The pond and stream in the back yard have a variable flow. Strong in spring and fall, almost dry in late summer, winter is hard to calcuate in New England. A 12 volt battery storage system heating water for home heat as well as domestic use would be very nice. An overshot water wheel driving an automotive alternator was my thought but I am sure there are better, more efficient options. I was told that I might see 8+ amps at 14.5 volts from this average flow.
Ecomomical sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andy Brown ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
