Disruptive Innovation

Conventional wisdom = ??

= OK

A long time ago, water wheels were used on rivers for a lot of things,

Then electricity is discovered

electric motor invented by Faraday

Then the steam engine was invented

which together brought the

industrial revolution

Water wheel plus steam also moved goods

It’s called a turbine

water wheel is connected to electric motor

Impulse turbine

Kaplan

Tubular Francis /S

Bulb

Diagonal

Reaction turbine

Thoma

Cross Flow

Turgo

Pit

Axial Flow

Fancis / Mixed

Water Wheel

Pelton

Propeller

Many different kinds of turbines

Bigger and BIGGER..

Then they built dams

inside the dam wall

and put the water wheel

using the force of the water flow,

But: dams cause problems

so, they put the turbines

next to the river

and use coal for steam from the river water

But: coal cause problems…

Now we have a situation…...

So they

cut trees

rivers

Next to…

And burnthem

So; from environmentally friendly

to this……….

There are solutions ……

Old technologies - not scalable

Newer Designs not always suitable

A Power Pontoon floats

No construction needed

The latest award winning idea

Improved water wheel

Small,

or BIG
