Hydro Generators
Large scale hydroelectric power systems have been used worldwide for a long time to generate huge amounts of power from water stored behind massive dams.

Small scale hydropower has been used for hundreds of years. Manufacturing has used the flow of rivers and streams to create mechanical energy which is used for milling grain, sawing logs and manufacturing cloth. However, it can also be used without a dam to generate electricity for home scale remote power systems. These so-called micro hydro installations can be a very good complement to a solar power system, as they produce electricity 24 hours a day.

Micro Hydro Generators
Micro hydro generators converts the energy of flowing water into electrical energy as no dam is required for these systems that are called "run of river" systems. The energy produced by these turbines is renewable and the process does not emit polluting gases. Domestic micro hydro generators used in stand alone power systems can be DC units, designed to charge a battery bank, or AC units designed to supply the household loads directly.

All of the commercial micro hydro generators available today use a small turbine connected to an electrical generator or alternator. Water is collected in an intake pipe, upstream, travels down in plastic pipe, and is forced through one or more nozzles by its own gravity pressure which turns a wheel or a runner (like a propeller) to rotate a turbine (generator or alternator) and produce electricity. The wheels come in different shapes and sizes depending on the site and the type of turbine.

Several factors must be calculated correctly for your micro hydro generator to make power efficiently. All commercial micro-hydro setups are custom-made by the manufacturer for your specific application.

For proper operation, you must supply the manufacturer with specific data about your site, most importantly the vertical drop in metres (called "head"), the amount of water flow available during different seasons in litres per minute, and the length of pipeline required to get a sufficient head.

Vortex Hydro
A free flowing stream or aqua duct can be turned into a source of electricity for a villa, a small community or a large resort.
This vortex powered hydro generator will provide a constant flow of electricity, without producing any harmful
pollutants or disturbing the local environment. As long as the water flows, you will have electricity.
• Water vortex turbine extracts the rotation energy from the gigantic water vortex and powers a generator
• More than 80% turbine efficiency
• Low speed of the turbine
• No need of a fish pass
• Hydroelectric power production = zero emission
• Works at constant and variable speeds
