I would appreciate your advice or resources to help me understand what it would take to have installed a hydro turbine.
All I can find are methods for calculating head/volume, etc. but I need to start more basic and then go more detailed than the info I have seen thus far.
I have a property that is 32 acres in very rural South Central Ky. I would like to build a small cabin and start really living the self-sufficient lifestyle I am only able to make strides toward where I am now.
The land is in an area where rainfall is abundant and I have a small lake (approx. 3 acres) with a large watershed. My curiousity is whether the spillway from the lake could possible be used to generate power for the cabin.
Please give advice or comments as well as sources of other info.
