Nando,
What do think of a vertical Turgo with 62 feet of head and 1000 gpm? I am using a Pelton because it will handle 1.5" jets.

The following is what you wrote: { I DO NOT SUGGEST A PELTON, a Vertical Turgo is a possibility. You need a carefull analysis -- 460 to 90 watts (real around 430 to 60 Watts). My suggestion is a high voltage generator, 240 Volts AC like a 1.5 HP induction motor as a generator, or a PM 3 phase brushless Smart Drive motor from Fisher & Paykel with two set ups, DELTA for high power and STAR for low power and transformers at the load to bring the voltage to the charger ( I suggest a C40) } You suggested a BANKI at one point. Whats the difference between it and a Vertical Turgo;;; I gather a pelton is not practical for this application.
