The project appears to be a very early-stage hydrokinetic energy initiative, likely based in Saskatchewan (referenced in a Village of St. Louis meeting agenda), but the submission contains significant red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a pre-commercial infrastructure technology. The website is not indexed, and the 'marketcap' revenue figure is ambiguous. While the underlying concept of river-based renewables is valid, the lack of verifiable digital presence and the low quality of the provided data result in a score reflecting minimal traction.

Project Details

Description
Jarvis Industries has developed a novel type of power unit that exploits the energy of flowing water in rivers to generate reliable and affordable electricity at any scale. Our technology requires virtually no civil engineering hence posing very limited threats to local environments. Moreover, being sunk deep underwater, our units seamlessly integrate with the outside world as they are barely discernable from the surface and don't impact navigability. Our technology is supported by robust simulations and small-scale experiments, conducted internally and verified by third-party experts, and we are currently starting commercial development.
