Since it is a reciprocating motion, debris and floating objects like garbage and grass are less likely to get tangled. It can generate power even in shallow rivers. It serves as a low-cost flow meter for flood prediction without the need for an external power source.
Hydro-VENUS generates electricity by slowly oscillating a sturdy pendulum. Its simple shape compared to propellers offers high strength and minimizes the likelihood of entangling debris or vegetation. It can be used as a flow meter by utilizing the principle that the amount of electricity generated changes according to the flow rate. Since it is a generator itself, it does not require an external power source, making it low-cost, and it can efficiently generate electricity even in shallow rivers and channels as long as the pendulum's amplitude is sufficient. It is being deployed in many small to medium-sized rivers that do not have flow meters or water level gauges for river management, and by utilizing AI with the flow rate data collected, a system for wide-area flood prediction is under development.
