SUSTAINABLE POWER
The Axial Skelter generates clean energy from one of the world’s most abundant and reliable energy sources: flowing water. Inspired by nature, the Axial Skelter is shaped just like the Turritella seashell. Naturally rotating in water, it harnesses water flows to produce up to 500KW sustainable energy per unit - that's enough to brew over 250,000 cups of tea every day!
SIMPLE, MODULAR DESIGN
The Axial Skelter brings something that the industry has needed for a long time: simplicity. Our technology has only one moving part and is made from fully recyclable, 3D-printed segments.
Part by part, it can be printed in less than a week, transported in standard shipping containers, and assembled almost anywhere. Best of all, these segments can be easily swapped out or removed, making installation, maintenance and transportation simple.
SCALABLE FOR EVERY NEED
The Axial Skelter is easily scaled up or down in size, and with extensive 3D printing, and commercially available components, it’s cheap and quick to produce. It can be customised to fit your energy needs and works for projects of all sizes. From homes and businesses to larger communities, our solution makes clean, reliable water energy more affordable than ever.
Easy transport
Delivered as a kit in a standard shipping containers.
Easy Installation
Installation can be done using locally available vessels and equipment.
Simple care
Sits just below the water surface, with all components easily accessible.
Durable
Designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and harsh environments.
Gentle on aquatic life
No sharp edges or fast-moving parts, our seashell is friendly to all water creatures.
Let’s make it work for you
Generate your own clean energy from moving water near you. Whether you’re looking to power a small community, a large-scale project, or something in between, the Axial Skelter is designed to adapt to your needs. Choose from flexible options: purchase directly, license our technology, collaborate on a custom solution, or partner with us to bring it to your region.

The planet is depending on us to innovate and work together for a greener future. The rise of renewable energy systems brings hope, but only by combining them now and quickly can we reach net zero by 2050. Moving water is one of the planet’s greatest and most reliable untapped resources, abundant across the globe. By harnessing the power of rivers, tides, and other water bodies, we can create clean energy that works alongside other renewables.
