GET A PIECE OF HYDRO WIND ENERGY, INC.
We are developing a disruptive technology to solve 3 of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, low cost clean electricity, grid scale energy storage, and seawater desalination. All ultimately from wind offshore using vertical axis wind rotors and offshore based kite systems. We have also developed and commercialized the world's only low cost handheld seawater desalination device (QuenchSea) for humanitarian purposes, disaster relief, and the marine sector.
THE PROBLEM - OHO
There is a global need for clean, affordable and secure energy. The global energy market is currently sized at $6 trillion, and energy demand is expected to grow by one-third by 2040. The world still sources 84% of its energy from fossil fuels. (source, source)
Many of the environmental problems the world faces today—including climate change, ocean acidification, droughts, extreme weather, carbon emissions, and air pollution—are all a direct result of our dependence on fossil fuels.
The world needs to transition to renewables; but, the main problem with conventional renewables is that they have failed to outcompete with fossil fuels on cost, scalability, power and energy density. In addition, they are either intermittent, variable or both and no cost effective energy storage solution has been found to absorb the volatility of renewables or to dispatch them on demand.

THE SOLUTION - OHO
Source: Equinor
The technology we are developing will potentially open up the ability to exploit offshore wind power in deep waters at significantly reduced cost, compared to conventional wind turbines, offshore floating wind, or evolving marine and kite energy technologies.
Current wind turbines are unable to access offshore wind in deep waters, and are limited to shallow waters of no more than 60m depth and heights of 150m. In addition, wind turbines convert the wind directly to electrical energy, giving a low conversion efficiency of 35% with variable power and energy output. In contrast, we use vertical axis rotors solely to provide mechanical power to lift, altering the buoyancy of a submerged pressure vessel and fully absorbing the volatility of winds from 4m/s right up to 40 m/s. Water flooding into an empty pressure vessel at sea depth is used to generate electricity through a hydroelectric turbine (similar to hydro power). This in comparison gives a hydro-electrical conversion efficiency of 90% with the added benefit of energy storage and on-demand dispatchable power—the two missing links to a future powered by renewables. (source, source)
Our technology is a combination of a form of pumped hydro storage and wind power—a hybrid system that combines wind and subsea energy storage. It uses the same principles as pumped hydro storage; but, instead of using a dam, we are using sea depth, individual pressure vessels, and subsea pressure to obtain the same results using a hydroelectric turbine.
This technology has the potential to be a game changer for the 21st century—in terms of developing a renewable energy system that has the potential to outcompete fossil fuels on power density, energy density, cost and scalability, while also expected to provide dispatchable and reliable power generation to the grid. In addition, it's ultimately wind power, which eliminates carbon emissions entirely from power production.
This technology is anticipated to rapidly accelerate the transition to renewables and worldwide electrification, thereby lowering the cost of energy and increasing security of supply. The main objective is to provide unsubsidised reliable electrical energy. The technology is extremely disruptive from the current state of the art, yet utilizes existing and proven technology in a new area.

The scarcity in accessible fresh water is becoming a more severe threat to the prosperity and sustainability of all human societies. Over 2 billion people do not have access to clean water (UN) and over two thirds of the world's population live in water scarce regions (source). Globally there is an urgent need to provide a low cost effective solution to the world’s water crisis that is accessible to all nations.
The world population is expected to grow from 7.4 billion in 2017 to 9.9 billion in 2050, adding tremendous risk of water stress. Along with other megatrends, such as urbanization, modern agriculture and industrialization, human activities have multiplied demands for water consumption. Water contamination from industrial production and extreme weather (droughts and floods) due to climate change also put the very limited water resources in danger. Unrelenting population growth and economic development will continue pushing the demand for water beyond its natural limits. (source, source, source)
The water crisis is affecting almost every nation on the planet from California in the US to Jordan in the Middle East with the most acute in developing and emerging markets. Water is the ultimate systems challenge. It is a unique resource that underpins all drivers of growth – be it agricultural production, energy generation, industry, or manufacturing. It is the key that unlocks human potential.
the solution - srw
Our technology focuses on providing low cost fresh water. Conventional seawater desalination technologies are prohibitively expensive, energy intensive, primarily powered by fossil fuels and with significant environmental impact. Solar powered desalination can not meet the volumes that are required to meet our ever growing consumption needs. We have developed an extremely disruptive technology to desalinate seawater into fresh water using offshore-based altitude wind kites, reverse osmosis membranes and subsea pressure, eliminating entirely the need to use fossil fuels for water desalination and reducing desalination costs by 90%, based on internal assessments. This technology has the potential to alter the entire dynamics of the global water challenge and permanently alleviate the world’s water shortages in the short term. It is sustainable, scalable, zero carbon emissions technology, provides significant volume capacities at negligible costs versus all other desalination technologies, and has the potential to transform the lives of billions of people around the world.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
