Gravitational water vortex electricity plants are a new solution in renewable energy production, and the concept is starting to gain more attention worldwide as a sustainable and environment friendly technology. The first such plant was built in Switzerland in 2009 and was named after innovation pioneer Dr. Bertrand Piccard, inventor of the solar-power airplane and the first man to fly around the world in a hot-air balloon.
The gravitational water vortex technology is an example that progress is possible using clean, reliable and renewable forms of energy.
“With renewable energy you can do impossible things.” – Dr. Bertrand Piccard
Environmental Impact
One of the most important factors for innovations in renewable power generation is to have minimal impact on the environment, while being mutually beneficial to human populations and nature. The water vortex plant is built on top of river beds, with most of the construction work done underground, therefore minimizing above ground environmental impact. With effective landscaping, the plant could be essentially invisible. The technology within the plant is also safe for the organisms living in waterways.
