To combat the scarcity of reliable power, US Synthetic, Advantage Products, Inc., New Energy Corporation, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and Himalaya Currents, Inc. have teamed up to develop a local, sustainable, clean energy system that can provide Himalayan villages with continuous power. The clean energy project relies on an in-stream hydrokinetic power generation system that is submerged in a flume in a nearby river. The 5 kW EnCurrent power generation system converts kinetic energy in the river’s water current into electrical power. The pollution-free electricity is then transmitted to the village. As a humanitarian project, Advantage Products, Inc. is donating the EnCurrent power generation system developed by New Energy Corp. New Energy Corp. is providing project support and flume and weir design. US Synthetic is donating an environmentally friendly, grease-free Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) bearing
