Thoughts and comments requested and appreciated.
At some point in the near future my wife and I will be moving to a river-front property that has a pretty consistent 4-5 MPH flow (like a gazillion GPH every day). It seems like a waste to not try to harness a little of it to charge some batteries and compliment a some panels down the line. I don't want to be noticed and want to have zero impact on the ecosystem there. it will have a dock so I'm thinking something under the dock. Is the underwater generator (non turbine type) a thing? I'm guessing a waterproof 3 phase motor with a prop on it in a tube would work. Thoughts?
