Description
Directionally controlled penstock drilling technology will make possible the exploitation of small hydro power resources in a cost efficient and environmentally friendly way. The technology could be used in locations where a traditional pipeline would be extremely costly (or even impossible) and be visible in the landscape. The entire operation could be done from the lower opening of the shaft.
