Hey there HBT. A couple questions. What happens when it floods there? How far from your batteries is the turbine? Thanks for the inspiration and your vids.
@franknvest floods don't bother anything dam is secure. And turbine can run under 10m of water. But stream only raises about 2 or 3 feet. Batteries are about 130 feet from turbine. In a week or so will have a video showing batteries and everything.
Thanks HBT. What is the output from it? It seems to work well with low flow. I am interested in using one for my dam overflow water. How much flow do you need? Even works under the ice in winter? What's the maintenance like? Would you recommend it?
google aquair uw turbine for tech info. Mine puts out 100watts at 24v. Yes they are very rugged made to work under ice in the artic. 2 years so far no real mantenace just clean the sticks out of the covert every now and again.

I really like what you have there. Was wondering if you have an update on the project. Would love to hear more about it. Thanks for the vids.
