Hydropower generates more electricity than any other renewable source, yet many systems remain passive, leaving energy untapped.
Emily Morris and Thorsten Stoesser developed a modular solution that actively directs water toward turbines inside existing canals.
No major construction. Just more energy from infrastructure already in place. Now deployed across ~19 000 km of waterways in the US.
Finalists for the 2026 European #InventorAward.
