I'm curious, if the main purpose of a particular hydro power project is to generate
heat, then is electricity the best way to do it?
I know that electricity is clean and easy to use and easily transferred from one place
to another but is there some other (more efficient) way of more directly generating
heat from rotary mechanical power?

Subject: [microhydro] Using Hydro to heat water
Hi
I want to set up a very simple and low cost system generating about
1-2KW. My plan is to use it to directly heat water to provide hot tap
water and home heating. This way I can avoid batteries, charge
controllers, inverter, etc.
Has anyone seen a similar type of installation before? Are there any
gotchas?
thx
dave
