Hi Mike, I am targeting something in the .3-.5watt range. Pressure will from a household type plumbing system, average 45PSI through a �" pipe. Because of some installation constraints I may only get 9fps-12fps flow. The goal is to design a unit which could be mass produced. There is a specific application on the horizon which requires to charge a couple of AA or C cells.
