my homebru hydro system

Hi.

A while back I started building a home bru hydroelectric system and since I shop here I thought I'd show some pics.

It uses an olive barrel with a PMA and pelton wheel with 2 1/8th inch jets fed by an 1-1/2 inch line with about 200 feet of head.  Its just getting off the ground but its charged a few batteries!!

(click on the MKI link to see how it evolved)

Its producing 12 volts but I've yet to be able to measure amps.  I'm just ordering the LCD module for the c30 so I can get more information about what is going on.

Also going to put in a set of l16 batteries next week and see how they do.

Anyway, just thought you all might be interested. 

Thanks for the site and great prices!

Re: my homebru hydro system

thanks.  I've made some improvements and am using it quite a bit.  It makes about 150 watts, which isn't that much, but it runs 24/7 and my house doesn't use that much power.

Now with summer coming I need some more solar panels -- the water will be going away once mid june/july gets here!
