Our water vortex engineering strike a new part in hyraulical engineering.
In numerous international conferences we could make a compelling presentation of our water vortex engineering - a technology to treat the water carefully and to regenerate this most important human resource.
Our primary task was to clear the water in a swimming pond with natural sustainable methods. We also want to find a possibility to increase the biological decomposition of pollutants and nutrients in the water. Less nutrient in the decomposition water reduces also the absorbabilitiy of water relative to sunlight. So it is suitable, that the temperature of water in the summer will be moderate.
In search of solutions we are especially interesting to find the mechanism of biological decomposition in natural rivers. So we created a model of a natural selfpurification unit of a natural river. It consists of an aeration zone and a zone of biological decomposition:
On the water surface after for example a stone, many little water vortex suck air in the water. If the water transports nutrient water, plants will develop well and build up a biological decomposition zone. Unfortunately we have to assert that these units of natural selfpurification will be found in natural rivers but not in regulated rivers. Futher advisements lead us to our patented rotation tank with a gigantic single water vortex inside. The water vortex is a concentrated water aeration zone and can be integrated in a circulation conduit of a man-made pond or in a regulated river to activate the selfpurification. Below you can see the structure of a river years ago, today and in the future:
Finally we have seen that these aeration or rotation tanks can be used as a novel water power plan. Our first so called (gravitation) water vortex power plan has been successful on the public electrical net since September 2005 and produces green electricity. We are happy to offer you a seminal technology, which can constantly be used for improving the quality of water and produce green energy. The hydroelectric power production get a new quality - it is equal-zero-emission but also positive for our elixir water in the future.

We get essential results researching a giant water vortex with a vertical axis of rotation - the so called gravitation water vortex:
Properties of the gravitation water vortex:
The gravitation water vortex
-
increase the water surface area.
-
maximize the velocity of flow on the water surface area.
-
disseminate homogeneously contaminants in the water.
-
increase the contact surface of the disseminate contaminants for microorganisms and water plants.
-
aerate the water naturally, because of the high velocity of flow on the water surface area and the increased water surface area, to support the selfpurification of water with microorganisms and water plants.
-
increase the heat of evaporation and so water can reduce the temperature itself at rising temperatures in the summer.
-
build up a peripheral zone of ice in the winter to isolate the center of the vortex.
-
concentrate dense water (water at 4°C) in the ring-shaped centre to ensure the survival of microorganisms as long as possible.
-
decelerate the flow of water, so it can be used as a active retention pond.
-
concentrate rotation energy in the ring-shaped centre and so it can be used for a water power plan.
