2. Disruptive Innovation

3. = OK
Conventional wisdom = ??

4. A long time ago, water wheels were used
on rivers for a lot of things,

5. Then electricity is
discovered

6. electric motor invented by Faraday

7. Then the steam engine was invented

8. which together brought the
industrial revolution

9. Water wheel plus steam also moved goods

10. water wheel is connected to electric motor
It’s called a turbine

11. Many different kinds of turbines
Turgo
Impulse turbine Cross Flow
Pelton
Fancis / Mixed
Propeller
Water Wheel
Axial Flow Kaplan
Thoma
Reaction turbine
Bulb
Tubular Francis /S
Pit
Diagonal

12. Then they built dams
Bigger and BIGGER..

13. and put the water wheel
inside the dam wall

14. using the force of the water flow,

15. But: dams cause problems

16. so, they put the turbines
next to the river

17. and use coal for steam from the river water

18. But: coal cause problems…

19. Now we have a
situation…...

20. So they
cut trees

21. And burn
them
Next to…
rivers

22. So; from environmentally friendly

23. to this……….

24. There are solutions ……

25. Old technologies - not scalable

26. Newer Designs not always suitable

27. A Power Pontoon floats
No construction needed

28. The latest award winning idea
Improved
water wheel

29. Small,

30. or BIG
