Power Generation / Hydraulic Transmission / Kinetic Energy

Harnessing kinetic energy and extracting sustainable power with greater efficiency is now possible. Zelda is able to operate in forward and reverse direction. This dual direction allows us to pump up into a reservoir and then use gravitational flow to produce electricity in the same system. When the demand is higher we are then able to use the same system in reverse to generate electricity.

Just think about being able to produce electricity from the lost energy from effluent outlets or harnessing the power from rivers, waves and the wind. Zelda provides the ability to regain some of the energy that we put into delivering common services to our towns and cities.

Hydraulic Transmission

WindTrans was originally founded to make use of this innovative technology to develop a hydraulic transmission for the commercial wind turbine industry (hence the name WindTrans).

The mechanical transmission used almost exclusively in wind turbines today is very expensive, costly to maintain, has a limited 5 year warranty and is controlled and limited by numerous European patent holders.

The Zelda hydraulic transmission would address many of the short comings of conventional mechanical wind turbine transmissions. The Zelda II pump tests have proven that this technology can realistically and practically be extended to this application.

Zelda can be directly linked to a commercial wind turbine to pump city water. Since wind turbines operate at low rpm and high torque this has become an excellent technology fit.
