Vallant vertical propeller and turbine

by Primož Vallant last modified 02-04-2012 17:34

Innovative Vallant vertical propeller and turbine is used as propulsion and as electric power generator in wind and water.

Vallant vertical propeller and turbine is further development and optimization of Voith-Schneider propeller. Innovative design solves problems of most efficient, economical and ecological propulsion and electric power generation in air and water in broadest range of speeds using one system. This is achieved by freely adapting the blade angle and switching from propulsion to generator mode in milliseconds. 

  • It is probably the most efficient, economical, ecological and quietest electric generating turbine and propulsion propeller.
  • Most compact and dense, ultra light, ultra strong and ultra durable design of propeller and turbine with motor and generator so far. Extremely low center of gravity design.
  • Minimal mowing parts, minimal ware and tare, minimal friction in just few bearings. Life expectancy between 20 and 30 years.
  • The same design just with little adaptation can also be used as static self standing water power generator replacing hydroelectric power plants in a best sustainable and economical way with minimal impact on environment. It doesn't need dams and is suitable for river and sea hydroelectric power generation.

  • Milli seconds reaction to wind and water direction change or change direction of trust.
  • Unprecedented density of multiple wind and water generator close side by side, because of quick reaction to wind and water direction change and insensitivity from where wind and water comes, either laminar or turbulent flow.
  • Economical design. Needs much less or no tower as large wind generators do. Smaller and cheaper concrete fundament needed. No gears, direct drive. Minimal friction, wear and tear, moving parts are just bearings and seals. Long life, minimal service. Whole life easy software upgrades possible and big improvements in efficiency due to improved electronic control and optimization gained from later computerized numerical analysis.
  • Unprecedented maneuverability as propulsion propeller and stabilizer. No need for bow thrusters or additional stabilizers. Changing thrust direction and stabilization in milliseconds and while providing forward trust.
  • Ideally suited from small scale private home wind and water generator to large scale wind and water generator farms.
  • Ideally suited as wind electric generator and water electric propulsion from small scale boats, yachts, mega yachts, to largest marine vessels and ships for all purposes. From personal use, sport, commercial, tourist, cargo, tanker, to military, etc..
  • First time true ecological and sustainable boats, yachts, largest ships and marine vessels are possible powered exclusively by electricity generating sufficient power by them selfs from wind. For long range vessels batteries for storing electricity are needed to provide electricity for longer periods of no wind. We recommend use of our innovative Vallant movement electric power generator http://www.vallant.si/projects/innovative-new-movement-generator which generates electricity from wave movement to enable true pure electric vessel with minimal batteries needed.
  • Vallant water electric propulsion propeller is at the same time a water electric power generator, producing electricity while vessel is anchored or moored or even while vessel is coasting or needs breaking as sort of, first time ever, marine regenerative breaks. For instance in high seas when waves force a vessel to accelerate electric power generation is turned on in milliseconds to harvest excessive wave energy and turn back to propulsion when wave passes. Switching modes and directions always takes milliseconds and is fully automatic. No one else can do that. This greatly improves efficiency and minimizes quantity and power of needed batteries.
  • Unprecedented ranges possible for electric marine vessels and even no range limitations at all.
  • No more need for other generator and power sources, diesel generators and motors. It's time to say goodbye to very polluting and damaging carbon fossil fuels and carbon emissions.

As you can see we have very broad solution to current propulsion and electric power generation problems which will bring fundamental global changes in power generation and  water transport which will enable true transition to electric and zero carbon society.

Seeking Investors/Sponsors

We need money to further develop, test the design, make prototype and test it and begin production of this exciting innovation. Investing in it doesn't bring just future profits but also important and great ecological impact. This could really mean end of fossil fuel powered marine and air transport and beginning of truly efficient, economical, ecological and sustainable electric power generation from power of wind and water.
