Innovative Projects W.E.T.E.R and V.O.D.A - A Сlean Energy Future
The WETER LLC team is developing two innovative technical solutions that generate electricity using different energy sources and technological processes: a wind energy complex (W.E.T.E.R project) and a hydroelectric power plant (V.O.D.A project). As a result of the research, calculations, and modeling of the structures of two different power generating devices, an optimal solution was found for combining them in one object – a building or structure with a height of 156 m.

The V.O.D.A project. Each hydroelectric power plant is integrated into one structure forming a building, and the process of generating electric energy is based on the natural laws of nature. Due to the kinetic energy of the moving liquid, electricity is generated in a housing partially filled with water with a constant volume. The platform moves vertically in the case. The platform is equipped with means of giving it positive or negative buoyancy in the form of a cavity alternately filled with air or water, and channels (holes).
The generation of electricity by a generator connected to a turbine on a platform, which sets the movement alternately down and up by the force of gravity and the buoyant force by the liquid of the platform (the Archimedes force), respectively. When the platform moves down (negative buoyancy), liquid flows through the holes and channel of the movable module from the cylindrical space under the piston into the cylinder cavity above the platform. When the platform moves upwards (positive buoyancy), the liquid flows in the opposite direction. This cyclic movement of the liquid sets the rotation of the turbine and the generation of electricity by the generator. The cavity at the bottom of the platform creates positive buoyancy for the mobile module (upward movement).
Pressure relief in the cavity above and below the platform is carried out by mechanical valves, which determine the use of an additional generator drive turbine. When the pressure is released, the air passing through the built-in channel enters the blades of the additional turbine and rotates it, transferring the rotation to the generator that generates electricity.
The W.E.T.E.R project. Wind energy complex receives, concentrates and directs the flow of air (wind), converts its kinetic energy into electrical energy. The main elements of the wind energy complex for energy generation are: static axis; rotors (blade systems) connected to generators and forming separate modules; aerodynamic shields; buildings formed by radial structures; module frame at the level of every three floors; generators; aerodynamic shield.
The streamlined shapes of the structures forming the building concentrate the flow of air entering the internal cavity formed by the structures, where aerodynamic shields optimize and direct air flows tangentially to the circumference of rotation of the blade systems, which increases the efficiency of the energy of the air flow. Aerodynamic shields prevent the negative effect of the airflow on the rotation of the blade systems and reduce the noise effect. Moreover, the rotation speed of the blade systems does not depend on the direction of the air flow, but only on its strength.
The proposed scheme of combined construction of electric generating devices increases the efficiency and power of electric generation, its duration and reduces dependence on weather conditions. Such a systematic approach may be in demand for the production of electricity using environmentally friendly energy sources, will contribute to the development of alternative energy sources and the creation of new infrastructure facilities in cities and industrial facilities.
