Nautical Torque Technology Information

Nautical Torque represents the first large scale baseload renewable capable of replacing fossil fuel and nuclear power. We have patented process that harnesses the free energy from the slow rise and fall of large vessels, such as ships and barges, that move up and down every day with the incoming and outgoing tide. Attached to a stationary system of gears on an immobile platform, the system generates electricity in a predictable manner due to the known variations of tidal flows. Because the tides are consistent and predictable, we can design our systems to insure continuous power. Because weight is the input source, the process easily scales up. More weight means more electricity. The lifting capacity of water is unlimited. Facilities will be near population centers and our equipment is neither offshore or underwater, which makes development and transfer costs much lower than other tidal and wave power. Fully scaled, our LCOE can be under $100/mwh, making it directly competitive with nuclear and fossil fuels. Our company is in its early stages of development and currently seeks to build prototypes and form partnerships necessary to bring this technology to the market. See Less
