Thanks. I am still slowly gathering the resources to fully implement a water system to 'power' it but I have visions of doing very large arrays with these turbines. I keep thinking how awesome a hundred of them in an array would be pumping out 1,000 watts of electricity. Per watt they are actually much cheaper than most of the current solar panels on the market but there are other considerations like the water needs, the piping and that they having moving parts that can potentially break. All in all though it is a fun project and hopefully will eventually help me solve some of my electrical needs.
