Crowd Energy

Founded in 1970, Crowd Energy is a renewable energy company headquartered in Zephyrhills, United States with approximately 11-50 employees specializing in Tidal.

Crowd Energy is an engineering and research organization focused on developing ocean current energy turbines as a clean, renewable energy source. The company specializes in subsea engineering and marine technology, with over 40 years of experience in ocean environments. Their core innovation is a high-torque, low-rotation ocean current turbine optimized for energy density and marine conservation. The turbine design features three sets of blades that close during the power stroke and open during return, creating high surface area on the power stroke side while minimizing drag on the return. The team consists of subsea engineers, oceanographers, marine ecologists, electrical engineers, and fabrication specialists. They are developing prototypes and seeking crowdfunding to build a medium-scale production turbine for testing at Florida Atlantic University before pursuing full-scale commercial deployment.
