Of course I have tried to eliminate bends,valves ,reductions, etc. in my waterline. The turbine setup is good I think with 2 jets directed at the runner and ample space for the discharge to escape. The fact remains that the waterbaby 200 ft upstream gets double the output and I don't think the inefficiency is in the waterline. That leaves the alternator and transmission line which is 8 or 10 ga. copper approx. 40 ft long.
