John, A 200W PowerPal consumes 28-35L/s at 1.5m head (5 ft). You can use 3 units of 200W PowerPal operating in series (multiple 5 ft drops/cascades) to...
hi all, I apologise for my ignorance in advance If I travel to a thrid world country and would like a micro hydro for very small cost, what do I need? How much...

Hi Peter, all of you describe below can be done, but with your own effort and creativity for pick up parts and field work. There are a lot of low power home...
Gday Nando I do not purport to know a great deal about this topic. It would be nice if you would elaborate a bit. Should I say 400W rather than 2kW? On Tamil...
Hi Peter, Assuming that the resource is not in question, a 2kW system is not ideal for DC system operation. 1. Typical DC alternators are rated below 500W, so...
Thanks Eilrem Your information is very informative. I think now I have learnt as much as I can by looking at websites and asking a few questions on relevant...
Can you say your Name ?. 150 RPM generators are not available unless you use gears to increase the RPM to the generator needs. Why don't you instead explain...

hi all, many years ago I saw a tv program about an australian design that generated power from running rivers. It consisted of a twin hulled pontoon, catamran...
my job was lead design for the generator. the field used to be excited via a rotating exciter, however, now a static exciter is used the rotating exciter was a...

Dear Friends If we can find some Micro Hydel Turbine so as to get Electrical power that can be generated economically out of Flow of 59 cub Mtr/ Sec & a head...
Yash, Your site could possibly generate about 600kW of electricity but I don't think it is economically feasible to implement. It would require a 7.5m dia...
my apologies to the contributor that I claimed said 600W. Yes you said 600kW and were correct. Think an undershot wheel is probably most cost effective...
1.24m sounds like a very good height for an overshot waterwheel. Apparently those made of steel are better than wood. 59 m^3 and 1.24m head = 600W... no this...

Don't wish to discourage you but this hardly sounds like microhydro stuff. At a flow of 1 metre per second and a depth of 1 metre we are talking of a ...
