Scott:
Since you have about 300 watts available, and at a good distance, I would suggest that you use a Turgo system from Michael Lawley [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ecoinn.co.nz He and his employees are on vacation until the 19 of this month. Turgo with a 100 size Generator with the 14 coils/phase wired for 7 coils pairs in parallel to produce at least 130 volts This way you will get a high voltage which can be carried by a 18 or 14 gauge wire then at the load it can be converted using a OUTBACK charge controller or even the Xantrex C40. You can send the 3 phases or rectify by the generator ( case of 3 or 2 wires ). Or use the types he sells with transformers and rectify at the load site. I do not know what size Turgo Michael will suggest, I do not have his sizes and capabilities.

I have a transmission issue that I would like to put out on the table. I am a Renewable Energy consultant who currently has some hydro clients. One client has the following situation. 23 feet of drop (head) and 150 gpm of flow. The fellows existing renewable energy system is at 24VDC. I have looked at the Harris Permanent Magnet unit and the Canadian Stream Engine. Both units can supposedly generate around 300 watts continuously at this site. However the distance to the home is 560 feet which means a HUGE wire size for a 24VDC system. Don Harris suggested that I look into the HydroMax controller as he had heard that it might be able to make our situation more affordable. I also looked at a 3 phase system but thought that the low head made it undesirable.
