Portable Hydropower Plant
Blue Freedom
Blue Freedom is a very small and light hydropower generator, 20 cm in diameter and weighing only 400 grams. It only requires access to flowing water to produce and store electrical energy in an environmentally friendly way. The micro turbine, which is enclosed in an ergonomically shaped ring, provides eco-friendly energy for the operation of numerous small electrical devices – even in the most remote parts of the world. It contributes to both the preservation of an ecological balance and biodiversity.
Statement by the Jury
The outstanding innovation of the compact Blue Freedom is that it only requires flowing water to produce completely eco-friendly electricity.
