What's the coolest thing you've ever seen?: A vortex-driven simple hydroelectric power plant that could revolutionize the way we utilize the potential of water for energy.

About that power plant ...

Here is the concrete structure of the vortex-forming basin without the turbine/generator. You can see the overflow and the very low head (altitude differential) needed for this type of plant.

And here a picture of the vortex actually driving a slow moving turbine (the turbine blades are made from simple bent metal sheets). Fish love it, because they can pass right through.

NEGATIVE ENTROPY AND SUSTAINABILITY

I am putting this article by T. Vijayendra here not because it is of immediate concern for swadeshi, but because I just read it and want to keep it available. In one of my early articles, A New Beginning For Thermodynamics, I argued that the second law of thermodynamics is not a final reality, but that there is a reverse force to entropy which complements it. Buckminster Fuller called that reverse entropy 'syntropy', and Viktor Schau… Continue

The fact that most of the "work" is done in making a basin for the water to move through, and that the generator component itself is very very simple feels to me like the right sort of engineering for the poor. Likewise fish-friendliness.

I'm very happy to find out about it, and more when I have done some reading.

Could you tell us more about it here:
