Hydro Kinetic Energy from Non Tidal Rivers This category is specifically related to the energy yielded from the weight and inertia of a large mass of slow moving water. Six different locations along the middle Missouri River have been assessed for minimum M/S requirements. Research and observation of specific conditions found at locations on the Mid section of the Missouri River since 2006 have resulted in the development of River Interface designs which are capable of capturing vast amounts of energy from .2 M/S to 2.6 M/S. Data developed and observed repeatedly over the past 14 years provides a practical and efficient way to interface and capture available energy. From the earliest site assessments on the Missouri River it was imperative to be in complete compliance with the U.S. Corp of Engineers, U.S.G.S., and the Coast Guard to avoid difficulties in permitting, and Engineering individual sites for Interface installations. Current designs in Hydro Kinetic Energy capture and development, can be utilized for Electric generation as well as Pumped Storage hydropower and Compressed Air Storage. There are approximately 7000 potential locations for HK energy capture without disturbing the River Bank, or the River Bottom. All foundations and connections are fully Shore side mounted and constructed. Sizes are currently in design from 180 KW to 480KW. Design refinements developed after HFI-1 initial construction will provide data and engineering to provide output of 2.1 MW. The U.S. Dept. of Energy has completed two separate studies of this resource, both can be accessed from thehkera.org and clearly outline over 88 TWH of available no fuel cost energy from the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.Cpwieser (talk) 22:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)(wiki energy projects)

Latest changes and updates to our Research and Development Proposals of the Non Tidal River Energy Capture are being outlined and Phased. PHASE 1, will establish an initial full scale site, utilizing our HFI-1 100' diameter machine, with ability to adapt and develop efficiency and scaling. Initial output can be easily measured and improved using CAS (compressed air storage) or electric generation. Start up output estimated at 180 KW with refinement and enlargements generating up to 448KW. I must emphasize the most significant point with this system is the complete foundation and machinery is completely on adjacent land beside the River resource. Our machine is cantilevered and counterbalanced as well as adjustable for height within and above the water. Completely retractable landside for maintenance and refinement. Initial thoughts on Phase one timeline is five years to develop a fully replicable unit capable of producing .5 MW each. PHASE 2, will establish an initial Array of Ten Units proposed to develop .5 MW each to provide an output of 4 MW total output. This will allow an overcapacity for safety. Future development and up sizing has been calculated and designs being considered up to 2.1 MW per unit. Per the Corp. of Engrs. data available as well as USGS data and Coast Guard Charts it is easy to consider and forecast 7000 or more locations along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.Cpwieser (talk) 20:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
