Ensure that renewable electricity is produced in a way that does not have a negative impact on nature? Is this possible? Absolutely!
The benefits of generating electricity with the Archimedes screw
Energy from running water is an alternative energy source with the highest efficiency – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! And with the least impact on nature.
An investment that will pay for itself many times over over its lifetime:
- Easy to install in existing locations (dams, old mills);
- Friendly to fish, which can travel in both directions without getting hurt;
- Inaudible to the surroundings;
- Long lifetime and minimal maintenance costs;
- Automatic adjustment to changing water levels.


Some very simple conditions to install a power plant using an Archimedes screw:
- The right to install the power plant at the chosen location;
- Maximum distance to the electricity grid 500m – if the power plant is not intended to operate “off grid”;
- The height of the dam shall be at least 1.5 m. Depending on the water capacity and the number of screws, such plants range from 1kW (micro) to 1 MW (large).
