About

The power of the myth

Based on Ikaria, the island with the greatest wave and wind potential in the whole Aegean, we founded Lever Dynamis, now Lever Dynamis.

The myth that inspired us

He knew the solution was inside him

“Ingenious Daedalus is imprisoned in Crete with his son, Icarus; and he is constantly searching for a solution. He is searching for the power that will set them free. He knows very well that the solution is within him. In his reasoning. That's all he's got. The power of thought and the power of nature, that no king can tame. That no worldly authority can control.

He calculates the power of the wind. Measuring its force again and again. Its direction. Its push. He constructs wings. With effort and persistence. Constantly observing. Adjusting. Reconstructing. Never giving up, no matter how unrealistic his plan may seem. And they finally fly. Making wind their most powerful weapon. It is the first time it saves humans.

But not for too long. Because another enormous force is at play. The sea! Young Icarus gets the chance to confront her only when it is already too late. He is lost in her depths, under a blanket of waves. Only the mighty Hercules will manage to recover his dead body and bury it on the island that would forever carry the young man's name. On Icaria.”

Open sea
The contemporary challenge

Can we calculate it?

When we first set out on our journey, we often wondered how we would manage to confront the power of the sea. How could we tame the might of her waves? Can we calculate it?

The answer is yes. With reasoning. By constructing wings of a different kind. With lots of effort and persistence, we finally did it.

A ship with a skilled captain and good crew will always travel and arrive at its destination, in any weather. And whatever the case, we are not afraid of waves. They come to us only to give, and we are ready to gladly accept their gifts.

The group

One umbrella, three kinds of work

Everything we build now sits under Lever Dynamis — the energy machines, the water and coastal instruments, and the intelligence layer that reads both.

Energy

Lever Dynamis

Wave Daedalus, S.H.E.S., Aurora and Road Energy. Patent-granted wave energy conversion and hybrid generation with storage.

Water security

Sensor Dynamis IKE

Resilience tools for water security. AFAS flood early warning — live on Ikaria with the local municipality — plus ATAS tsunami alerting and the AWI wave insights system.

Intelligence

Epignosis

Marine intelligence through real-world data. WEC Epignosis for floating energy devices, Vessel Epignosis for ships.

The two alert systems share names and lineage: the original A.T.A.S. installation at the port of Agios Kirikos is the ancestor of today's ATAS, and the flood work that grew out of it is now AFAS, running live in the field.

The team

Four disciplines, one island

Our experienced team consists of a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, a computer engineer and a naval architect.

Everything on this site was designed, built and tested in real sea conditions — not in a tank. That is slower, and it is the only way we trust the numbers that come out.

Research support

The help we wish we had when we started

On the road from the first idea to a granted patent and a working project, we met a great many obstacles. Some of them looked insurmountable at the time.

We got there through relentless work, a lot of research, and methods we tried again and again. What is left over from all of that is knowledge and experience — and we often thought how much easier it would have been to begin already holding it, or to have had someone to ask who had already been through that stage.

So we built the service we needed. Whatever stage your research is at, we will take on the mechanical engineering study, share our know-how, offer advice, and help any project of an engineering nature reach implementation as quickly as possible.
