Elastomergeneratoren zur autonomen dezentralen Stromversorgung

Novel generators with dielectric elastomer films, developed by Fraunhofer ISC, generate electricity from low-energy water flow at a low flow rate and low water depth. As a noiseless, environmentally friendly and affordable alternative to conventional water-power plants they make new locations accessible and are suited for rural areas for an autonomous, decentralized power supply. The elastomer generators consist of durable materials and have a modular, scalable, and flexible setup for different locations such as small rivers and streams.
