Please excuse my english, it's not my native language. Thank you As a lot of people in Europa and America, my home is heated with wood, but on the property is a little river. So i'd like to produce electricity for heating the house, especially when it's empty. Just for heating, so I do not need quality about frequency or voltage. I just want to have about 1/2 ti 1 1/2 horse power for heating and permit that house don't freeze when empty.
So, I don't want to spend a lot. I've read about pumps used as turbins. A classical garden pump (centrifuge) made in China is about 50 to 80 euros. This system is not so efficient that a classical turbin, but so cheap !!! My problem is : - If I buy such a garden pump, does-it work ? Do I have to be careful of anything ? - I never saw such "pump power system"; have on this forum people who have any experience of it ? I have a little river (from 10 to 50 liters per second in winter) ; the head is about 15 meters. So the theorical power is 2 to 10 horse power... but I need only 1 or two. Thank you very much for your help. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
