Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Will this fit on my Honda?
Are there any environmental impacts to the wildlife or hydrology?
Cool concept. Have installed a few smaller turbines but they required an 18' (5.5m?) Head of water to run the turbines. This design literally allows you to only need a fraftion of that, 1 meter or even less. Brilliant idea for the massive output. People in Alasks would love this.
From the YTVC's ----- "This turbine is operating with a head of 1.7m and a flow of 1.8m3/s. In the outflow you will see that there's head left. That's because our customer wants to expand to 2 turbines in series in the future (modular components allow him to do that). As you can see the turbine is covered with a grid to keep larger debris and children from falling into the turbine. There's also a trash rack in front of the inlet that keeps all debris with a diameter above 10cm out of the turbine basin. The core of this unit was assembled in our factory and then transported in one piece to the installation site. Over there it was a matter of lowering the turbine into the concrete outflow pit and connecting all electrical wires. No expertise required at that point. The concrete structures were build in advance in about 3 weeks as this was our first turbine. We are currently working on a prefabricated design that should be installed in under a week.
