A micro-hydro generator like the PowerSpout converts the potential energy of a watercourse to electricity. This is achieved by water jets impacting on the turbine rotor, spinning the rotor and hence the turbine, which generates electricity. Micro-hydro generators produce 3-Phase AC current.
Even a small stream can generate consistent, clean, dam free, renewable electricity at a price per Watt lower than solar or wind. A single PowerSpout at a site good enough to generate 1kW can produce enough electricity for a typical house for a year (>8,000 kWh/yr). The small (18 inches wide), all-weather PowerSpout PLT is one of the most reliable, cost-effective generators around because we have spent a decade making micro-hydro efficient and affordable.
