Kazakh engineer develops portable hydroelectric power station

Kazakh citizen Marat Palmakhov has created an autonomous electric power generator he dubs the ‘eternal engine.’ The portable station operates solely on water, requiring only a small reservoir rather than a large water body. The easily assembled and launched construction can work uninterruptedly, producing up to 380 volts of energy. The domestic innovation is capable of supplying electricity to various spaces, remote settlements, and district centers, as well as irrigating fields. Palmakhov dedicated nearly 10 years to developing his invention and assembled it in just two weeks, using only three simple components – copper, aluminum, and steel. According to him, the machine can function regardless of climatic conditions.

“The generator can operate round the clock throughout the year with no climate influence, whether it is minus 40 or plus 40 degrees Celsius. It can be used in the steppe or a basement. Everything is recycled, and no environmentally harmful components are involved,” Palmakhov said.

“Any appliances can be plugged in. Thus, we have connected an angle grinder and a wood drill. Energy production can be increased from 10 kilowatts to 100 megawatts, covering private homes, ventures, and entire villages,” engineer Ilyas Akhmetov noted.

There are plans to establish production of such generators across Kazakhstan. The domestic invention has been patented and has sparked interest among foreign investors. The engineer hopes that it will soon find demand in the global market.
