Stream Engine Hydroelectric Generator
Stream Engine Hydroelectric Generator
The highly adjustable Stream Engine Hydro Turbine uses a Turgo-type runner wheel that can produce useful power from lower heads. The permanent-magnet generator has no brushes to wear out and uses a clever combination of alternator wiring changes and adjustable air gap to compensate for differing flow rates. Setup requires some time with this universal design and involves trial and adjustment, selecting one of four alternator wiring setups and then adjusting the permanent-magnet rotor air gap until peak output is achieved. A precision shunt and digital multimeter are supplied to expedite this setup process. Output voltage is user-settable from 12 to 48 volts. Available in two- or four-nozzle turbines, the Stream Engine is supplied with universal cut-to-size nozzles of 1⁄8-1 inch. Head can be 5 to 200 feet, and flows of 10 to 400 gpm can be used (note that flow rates above 150 gpm have diminishing returns, as the sheer volume of water starts to get in its own way). Maximum output is approximately 1000 watts. Canada.
