Miromar is preparing its first funding round. The company is moving from a laboratory-validated model to a full-scale prototype planned for 2027.
THE ENGINEERING THESIS
Many channels are wide enough to carry substantial flow but too shallow for a large round rotor. Miromar replaces the rotor constraint with a row of oscillating hydrofoils that uses the width of the channel.
THE DEVELOPMENT LOGIC
Flume experiments have validated the numerical model at TRL 3. The full-scale prototype is the next measurement step, followed by a representative site trial and a first pilot with an infrastructure partner.
THE MARKET SEQUENCE
Irrigation and drainage canals offer managed flow and accessible sites for the first modules. Tidal channels are the larger market and require bidirectional operation on ebb and flood.
