Next time you are down you will have to have a look at my water wheel, you missed it last time, it is 10 ft diameter and drives an old land rover gear box backwards (set in low) then it drives some pulleys and belts to get the speed up to 300 rpm for the permanent magnet alternator on the end, works great when we have some rain, Rick
