Tilton: First let us know the water volume during the seasons and the head of the stream.
Car Alternators are not a good solution because they need field current and they have brushes limiting the life of the alternator to about 10,000 hours just about 14-16 months. There are better long lasting solutions Also, indicate the battery voltage and the reasoning for such decision, the energy usage etc, Regards Nando ----- Original Message ----- From: "Earl Tilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 3:43 PM Subject: [microhydro] Alternators? > I'm working on a very basic project with a friend of mine on his land.
