Carruthers Renewables has teamed up with the University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) to explore manufacturing methods for a patented water wheel capable of combating electricity scarcity in developing countries. The one-year £250,000 project, funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and the EPSRC through the Innovate UK Energy Catalyst, is helping the company to exploit the AFRC’s expertise in advanced manufacturing methods before selecting the most cost-effective and sustainable way of making the wheels.
