Sky Athena – HYDROLUME™
Project Overview
-
A Modular Micro-Hydro Energy System That Turns Water Flow Into Power – Anywhere.
HYDROLUME™ is a scalable, modular micro-hydro system that captures energy from low-flow water sources such as rivers, canals, wastewater channels, storm drains, and irrigation systems — without requiring dams, elevation, or large infrastructure.
Unlike traditional hydroelectric plants, HYDROLUME™ uses compact, inline turbine modules that can be dropped into existing water flows — delivering clean electricity to off-grid villages, farms, or urban infrastructure with minimal environmental impact.
It’s hydro reinvented: low-cost, low-impact, high-output.
-
No dam, no drop, no delay — turns any flow into power
-
Ideal for developing countries, agricultural economies
-
Provides both energy access and climate value in a single solution
-
Easily scalable across regions and use cases
Unique Features
-
Electrifying remote agricultural zones
-
Powering pumps, lighting, or telecom in rural areas
-
Municipalities generating electricity from canals or water management systems
-
Eco-resorts seeking off-grid sustainability
-
Smart cities seeking decentralized renewable infrastructure
- Inline Micro-Turbine Units
Each unit is the size of a barrel and can generate 1–10 kW depending on flow velocity. They can be deployed individually or in series for greater output. - Plug-and-Play Installation
No need for dams, elevation drops, or river diversions. Units are anchored within existing flowing water or pipes (gravity-fed systems, aqueducts, stormwater canals). - Smart Grid Compatible
Includes optional energy storage, grid injection controls, and IoT-based monitoring dashboard for maintenance and optimization. - Environmentally Neutral Design
Fish-safe, non-intrusive design ensures minimal ecological disruption and requires no structural alteration to water bodies. - Rural or Urban Ready
Suitable for farms, off-grid homes, irrigation systems, or even smart cities looking to harvest energy from drainage infrastructure. -
Revenue Models
-
Sale or leasing of HYDROLUME™ units to municipalities, NGOs, or energy startups
-
Licensing technology to governments or irrigation agencies
-
PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) in off-grid communities
-
Carbon credits and green infrastructure certification (ESG inclusion)
-
Investment Scope
-
Initial Capital Requirement: $120,000 – $180,000
-
Pilot deployment of 5–10 units in one location (canal, irrigation system, or small river)
-
Includes turbine manufacturing, IoT platform, testing, and installation
-
-
Estimated Output per Unit: 3–5 kW average
-
Cost per kWh Generated: As low as $0.03–0.05 after amortization
-
ROI Estimate: 18–30 months depending on location and sale model
