hey all, I am considering a hydro turbine and need some help with the calculations. Here are my stats.
head- 3'
flow 1000 gpm plus
penstock- none, considering 10" SDR35 350' in length
wire run- 2000'
The turbine I would like to use is a banki with a high voltage alternator.
What kind of power am I likely to be able to get to my batteries?
Is 10" pipe large enough for the water I have ?
Also,I'm not sure about the gpm, sorry. The stream flows around a large rock, through a space 6" deep by 24" wide,
can gpm be calculated with this? The least amount of power to make this practical is 100 watts to the battery.
Head could be increased by 2' by adding 500' of pipe
Any information is a great help Thank you
