Humpback Hydro is the name of patented technology that was a Top 3 finalist in the "Excellence in Emerging Technology" category at the 2014 GLOBE Series Awards for Environmental Excellence.
Invented by Mark Legacy, from Vancouver, British Columbia, to provide a viable, cost effective, long term solution to the Energy~Water Nexus.
What is it?
Two independent expert research teams at Canada’s esteemed University of British Columbia have confirmed the capacity of Humpback Hydro Energy's award winning patented analog electricity production and storage design.
It is a stand alone concrete and steel structure that utilizes pump storage hydro to store energy by using the ocean, lake or river as the existing reservoir. This large “water battery”contains massive amounts of energy, renewable or otherwise, with no loss. The stored energy is available anytime back to the grid during peak power demand times for energy intensive industries like water desalination and steel manufacturing to powering the battery in your Tesla or smartphone.
Why it is important?
The wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine, so being able to accumulate the energy when produced is critical to powering a sustainable future in a green economy. Utility size energy storage is the missing piece to renewables because of the inherent problem in guaranteeing reliable energy to the grid. Our hydroelectric technology guarantees that energy is in constant supply with no toxic emissions emitted or finite fossil fuels to purchase. All countries can become sustainable with green energy and locally produced clean water . Desalinated water and electricity are produced in ocean installations, ideal for developing and island nations.
Imagine, if you will, building your community for the next hundred years, on unlimited electricity and clean water that you control.
