Company Creates Hydroturbine Similar to a Small Hydroelectric Plant That Generates Renewable Energy Day and Night
The creation of the Belgian company Turbulent is similar to a small hydroelectric plant and is capable of generating renewable energy at any time. The hydroturbine project consists of a small hydroelectric plant, capable of producing renewable energy with low impact on the environment. The technology, named Vortex Turbine, creates a whirlpool of water to generate electricity.

Micropower Plant Generates Enough Renewable Energy to Supply 1,750 Homes
The hydroelectric micropower plant is ideal for rural areas and regions lacking electrical grids. The turbine can be installed in rivers, canals, and streams, generating energy with almost zero CO2 emissions. Unlike large dams, it requires a height difference of only 1.5 to 5 meters to operate.

Santa Catarina harvested 7.85 million tons of grains and exported 2 million tons of meat in 2025: a growth of almost 6% in the food industry, which is four times higher than the national average and drives the entire Brazil.
The new technology from the renewable energy hydroelectric micropower plant removes the complexities associated with traditional plants and replaces them with simple components. A single Turbulent turbine is capable of generating up to 200 kilowatts, which can provide power for about 1,750 homes in rural or off-grid communities.
A New Technology for the Market – Small Hydroelectric Plant
Hydroelectric technology is considered a clean and renewable energy source. Energy is generated from the conversion of kinetic and potential energy of falling water into rotational shaft energy, which can be used to drive an electricity generator.
However, several studies have recorded a number of damages caused to fish that often enter the hydroelectric structure and get harmed.
The risks include skin injuries, scale loss, fin issues, hemorrhages, bruises, body part amputations, and internal injuries. This is because conventional plants are often equipped with Pelton, Kaplan, or Francis turbines.
These turbines are known for the high fish mortality they cause due to their high rotational speeds, pressure changes, and forces.
