I have a stream on my land and it has a weir with a drop of approx 18" with a very strong flow over it.

I am looking to produce my own electricity supply from this and done some research on the internet but there doesnt seem to be anything suitable in the UK - can someone perhaps point me in the right direction or make a suggestion please!]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2620&Focus=33951#Comment_33951 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2620&Focus=33951#Comment_33951 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:31:19 +0100 tony
Don't get too excited as it may well not be worth doing

Flow can be calculated by utilising a vee board or divert a known portion of the flow and see how fast it fills a container.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2620&Focus=33952#Comment_33952 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2620&Focus=33952#Comment_33952 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:32:39 +0100 jamesingram http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2273
