Editorial Reviews: Product Description Micro-hydro is a useful way of providing power to houses, workshops or villages that need an independent supply. For many remote areas beyond the reach of a national grid, micro-hydro is the only economic option. Where flow is limited, but high heads are available, the Pelton wheel is one of the most useful turbines. The "Micro-hydro Pelton Turbine Manual" is written to enable the reader to design and manufacture Pelton turbines with capacities from a few hundred watts to around 100kw, though much of the information is relevant for larger units too. Aimed at readers with a general engineering workshop background, the emphasis is on simple technology, so that the turbines can be made in small workshops with basic engineering facilities. More advanced processes are discussed for those with access to better manufacturing facilities. As well as detailing all the important aspects of design, the book covers basic theory, turbine selection, manufacture, installation, testing and problem-solving. The manual is well illustrated and contains many comprehensive appendices, which include manufacturing reference information and the derivation of equations used.

Customer Reviews: How to build your Pelton Turbine simplified August 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is written for the engineer or technician who is trying to set up a hydrogeneration plant using the Pelton Turbine design. shows how to build from scratch, gives parametric drawings that cover all major components and gives you the data that is requiered to size your turbine correctly with the availiable water and fall. For the person that only wants to get a general overview of a Pelton turbine instalation, they can skip the tech part and still get and excellent apraisal of their situation and potential, even if they want only to know how to order the equipment from a manufacturer, it will show what to look for and the alternatives that you can search for. Excellent buy for anyone looking to install a Pelton Turbine OK But August 4, 2006 9 out of 15 found this review helpful No real help if you are looking to use a small pond or lake as your hydro source. If you have a stream that runs down a steep hill or mountain side this book maybe of use. I think this book is far too expensive.
