Micro Hydro 1 Day Course

An introductory 1-day course with Rob Doyle at The Organic Centre on
Saturday 23rd August 2008
Rob Doyle, who has installed a micro-hydro system at his house will describe and explain suitable locations and the basic components of a small stand alone hydro system with a site walk in the afternoon.
During the day Rob will discuss the options.
Why Hydro: Most efficient renewable energy system - Will generate 24 hours/day - Cheapest (usually) per installed watt - Its fun.
Why not: Most site specific - You have to get cold and wet - Its still expensive He will also show what you need: Water - A hill - The water running down the hill - More hill and more water the better - A system to convert the kinetic energy in the water to electrical energy.
