What better place to develop a water and wind power solution than in one of the wettest, windiest cities in the world? WaterLily is developed by Seaformatics, a Canadian company that specializes in hydropower solutions. Seaformatics is headquartered in historic St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, North America’s easternmost city.
WaterLily is derived from seven years of subsea power harvesting research. The original turbine, called SeaLily, measured almost six feet in diameter and converted energy from deep-sea currents into power for ocean instrumentation. In 2017, SeaLily’s technology was reduced from six feet to six inches to create WaterLily.
Today, WaterLily comes in two models, USB and 12V, and is sold online and shipped around the world, with customers in over 50 countries.
