Our inventions
in a nutshell |

|
Tsunami
Barrier,
our latest break-through invention is the ultimate
solution to protect densely populated and industrial
areas from events as occurred in December 2004.
This type of Barrier has been
especially designed to protect designated tsunami prone
areas. It is aimed as to effectively break down and
neutralize the impact of tsunami waves, independently
from any coastal warning stystem. It is applicable in
either a bay shape or stretched coast line. In
addition, under normal circumstances it does not
interrupt shipping nor marine life.

Self Closing
Flood Barrier, a
stand-alone flood defence system to protect people
and property from inland waterway floods caused by heavy
rainfall, gales or rapid melting snow. Its automatic
rapid reaction to upcoming floods has proven to provide
optimal protection against high water levels. The
system is invisibly applicable in any existing dike or
quay.
Note: this invention has already
received 6 awards, most prominent of which: Best Civil
Technical Invention of the World.

Rotating
Floating Airport,
serving as a twin for
a conventional inland airport to be relieved from
congestions on the ground and in the air.
This
concept offers a unique efficient, highly cost effective
and more environment friendly alternative to airports
located in/near densely populated coastal areas, with
direct transport connection to the mainland by an
underground tube line.
Note:
this invention was qualified for the nomination of the
Dutch ID-NL 2004 Award.

(Tide) Water powered Turbine,
leads
the way to generate electric power from tide and river
currents, a tremendous cost effective and environment
friendly solution.
Through this
invention, the water current velocity is accelerated up
to 5 times its original stream speed. In principle, to
generate power at a fraction of the operational cost of
a hydro power station, with no harm to the environment.
Small or large scale applications feasible.
Note:
this invention was nominated for the
National Dutch Millennium
2000 Award.
|
Oil Recovery Vessel,
especially developed
for the purpose to substantially enhance speed and
capacity to recover oil spills from an oil disaster at
sea.
With a cruising speed of 25 – 30
knots it responds much faster to the disaster scene and
by its concept this type of vessel is to collect 500
tons of slick with an average speed of 5 knotts per
hour. No intermediate slick discharge in nearest port is
required as
slick is pumped in separate floating rubber containers
during cleaning activity as long as it takes.
Note: this invention has received the
Innovation 2000 Award.
