Just saw your note, Scott...we have 6 foot head with 150 gpm and an energy systems and design turbine from Canada (Paul Cunningham), which makes average 300 to 350 watts and sometimes as much as 500 watts....with 12 feet you can build a good (must!) screening system and get great AC power all the time...we run wires to our house 100 meters....no much loss at all...(maybe 7 to 9 watts)....no worries..
