Hi,
This is Brian Yanity, a graduate student in the fluid mechanics lab at the University of Alaska-Anchorage. As part of our investigations of using Alaska's tidal currents for power generation. At the research flume here at UAA, we are testing micro-scale in-stream hydroelectric turbines. I was wondering if anyone on the list-serve has used DC trolling motors (made for boats), can be effectively run backwards as in-stream generators. They would be perfect for our flume experiments, but I wanted to know if anyone had tried it. thanks, Brian Yanity Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo!
