It all may be very easy to you D.K. There is never a decrease in the flow below the numbers stated. 1-3 days a year it is shut down completely. During the...
Would anyone care to share thier design for frequency control for an AC only system? I don't plan on messing with a battery system. [Non-text portions of this...
Hi Nando, Battery voltage depends on what we can do at the low end of production. If we can do 48 volts I would like to go for that, but if we can only do 12...
The process to determine the available power is to measure the head and the distance to the lower part of the gate, this will give you the volume available...

Hello Gruop, We are up in the hills near in NW California and have a big stream that runs all the time on the edge of the property. I have not measured it...
Steve: What you are saying for the site is NOT good if you want to develop a good hydro system. Measure the water volume accurately as well the head and the...

TIM: Your question is quite broad and You should ask defining the power, frequency and voltage that you want to control, Why frequency and not voltage level...

Hi Otto, I think a Pelton or a Turgo turbine would do well here. How much power you can develop will depend on how much flow is available. Here are a couple of...
Hello everyone I was surfing the net on my favorite web sites and found a mention of one Bourne Energy. (http://www.bourneenergy.com/) I had never heard of ...
The picture indicates that they aren't very familiar with the physics of floating objects. http://www.bourneenergy.com/future.html#OS anybody can draw a...
Clint: This concept seems not real, the tube is 5 feet long, to produce 5 and 10 KW. If the head is 5 feet, then the water volume to produce 5 kw is 5000/(5*...

Greetings. I have a question for the group. I live in a community in upstate NY. There is an old canal with several old locks. Each lock drops about 10...
You idea is possible, though the idea of increasing the pipe diameter is not so. You have 130 feet = 39.6 meter head and a pipe can be placed in the canal (...

Guess what. There's free money pouring out of that canal, and your townsfolk could harness it. But it will likely be a lifetime endeavor for you, what with all...
My parents have a small creek, fed by a small year-round spring, but also by seasonal rain runoff. It's been unusually dry here the past couple of weeks and I...
Dear rwcharlie, very little usable power can be generated with that flow rate. You can do your own calculations at: http://www.lightmypump.com/micro/micro.html...

Eric Thank you for your response. I agree, getting all the permits would be an ardous task. But before I undertake it I want to be able to quantify how much ...
Nando Thanks for your response. I will measure the water volumes and will definetly keep your contact info. I apologize for not including my name in the...

Wouter, You will also need a destination for the load ("dump load") in the event the grid is absent. This could be some very heavy industrial sized resistors,...
