WVO and Tiny Hydro
By R3 Green Team, Section Classifieds Posted on Tue Nov 03, 2009 at 06:38:04 PM MST
New to the group and seeking help!

I have $20,000.00 invested in transportation tanks and other filtering fixtures. I have contracts for WVO collection and no one to do the work. Near San Antonio, Texas if anyone is interested in some part time work with growth potential. On another note... If my solar panels can run a 2 HP pump 10 hours a day why cant I run tiny hydro to produce electricity?

OK. . wait a minute. . .

Are you saying you want to use the solar panels, to drive a pump and use the pump to pump water to drive a small turbine to produce electricity?

Far too many losses there! Just use the electricity from the panels and forget the pump and turbine.

JMHO YMMV

That's exactly what I was wondering.
And I was wondering if the economy in TX is so good nobody is looking for work.

lol thats not what i think he means.
i think he means if his solar can run a pump then could tiny hydro run the same pump ?
i say yes its possible , but we need more info on his stream.

But we will never know for sure if he cant reply because of Internet Explorer
