Micro Turbines
Which is Right for You?
Harris Hydro
•
•
The Harris system is an efficient,
durable, battery charging pelton
turbine with a PM generator.
Probably the most abundant
micro-hydro unit in the U.S.
The multiple nozzle arrangement
allows considerably more water to
impact the runner, resulting in
greater output at any head, and
usable power at a much lower
head.
•
•
•
1 nozzle $1700
2 nozzle $1800
4 nozzle $1950

Energy Systems &
Design
•
Stream Engine
•
Brushless, permanent magnet
alternator which is adjustable
Capable of outputs over 1 kilowatt
Heads from 6 to 300 feet.
Equipped with a rugged bronze turgo
wheel, universal nozzles (adaptable to
sizing from 1/8 to1 inch), and a digital
multimeter which is used to measure
output current.

Uses the same generator as the
Stream Engine, however the water
turbine component uses a low
head propeller design.
heads of 2 feet up to 10 feet.
At the maximum head, the output
is 1 kW.
•
•
Operates much the same as the
Stream Engine but requires very
little water (pelton wheel)
Will operate on as little as 3 gpm
but requires at least 100 feet of
head.
At a head of 100 feet and a flow of
3 gpm the output is 25 watts; at 24
gpm the output is 250 watts.

Hydro Induction Power
• Good for long wire runs, 60' 500' head, 10 - 600 gpm
•
•
•
The units produce 3-Phase 120V,
240V, or 480V 'wild' (unregulated)
AC, which is then stepped down to
battery voltage.
The heavy-duty brushless
alternator is housed on the Harris
Housing
Uses the Harris bronze Pelton
Wheel for flows up to 200 gpm and
the bronze Turgo Runner for flows
of 200 to 600 gpm.

Now offer a new LOW VOLTAGE
(12V/24V), brushless unit (48V
coming in 2006).
It can generate either 12V or 24V
with pressures from 20psi to
150psi (46' - 400'). Above this
pressure, it will generate 48V.
Lots of accessories

A simple AC single-phase,
brushless permanent magnet
alternator is attached to a propeller
turbine.
Electricity passes along a wire and
into a house, where an electronic
load controller stabilizes the
voltage to 110V or 220V to protect
electrical appliances during use.
Many models available (see chart,
next slide)
The 200 watt unit needs
550 gallons per minute
