TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Internal Hydro International, Inc. (OTCBB:IHDR), www.InternalHydro.com., announces that it has prepared an engineering and placement proposal for use of the Energy Commander IV low-impact hydro units at dam sites, which can be located in its first North America and European locations. The placement of the low-impact hydro EC units would be more environmentally friendly than traditional hydro with none of the usual problems with large hydro dams. Dam placement locations selected will provide for preliminary placement of 40 units or more at single dam locations.
A dam placement plan of 40 EC IV 30-kilowatt units to be placed at the single site would result in an energy output of over 1.2 megawatts. Such energy production from one site will result in revenues from the placed units at a projected $750,000 per year in the United States and appreciably more in the European sector, with electricity supplied to the local community and grid.
The placement plans would be for a typical one for any dam in the world with sufficient flow for the Energy Commander but much less than that required by traditional large-scale hydro units. The placement plan will be submitted for approval for a dam which is not capable of supporting traditional hydro due to the low flow but is more than sufficient to support the Energy Commanders.
With over 70,000 non-energy-producing dams in the United States alone, IHDR's plan for placement could mean multitudes of EC units placed under similar plans, bringing new electricity production to areas with no ability to use large hydro.
