October 30, 2025Oct 30 Good MorningThe following was posted to the web 4 weeks agoThis document is for a retro fittable power production system for hydro dams to have up to three extra turbine banks without making issues for the main turbine hallNow the reason this type of system has not been looked at was two fold .. the loss of flow rate and back pressure issuesNow these two were said to me as the big issues and yes there are others but they are foreseen and can be overcomeAs all the worlds dams have the same basic layout regardless of the turbine fitted. That being water turbine shaft to shock uni joint to the power turbine. And so all have the same common limitationsA new type of turbine unit is needed if the main turbine hall is to function with without mods if multi bank units are to be placed in the flowThis new system will never match the output of the main turbine hall but after years of chasing miniscule increases a system like this one is a massive jump in outputAt this point it should be noted that most of the installation process can be made with the dam online selling power to the grid and there is no increase in water usage when fully installedThis system has been designed to be fully independent of the main turbine hall so as to be serviceable with the other units online and running with the main hallA FEW OBVIOUSE POINTSEven if our numbers were to fall we are still in a situation of heading to a power shortfall outcome things like data centers e cars and a hole host of other techThe lag time at best for any new system to get online is 2-3yrs at best ( unless ur the snowy river ) and i believe we are well short of filling the markets needsOTHER BENIFITS OF THIS UNITIs a dam green tech? well its more recyclable than wind and solarlasts 100 plus years vastly more than the othersIt should be noted if the patent is very strongly protected the market will come to the seller even if that is Australia or America so a 100 billion dollar a year marketplace makes the wage bill a non-issueSOME OF THE BIG BENIFITSBigger market share/customer baseAll the required infrastructure is already in placethe asset has a longer life spanNo issues regardless of type of the main turbine fittedNo added down timeAND ITS TRUE BASELOAD POWER from a existing dam
