Kind regards, Wim -------- Original Message -------- Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 21:44:44 -0700 From: "KEVIN PUGH" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> i have 50 acres in the great northwest, oregon . we have a creek that starts on the property and drops quit a bit , thier are no fish and sometimes in the worst dry spells it will dry up for a week or two. this has only happened twice in the last 30 years. i built a gravity water system when i was 18 for my mom and it has worked very well for the last 23 years, i amnow wanting to redo this small projectbut in doing this should i consider trying to generate some power also? my mother is property rich but cash poor and i help in many ways, she is 67 and i wonder if this could help or is it just to cost prohibitive? the water system is about half way up thecreek and i have 48psi would i double that if i built it at the top assuming it will gain half more in elevation?i just read on three phase motors being used to produce elc, i would very much like it if you could put me in the right direction. thanks so much and i hope this is not rude asking for your advise thanks again kevin p ------------------------ Yahoo!
