Startup Hydro Wind Energy reveals the OceanHydro Omni, a disruptive technology that aims to solve three of the biggest challenges of the 21st century: low-cost clean electricity, grid scale energy storage, and water scarcity. All three of these solutions can be solved with offshore wind using vertical axis wind rotors and offshore based kite systems.
Unlike traditional floating wind turbines, the OceanHydro Omni makes use of high-altitude, ocean-based kites and vertical axis wind rotors. This means that it utilizes wind for mechanical lift instead of converting it directly to electricity, thus reducing the cost of desalination by 90% compared to all other technologies. Compared to conventional wind turbines, the Omni is far more efficient at power generation, storage, and dispatch. On a somewhat related note, did you know that this 1963 Chrysler Turbine car actually exists?

Our technology is ultimately about structural design, systems integration and automation rather than making quantum leaps in technology development. It’s in essence a simple technology with immense potential for impact in the shortest possible time. What we are doing is combining existing and proven technologies in a novel way to solve some very big challenges while simultaneously reducing costs,” said Lee King, CEO and co-founder of Hydro Wind Energy.
