Hello Peter,

We have a lot in common. My 1898 dam is stone masonry, 10 feet high, 75 feet wide and HUGE flow. Have you looked into Ossburger turbines? What about dc power used to separate hydrogen out of water from the stream and use it as fuwl for an internal combustion engine running an ac generator? Maybe we can combine resources and time to evaluate the best hydro generation system for our sites. Most technology is for high head low flow.

Hello Jeremy,

My first post to this, or any, blog/forum. I don't have anything in you area, but I do hope you can provide encouragement/insight. Please check out Boshell Mill, Townley, Alabama on the internet. I am the proud owner of this site where there exists an 1898 stone masonry dam that is 10 feet high by 75 feet long. My problem, other than wisdom, wealth and confidence is the fact that the technology I find is directed to systems of high head / low flow. I have the opposite - low head / HUGE flow.I have great dreams for the place. But so far, only dreams  Please send any comments, critique or plain advice. Bless you for any generous gift of knowledge.
