Hi Shabab, ... Actually I use TWO electronic load controllers now! You probably know, double stitches hold better! :-) I started using the Humming Bird ELC. It...
My response to all this ..I thought Maine's DEP was constrictive!, is to minimalize your installation and then expand it over time...BUT, you have to document...
G'day Alastair, Have a look at the ossberger: http://www.ossberger.de/cms/en/hydro/the-ossberger-turbine/ I reckon cross flows have clear advantages for...
Alastair: Your site seems to give you around 300 watts for a good part of the year. Banki is one turbine, other one a Gharat as well, Also, though normally Not...
