In much of the Global North and Global South, continuous clean electricity remains painfully expensive. Not because the energy isn’t there — but because the systems to harness it were never designed for our realities. Solar + BESS and Wind + BESS is intermittent and costly. Fossil baseload is entrenched. And typical hydro/tidal technologies often fail in turbulent, high-flow environments. Propel & Power Limited was born from that pain. We’ve developed patented, proprietary bladeless turbines engineered specifically for the chaotic, high-velocity flows found in hydroelectric spillways, tidal currents, rivers, and even ship-based propulsion systems. These turbines are marine-safe, modular, and digitally optimised — designed to thrive where traditional blades fail. They don’t just generate power. They unlock stranded energy from infrastructure that already exists. Spillways with roaring flows. Ports with tidal surges. Rivers with predictable currents. All within reach of the grid. All with existing permits. All waiting to be activated. Our turbines are deployable close to coastlines, within grid proximity, and without the need for new land or dams. That means lower CapEx, faster deployment, and radically improved economics — especially for regions where affordability is non-negotiable. This is not just innovation. It’s energy justice. It’s continuous clean power that listens to the landscape, the communities, and the urgency of the moment.

About me

I am the inventor and patent holder of a new water turbine that surpasses the traditional Betz‑limit constraints through a novel hydrodynamic design. This technology delivers significantly higher efficiency than conventional bladed turbines in both modes of operation: generating electricity from natural water flows and providing propulsion for vessels.

My work focuses on advancing clean marine energy and developing next‑generation propulsion systems that can support a more sustainable maritime sector.

I have a background in Electrical engineering.

I live in Glasgow, Scotland with my family, and work professionally as a Software Engineer.
