I’ve been investigating doing supplement hydro to my solar system. Checking into various 48v dc options.
Well I visited my brother-in-laws farm. He got 40’ of head with an unlimited amount of water. His electricity needs are low.
So, my mind starts working and of course I’m new to the hydro world.
So, here’s my question. Can a pelton wheel be used to turn a pulley? Like, can I take a gas powered generator, remove the gas engine, and be able to turn the generator to produce 110v electricity?
The only thing that makes me think it’s not possible is when a large load hits, the gas engine can be heard running harder.
