Severn Lake™ News
The latest news on The Severn Lake™ project, which covers
the development of the causeway, the lake and accompanying services.
February 2012
After six years of drifting slowly forward towards energy from
the Severn, it is warming up.
Companies, and individuals, are taking sides. It is early days.
This project will take in everyone!
It seems that Middle East money is there. We have a developer
in Halcrow and at last all parties are looking at detail, costs
and return. The Severn Lake contribution to this start is reported
below.
Report on Severn Lake
Tri-wall tri-pod Energy Build Sections
Patent No. GB 2 436 857B. 20.02.2008
The detailed paper on the invention published in Water &
Dam in 2011, some eight pages, is a technical masterpiece.
I do not intend to provide that in the promotion of this product,
on the contrary……..
The rise and fall of the Severn Estuary provides the potential
for power on ebb and flow. In le-Rance, France, power has been
taken for forty years, for a short period on ebb and flow, but
mostly ebb. Turbine technology is still not available.
The secret of the Tri-wall Tri-pod system is that it uses tried
and tested technologies in turbines and sluice gates which negate
any build or investment risk.
This ultimate design in the manufacture and build, transportation
to position (from any country) and the slotting in of the three
pod turbines is well within the remit of any structural design
engineers. There is no prototype or trial innovation required.
This invention and system could provide up to 15% of the UK energy
requirement from the Severn. For the avoidance of doubt, and for
the decision makers in this matter, this report has been published
on this website.
