The gif is similar to wind turbines of the 1890s to 1910s. The offset arm is the key.

May be a good site for an "Alternative Hydro solution" from Steve Gregory, or a "Cycloturbine" from Mr Ette (Norway) http://www.ette.no/hydro/pic/voith2e.gif (even if I think this model only exists on plan) Or a twisted turbine from Alexander Gorlov http://www.gcktechnology.com/GCK/ (did somebody from this group try to approach them?) Could you add some pictures of your "spot" to the microhydro yahoo website? For calculating the speed of the water in a stream, some people from this group have suggested to use some floating oranges.
