Hi All I'm pretty new to this group so please forgive me if this is an oft' asked question. I live in the NW of Ireland and have a small but constant stream flowing about 100m from where I live. I have set up a small hydro system. The intake is approx 18m above the tubine and I've been using a 50mm pipe which is 200m long to bring the water to the turbine. We got a small pelton wheel and bolted it to an old car alternator. It generates a little power but hardly anything. I was wondering what is the best solution for a small homebrew turbine and where could I lay my hands on one. any ideas welcome Thanks Rob
