HANNA TURBINE
The Hanna Turbine was invented in 2009 by John Hanna founder of the original ELF (Environmental Life Force). The Hanna wave energy conversion turbine was granted a U.S. utility patent, number 8,358,026 which was issued January 22, 2013. The special turbine which the inventor calls a "WETGEN" (Wave Energy Turbine GENerator), operates in a bi-directional air flow environment developed by an Oscillating Water Column (OWC). Regardless of the air flow direction, these self-rectifying turbines will only spin in one direction. The Hanna Turbine was developed to be an improvement over the Wells Turbine which was invented by Alan Wells in the 1970's
John Hanna has also invented another wave energy converter which is a mechanical direct-drive device. This mechanical power take-off (PTO) was granted a U.S. utility patent, number 8,745,981 which was issued June 10, 2014.
