With about 30m of head, I expect a minimum of 25kW of power at the minimum flow of the river. The waterfalls are located about 2km from the house, which call for a costly high voltage buried cable. I have acquired two identical 380/5kV 50kW 3ph transformers which can be used back to back. Perhaps in a few years time.

Lovely water feature though, plenty of oxygen. Should be good for a pico hydro? Respectfully JM Dear Thor

Correction, in Africa we describe 15° C weather as freezing your nuts off…

Lovely water feature though, plenty of oxygen. Should be good for a pico hydro?

It is a remote possibility that I may still have it somewhere. I did sneak in a cassette recorder to that concert. It is a remote possibility that I may still have it somewhere.
