Our focus has been to promote the use of small scale hydropower here in Bolivia. This was to include expanding our demonstration site and giving classes locally. More specifically it was to design and test a small turbine suitable for directly driving machines with waterpower. The resulting turbine we call the Campo Nuevo Watermotor. To the best of our knowledge it is the only turbine incorporating an on/off switch for power control. This one feature makes it suitable for driving machines directly.
The Watermotor model 150 with standard high-silica cast aluminum turgo runner or optional bronze runner.
Artesania Sorata provides work
for families with low incomes in both rural and urban Bolivia. The income generated enables the artisans to
provide a higher standard of living for their families. The nutritional and educational opportunities
for their children are improved, indeed many have now graduated from
university.
An optional on/off power control switch is available for the Watermotor model 150. This patented device allows the Watermotor to be safely used to directly drive machines normally powered by electric motors.
Over the years Artesania Sorata has supported
adult literacy and health programs, creativity workshops in state
childrenīs homes and a childrenīs hearing program. We
believe in the right for all to live a healthy life with a positive
outlook for the future.
