A fellow I know has a setup for hydro that gives him 15 gpm and 41 psi static pressure. He is only using it for his domestic water needs. Can this kind of a flow generate worthwhile power ?
He seems to think it can't but even 100 watts over 24 hrs is an appreciable amount of power ....
About 100 watts exactly.
