Oosterschelde Proposal: https://lnkd.in/eXy6kFUm
The Energy Chain, which is dedicated to the 17.4 million people of the Netherlands, has published its first post of the year. At high tide, the Oosterschelde is dammed up, and at low tide, the water flows into the North Sea at high speed. Between the piers of the barrage are drums containing six adjustable rotor blades each. These are driven by the current and connected by intermediate rotor discs to form a shear- and torsion-resistant frame girder with a nine-metre diameter. These rotor drums, with their adjustable blades, rotate at speeds up to five times faster than the current. Channeled through the existing barrage, they could generate an unlimited amount of energy. When the P-P' diameter is oriented perpendicular to the flow direction, the suction side of the asymmetrical blade profiles alternates between the inside and outside of the orbit. This causes the asymmetrically profiled adjustable rotor blades to generate tangential propulsive forces from lift in the flow-oriented and downstream half of the orbit.

Floating on a River: https://lnkd.in/esTKEnbX
RES-Floating Turbine German Patent Granted: https://lnkd.in/ea2iajMR
International Patent Pending: https://lnkd.in/dhk7TFBi
Energy can be harvested where the water is flowing. The floating turbine comprises a float that houses the generator and is connected to the underwater rotor by a coaxial and concentric shaft. The upper surface of the float is covered with photovoltaic cells. The rotor blades are interconnected at their upper and lower ends by ring beams and arranged at a radial distance from the shaft by tension spokes. The suction side of the rotor blades feature a variable asymmetric foil profile and are aligned in the direction of the flow by means of integrated actuators within both halves of the orbit, which is divided by the diameter P, P'.

Bridge Integrated Water Turbine: https://lnkd.in/eyU7n5SB
The patent https://lnkd.in/gFesNkZY shows a broad universality for fluid machines serving different purposes.
The RES water turbine uses wing-integrated actuators to alter the shape of its asymmetric wing. In both halves of the orbit, the suction side faces leeward. This provides an ecologically safe buoyancy runner that fish can pass in both directions. Therefore, the turbine can be used as a run-of-river power plant on inland waterways, a tidal power plant on suitable stretches of coastline and a submarine hydroelectric power plant. In this design, the rotor blades comprise leading, middle and trailing sections, with the middle section forming a rigid longitudinal beam. Actuators arranged in sections reverse the suction side of blades with diameters P and P' twice per revolution.
