for low speed currents

[Ralph Day]

This gizmag link shows how hydro energy can be harvested without destructive dam construction. Might even remove the dreaded beaver problem re: daming up your inlets.

You can get lost in gizmag.

I got lost years ago.

:nuts:

And this newer one.

Sort of reminds me of a hydraulic ram used in a small creek to pump water to a higher head then use the fall to generate power.

From your electric motorcycle post of yesterday to hydro power today...i'm afraid to subscribe to gizmag because of time constraints. Slow speed dialup connection with so much to peruse would result in too many hours spent in front of the computer! A few minutes looking at one thing, then over to another etc etc, maybe if I had high speed connection and a secretary to prioritze items I could do it.:D:love:

Well, that's one of the beauties of having a board like this one. One or other of us will find something of interest and post a link to it, so you don't have to consume time finding the one grain of wheat in the field of chaff.
