Can you point me in the direction of 120 volt Alternating Current hydro generators? My dam is about 600 feet from the house where the battery bank will be[ Parent ]
Unless you mean 120VAC 60HZ single phase, then you are out of luck without a lot more research. And the more you research it, the more you will find you are pretty much out of luck.
Most decent DC generators are actually 3-ph AC alternators, intended to be rectified to DC output.
So far the only thing we know is it is hydro, without enough water sometimes, 250' or 600' (?), and 12V batteries.
Without the head, flow, type of water wheel, etc, etc, etc, nobody can point you toward anything relevant. G-[ Parent ]
Where exactly was I rude?
In my garage or basement I have: A few 2" square stepper motors that will make 120VAC, Several baseball sized 3-ph motors that will make 120VAC, More than a few mid-sized AC conversions that will make 120VAC. And a 80(?) pound Leeson that will make 120V.
Send me $250 and I'll send you an alternator than makes 120VAC. Is that what you are looking for? Because that's what you are asking for.[ Parent ]
If you think that was rude, you need to grow a thicker hide before jumping into the internet.
Seriously, lighten up.
I thought he was very accurate and honest about our inability to reply with useful information to your vague post.
You are welcome!

Without fools, you could not look intelligent. There is no knowledge without questions.
