Flux, the impeller is five inches in diameter. The unit will be first tested in a creek that passes through my land. The volume of the spring run off is huge and every year I have wanted to test this idea.Yes the true kaplan does have variable pitch blades. This will probably limit me to small output.
as the very small ones tend to block up
I will use a culvert attached to the output this will create the vaccume needed to keep the runner free. Every year I see the water flowing from that 5 foot opening for almost a month. Lots of power there.
Joseph.
