SWES Technology

Electricity from sea-water anywhere around the world, no charge, no maintenance – just put to the sea – light into the green future!!!

For the first time in the World we show SWES Technology on IndieGoGo campaign which is a new dimension in the field of alternative energy sources.

Sea Water Energy System (SWES) Technology means that it produces ready to use, clean and stable electric power from seawater in an environmentally friendly way.

Our first product is a high power LED SWES Dive Light which is unique to the world. It lights up as soon as touches seawater and lighting until it is in salt water.
The required energy to operate the dive light is provided by SWES Energy Cells which produces the basic electric power from seawater.

We have to trust that as technology develops for the human race, it will be an electric power source which feeds the required energy without harming the environment.

When we manage to gain this then it was worth the effort. 

We ask for your support to begin the serial production of the dive light and continue the development of SWES Technology.

Help us and be a part of changing the World! We can make our future better, brighter and cleaner together!

We appreciate every bit of support. If you like to help us achieving our goals but can not contribute, it is no problem! You can still support us with sharing our project in social media.
Thank you very much for your support!

Electricity from sea-water. Why is it important for our future?

We believe that the development of SWES Technology will make a better World.

Did you know?

  • Today over 100 thousand of ships and vessels are on the seas and oceans.
  • Vessels and ships are using fuel to give them electricity.
  • One vessel uses 150-250 tons of fuel per a day.
  • Vessels and ships are using 3-4 tons of fuels per day to have electricity on them.
  • From this 100-150 tons of contaminates are polluting the environment.
  • Our environment is directly polluted more than 10 million of tons contamination on every single day.
  • This contamination is one of the main reasons of acidity of seawater, which causes coral harms and so damages the whole food chain which affects our lives.

Unfortunately the list is endless we just collected some points to show the impact.

The SWES Energy Cell

The members of SWES group have been doing archeological deep-sea researching for 20 years furthermore working on development of different research equipment.
While we were working on the development of deep-sea research robot (ROV) we had an idea to have the necessary power-drive of the robot from its environment. This idea was the base of SWES Technology.

After having the concept we had been researching, developing, producing prototypes and testing for 4 years.

The basic electric power from seawater will be produced by SWES Energy Cell.

Development of the energy cell brought the achievement to the SWES Technology. Universities laboratories, engineers and institutes of environmental protection were instrumental in the development of SWES Technology.

Development of this part was the most important and the most difficult task.
One of the big challanges was that the used materials must be completely environmentally friendly as the energy cell has direct contact with the environment.

For today we are ready with three different energy cells implemented control panels. According to the needs of use we created 3,2VDC, 5VDC and 12 VDC systems –first in the world.

We are the one and only who could manage the separation of energy cells, which has made possible to build even more 100V units together. This step was mandatory to fulfill the needs of special places, which have more electricity usage, such as ships.


The First Product: High Power LED SWES Dive Light

Our first product is a dive light, light is not only for divers!

SWES Dive Light is unique to the world. The required energy to operate the dive light is provided by energy cells of SWES Technology.

                       

The SWES light is an extraordinary recourse for all

  • diver (skin divers, scuba divers, cave divers, deep divers, etc.)
  • sailor
  • fishermen
  • sport fishermen
  • boat and yacht owners
  • underwater photographer
  • aquatic fanatic
and everyone who loves the sea and wants to protect the environment.


Advantages and benefits

  • No battery and no charge needed. It is a perfect choice for sport and deep divers, cave and wreck divers, for sailors, for sport fishermen and for night fishing.
  • No maintenance needed. By 3-4 hours daily usage you should change the anode in 3-4 years.
  • Ready to use. As soon as it touches seawater, it lights up.
  • Completely environmentally friendly. All used materials and also the way, how energy cells produce energy are completely environmentally friendly.
  • Lightweight (945-965g)
  • Easy to handle.
  • Unique, massive, solid design.
  • Magnetic switch with in off & dry state
  • Without touching seawater, consistency never compromise.
Also in off & dry state,consistency is not compromised.

Would you like to be one of the firsts who has a seawater operated dive light?

During our IndieGoGo campaign all SWES-1 and SWES-3 dive lights  are produced with a unique 3D label if you order with Perk “Why not?”.

Surprise your family, lover, friend or colleagues with a personal labeled one and only gift!

                                  

                                                                     

SWES-1 and SWES-3 dive lights are working only in seawater or in salt water.Our technical development team is working on making it possible to use in fresh water also.
We found the solution and the realization is still in progress. Immediately when the stable model of fresh water light will be ready we will publish it on all forums.


Planned to develop - The SWES Vision

Light is just the beginning – a ship which does not harm the environment, quiet and cheap to maintain is our future.

An electric ship which is able to move as quiet and clean as a sailboat it is not a dream anymore.
Imagine a world where your ship does not need a tank of fuel, just get on board and you can go. Sail without polluting the environment.

For SWES Technology it does not matter having rain, wind, or sunshine. The SWES energy cell provides the necessary electric energy from the seawater all day and night long, independently from weather conditions.  Thanks to the electric energy your ship can go in the deepest silence and let you enjoy the unique experience while you’re shipping around the sounds of nature. 

Develop

We do not believe in miracles. We have confidence in ourselves and in our knowledge.

For us it was certainty one of the main directions of the development of SWES Technology will be the electric ship. As the energy is coming directly from the seawater itself the ships are not running on fuel.

We made the first steps already and we believe with supporters we can have all the possibilities to build the first prototype of SWES electric ship.

For an electric power-driven ship the needed energy level is higher than for a dive light. For our tests and examinations we prepared the first energy cell unit from 8pcs of 12VDC energy cells, which provides all together 96VDC of voltage.

8 pcs of 12VDC energy cells provide 96VDC which light up 64 pcs of Power LED.

With these tests we verified that the necessary energy level for ships can be produced by SWES energy cells.

The first period of development has two main phase.
  1. In the first phase a high voltage (540VDC) SWES energy cell RACK will be built and tested in laboratory.
  2. During the second phase we will build 4-6 RACKs and install these on a 6-8 meter length of ship and the RACKs will power-drive 2 pcs of out-board engine.

          

                             


According to our plan the first prototype will be ready for testing in the middle of 2015.
