Micro Hydro Electric Turbine Array (Update)

Several months ago I wrote an article about a micro hydro electric turbine array that I was experimenting with and thought to give a small update about the project after doing a series of recent tests.

I did several tests with the turbines wired in series-parallel as a 24 Volt array and a 36 Volt array. I also tested them in series as a 72 Volt array.

In all of the tests I could only generate about half the desired water pressure with my gravity fed system to power the turbines at full capacity but nonetheless I thought it rather exciting that during each test I generated roughly half the potential voltage for each wiring schema.

I failed to take pictures of all the test results but the below image is from when they were wired in series-parallel as a 24 Volt array.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
