Residential Vortex Turbine
RESIDENTIAL VORTEX TURBINE
The KCT is a vortex turbine, which operates using the spin of water descending, in the waterway, to the reservoir or on land.
The KCT harnesses the energy in a vortex, drawing from the Coriolis Force to produce approximately 27% more electricity than a conventional turbine.
WATERWAY EMBODIMENT OF KCT
TRANSPORTABLE EMBODIMENT OF KCT
Ground assembly
A KCT vortex turbine visualized being installed in-ground.
Existing Mill
The KCT can be installed alongside existing hydro-technologies, contributing to electricity generation by harnessing areas that the existing turbines cannot.
Waterfall
No dam required: a KCT can be installed on a natural slope, placed at the bottom of a fall (minimum 60cm)
Sloped install
The KCT can be installed on a gradual slope, with an extended inlet pipe.
Ground assembly: In Series
The KCT installed in series, in parallel, demonstrating the versatility of the installations.
In ground parallel
A KCT hydro vortex turbine unit can be installed in-parallel, and as visualized is installed only on a single concrete base: minimizing the need for heavy civil works and dramatically decreasing cost.
THE PIPELINE (PICO) EMBODIMENT OF KCT
The Pico KCT is a micro hydro vortex turbine inside a small chamber, with a DC generator on top. It delivers electrical energy in DC at any voltage required.
The Pico unit does not affect the flow of the system due to the suction of the vortex. In addition, there is minimal impact to the water pressure. As with any KCT unit, power will be generated at any time when water is flowing through the vortex system; enabling the Pico to supply power to the battery of a multitude of micro devices, such as a smart water meter.
EXPONENTIAL POWER INCREASE
The graph supports the proposition that vortex power is an improved form of hydroelectric production over conventional head of pressure hydrology. The graph shows that watts to liters/second of water flow and vortex power appears to increase in an exponential curve, as vortex size increases. The power does not appear to increase lineally, as the standard formulas would dictate.
With the KCT, power increases exponentially because the volume/mass increases exponentially with vortex size due to πr2 x depth. Accordingly, a vortex chamber of 2m x 2m = 6.28m3/tons whereas a vortex chamber of 4m x 4m = 50.24m3/ton.
