My dear friend Mikey is documenting the construction and implementation (paying job!)of just such a project near Sugarloaf, Kingfield, ME. 30′ of head, 120′ run sluice pipe cast concrete in sections down the streambed, formed and molded and poured during our dry season (we had a dry spring, first in years) 10″ pipe skinnys down to 3″ , powers an 18kw 3-phase alternator by axial flow water turbine, back-throttled by a downstream butterfly valve. Nice commercial grade install. See: http://www.mainehuts.org/ Fred
All,
I am interested in both solar and microhydro solutions
Can any of you provide either DoItYourself web links or company names ?
Thanks
Steven
