Concrete Proposal towards “Hunza Power Supply Company”

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
خدا کسی قوم کو نہیں بدلتا جب تک کہ وہ اپنی حالت کو نہ بدلے

For the attention of GB government:

FLOATING HYDROELECTRIC GENERATOR AND PUMPING STATION:
Following link demonstrates the operation of this indigenously designed generator to produce cheap and sustainable energy directly from slow moving water in rivelets, rivers and canals throughout Pakistan. SEE: SDG-7

It produces cheap electricity for the region and beyond through technology implementable at village level, at the same time meant for pumping water to irrigate barren land all over GB thus creating a potential for poverty alleviation and thousands of jobs in coming decades. SELF HELP and TKN inherent within DJ goals as continuation of the three goals set at the time of launching of AKRSP, is the background. You can visit my blog read the details for implementation through the local entities such as the council, VO, WO and LSO.

This generating unit as well as improved versions can be mass manufactured in the existing workshop established by Norway for repair of turbines in Gilgit thus avoiding the need for additional infrastructure and associated budget.

PROTOTYPE-4 STATUS

What is a floating hydroelectric generator? Has such a generator been built anywhere in the world?

Yes, there are floating hydroelectric generators, also known as hydrokinetic turbines. These devices harness the energy of flowing water to generate electricity. They are typically anchored to the riverbed and float on the surface of the water, with the turbine submerged beneath.

While there are several companies developing and manufacturing these turbines, widespread commercial deployment is still relatively new. However, there are examples of successful installations in various locations around the world, particularly in rivers with strong currents.

One example is the Floating Drum Turbine (FDT) developed by Solar Impulse. This technology utilizes a floating turbine that extracts energy from water streams, even in slow-moving rivers and canals. It has been successfully deployed in several locations.

Another example is the hydrokinetic turbines developed by Smart Hydro Power. These turbines are designed to provide electricity to remote communities and have been installed in various locations around the world.

It's important to note that the feasibility of using floating hydroelectric generators depends on various factors, including water flow, depth, and environmental conditions. However, as technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more widespread adoption of these innovative renewable energy solutions.
