Turbulent's hydroelectric turbines are aiming to provide cheap, easy to maintain power to regions of the world that haven't been able to harness hydro power yet. The design creates a vortex using a small turbine, making it possible to use smaller and weaker sources of water, and without harming wildlife or damming up any streams and rivers. The power stations are also easy to maintain with minimal training, which is a huge barrier in establishing power in poorer parts of the world.
