Funding Raised · Ann Arbor, Michigan · founded 2004 · 1 employees$5Mraised▾
Developer of point absorbers. VIVACE converter, unlike water turbines, does not use propellers but instead uses the phenomenon of vortex-induced vibration in which water current flows around cylinders inducing transverse motion. The set-up includes boxes with cylinders placed on the bottom of the river which move up and down when the currents create vortices. Each bobbing cylinder moves a magnet up and down a metal coil creating a DC current.
