I would like the boards help to determine the potential for producing power from my small stream.
1. Dam holds back 9 cubic yards of water. 2. Year round flow of 60 gallons/minute. 3. I have a piece of 3" X 5' PVC pipe at the very bottom of the dam. This is used to drain the small pond and can be replaced if needed. 4. From the pipe I can get 3' of head over a distance of 30'. At the 30' mark I've a small building I propose to use as a battery storage facility. I'd like this to be the limit of any penstocks. 5. Things I'd like to power: 5 lights, 1 undercounter refrigerator, 1 microwave and 1 radio. 6. I'm willing to custom build a PM generator or buy off the shelve. What is the best turbine?
