Hydro-electric generation method and system with saltwater flume for aquaculture

摘要

Embodiments that generate electrical power via hydro-electric systems that employ man-made flumes configured to support saltwater aquaculture are disclosed. Various embodiments pump water, such as saltwater or freshwater, into supply a man-made flume. The embodiments may generally employ a blade assembly to harness wind power and drive a mechanical pump that transfers the water into the man-made flume. The flumes in different embodiments may contain different forms of aquaculture, such as shrimp, fish, and crabs. As water flows through the flume, the continual fresh supply may continually aerate the water in the flume to support the aquatic life. Water exiting the flume may impact a turbine that is coupled to a generator to generate electrical power.
