decent flow of water - hydro power - fastest payback of all renewable technologies! 
I'd be interested to see what's "new" about their invention - but in principle - water power is excellent (but so few people have the resource!)

It is a damned shame that more people don't have a water resource available. I would be interested to see if this idea caught on in France as it is reasonably common for householders to have a stream running through their land/gardens. Unfortunately for us, we haven't. If and when we move, I would be keen to look for a property with a stream for this reason.
