydropower plants is accompanied by the construction of huge dams and flooding areas.

However, for small power is enough power the average course. The Japanese company Ibasei introduced a compact hydraulic power unit of low power Cappa, the purpose of which electricity generated by individual consumers in remote areas, and also at liquidation of consequences of emergency situations.





Fundamentally, the design of the hydroelectric generator is nothing new. As usual, the blades rotate by water and result in movement of the rotor of the generator, which leads to the production of electricity. Small turbine does not need a dam, and any special excavation work for the installation. The increase in the rate of water flow and its stabilization is provided by a special diffuser, in which it is enclosed. The diffuser provides maximum water velocity at the location of the blade. The materials from which the turbine is made, 100% fit for recycling.

According to a company representative at a flow velocity of 2 meters per second, the generator power is 250 watts. It's not much, but enough for local consumption, particularly for battery charging. In addition, it is possible to increase the total capacity of the power plant, if you install several turbines in one place and to organize their work on a common load. To generate power of 1 KW, you will need, taking into account possible losses, combine five turbines Cappa.





The generator is designed for use in Japan. Therefore, its electrical parameters are in compliance with local standards. The device generates alternating current with frequency of 50-60 Hz and voltage of 100 volts.

Dam power plants need to ensure to maintain the high pressure and flow rate of water. In this case, a natural course. In order to use its capabilities to the maximum extent, the developer and future manufacturer of the turbine company Ibasei considers appropriate individual adjustment of each of his product under specific conditions.

Currently turbine Cappa is in the final stages of development and testing. The company hopes that the market their product will be available in 2013. The price of the underlying 250-watt instance will be about the same as a compact car.
