1. Micro Turbines
Which is Right for You?

2. Harris Hydro www.harrishydro.com
The Harris system is an efficient, durable, battery charging pelton turbine with a PM generator.
Probably the most abundant micro-hydro unit in the U.S.
The multiple nozzle arrangement allows considerably more water to impact the runner, resulting in greater output at any head, and usable power at a much lower head.
1 nozzle $1700
2 nozzle $1800
4 nozzle $1950

3. Energy Systems & Design
Stream Engine
Brushless, permanent magnet alternator which is adjustable
Capable of outputs over 1 kilowatt
Heads from 6 to 300 feet.
Equipped with a rugged bronze turgo wheel, universal nozzles (adaptable to sizing from 1/8 to1 inch), and a digital multimeter which is used to measure output current.
2 Nozzle Bronze $2395
4 Nozzle Bronze $2545
High Voltage Option $200
High Current Option $100

4. Energy Systems & Design
Low Head Propeller Turbine
Uses the same generator as the Stream Engine, however the water turbine component uses a low head propeller design.
heads of 2 feet up to 10 feet.
At the maximum head, the output is 1 kW.
Water Baby
Operates much the same as the Stream Engine but requires very little water (pelton wheel)
Will operate on as little as 3 gpm but requires at least 100 feet of head.
At a head of 100 feet and a flow of 3 gpm the output is 25 watts; at 24 gpm the output is 250 watts.

5. Hydro Induction Power
Good for long wire runs, 60' - 500' head, gpm
The units produce 3-Phase 120V, 240V, or 480V 'wild' (unregulated) AC, which is then stepped down to battery voltage.
The heavy-duty brushless alternator is housed on the Harris Housing
Uses the Harris bronze Pelton Wheel for flows up to 200 gpm and the bronze Turgo Runner for flows of 200 to 600 gpm.
HV 600 with 2 Nozzles $2500
HV 600 with 4 Nozzles $2600
HV 1200 with 4 Nozzles $3000
HV 1800 with 4 Nozzles $3500
HV 3600 with 4 Nozzles $5000
Turgo option $600

6. Hydro Induction Power www.homehydro.com
Now offer a new LOW VOLTAGE (12V/24V), brushless unit (48V coming in 2006).
It can generate either 12V or 24V with pressures from 20psi to 150psi (46' - 400'). Above this pressure, it will generate 48V.
Lots of accessories
12/24V Hydro with 1 Nozzle: $1350
12/24V Hydro with 2 Nozzles:$1400
12/24V Hydro with 3 Nozzles:$1450
12/24V Hydro with 4 Nozzles:$1500
Upgrade from Harris Hydro: $500
Turgo option $600

7. The 200 watt unit needs 550 gallons per minute
Powerpal
Low head model
A simple AC single-phase, brushless permanent magnet alternator is attached to a propeller turbine.
Electricity passes along a wire and into a house, where an electronic load controller stabilizes the voltage to 110V or 220V to protect electrical appliances during use.
Many models available (see chart, next slide)
