Hello.
Has anyone out there has experience with the Acqair submersible generator? Apparently they have been used successfully mounted on the substructure of oil rigs. My idea is to build a dam in a stream that does not have a whole lot of head on my land but flows fairly consistently at about 5 to 10 gallons (and more during rains)per second. I figure that by funneling the flow through the Acqair's prop into a 12 inch outlet I should easily be able to create 7-8 MPH or more of flow regularly. The dam site is a natural formation and should not take TOO much work, and it is within 200 feet of our new homesite, so transmission to the inverter is possible without too much line loss. We are thinking about the 24V model. The other large concern is creating an adequate anti-rock cage, as the stream is prone to occassional extreme flodding in times of heavy rains. Any other feedback about possible hydeo power generation on this site would be greatly appreciated! Many Thanks, Bruce ------------------------ Yahoo!
