Pump as turbine project, 18 m fall, 5 l/s flow, 225W, 230V, 50Hz. Ordinary Grundfos direct line pump with asynchron 3 phase 370W motor reversed to generate power. C-2C capacitor conection to generate magnethic field in rotor, and convert to 1 phase 230V output. Off grid system with voltage regulator and dump load. 75 m long 110mm PE PN6 penstroke, turbine plugged in 2 of 6 turbine barels due to low water flow in my stream just now.
So… with the world frozen, I’m working on what I can…. and what I can is a generator for a hydro power plant. If I get this sucker working, it’ll be great for powering my workshop!
