BladeRunner Energy
BladeRunner Energy offers a scalable micro-hydro solution that harnesses the power found in the natural flow of water without the need for a dam. The system incorporates a proprietary rotor with design lines inspired by the natural motion of fluid for enhanced efficiency. The flexible power takeoff configuration allows for the generator and power electronics to be housed above the water, dramatically reducing costs while improving reliability. The small system size enables installation and storage by one person, resulting in an “energy when you need it” system.
