We’re on a mission to transform any form of moving water into ultra low-cost renewable energy. Our technology harnesses the power of wave swell, tides, rivers, dams, and even pipe networks to power the planet. Welcome to change in motion.
Can be used by anyone with access to flowing water
Power fed directly into the grid
Bigger than wave energy
Our technology is built different. Rather than using the oscillation of waves, our Hydro Helix Turbine innovation channels horizontally focused kinetic energy directly into a renewable power source. That means more reliable renewable energy, more power, and more applications.
Any water, anywhere, power for anyone

Our Technology
We convert untapped global wave swell, tidal, river, and zero head dam energy into megawatt-scale renewable energy. That’s what makes us unique and that’s what makes our technology a gamechanger for renewable energy. Our innovations work together with existing renewable energy sources to help speed up the world’s transition to green power.
the break
Optimised wave energy
When a wave breaks for the third time on the shoreline, there is more energy in that tertiary action than there is in the oscillation of any swell. Our flagship technology, the break, captures the primary breaking energy by causing it and converting it.
From the Pacific to the Atlantic, to the Indian, and all the oceans in between, we can break any wave, anywhere, to provide energy for anyone.
80% efficiency
Optimises power by focusing broken wave into the Hydro Helix Turbine
Pivots to face the direction of oncoming swell
Non-invasive, low cost, readily available natural ballast
Works in 1ft to 5ft swell
the flow
Multi-use low velocity hydro applications
Creating new megawatt-scale potential for hydro power, the flow captures energy from any moving body of water that can flow through it. It concentrates flowing water into the Hydro Helix Turbine, converting lateral kinetic energy into power that can be fed directly into the grid.
This multi-use solution can be used in tidal stream environments, dams, and rivers by generating renewable energy from low velocity flowing water.
Estimated>90% efficiency
Optimises power by focusing water into the Hydro Helix Turbine
Modular design for easy installation and maintenance
Harnesses energy from tidal environments, dams, and rivers
Works whether it’s partially or fully submerged
Tides
Works in low velocity tidal environments close to shore, for predictable energy generation.
Dams
Can be installed in zero head dam and weir spillways, creating new hydro power opportunities.
Rivers
Produces power from shallow or deep rivers in metropolitan areas with affordable installation.
the pipe
Energy from pipe networks in cities and towns
A revolution in municipal power generation, the pipe produces energy from existing and new pipe networks. This groundbreaking equipment can generate megawatt-scale baseload renewable energy from any gravity fed municipal water distribution system. The Hydro Helix Turbine operates predictably for consistent power generation at up to 100% efficiency.
Using existing infrastructure, the pipe provides a low-cost and convenient renewable energy source for our cities and towns.
Up to 100% efficiency
Suitable for untreated, treated and waste-water pipe networks
Low-cost installation and servicing
Compatible with conventional steel pipe connections of any diameter
Uses existing pressure of gravity fed municipal pipe networks
It’s time to look to water for affordable renewable energy
If the sun isn’t shining or wind isn’t picking up, we need another renewable energy source. The ocean and other water sources are a huge, untapped energy source that provides reliable power on a large scale. Embracing this opportunity will make a major contribution to addressing climate change.
