Harris Hydroelectric Turbine Generator
adjustable P.M. alternator
with Pelton wheel & up to 4 nozzles
This hydroelectric battery charger uses a Harris cast bronze pelton
wheel and an alternator in a powder coated aluminum housing.
This model is available with 1, 2 or 4 nozzles installed at the factory.
Nozzle(s) can
be up to 1/2 inch in diameter.
Each hydroelectric system is custom-built to match your site
specifications. A flexible hose penstock with shut-off valves is included on
machines ordered with more than one nozzle. Valves are provided for all
nozzles when ordering a multi-nozzle unit. The hose connections to the
nozzles allow for easy disassembly and/or tilting up the unit for inspection
and cleaning.
The permanent magnet brushless alternator
comes with a mechanical field adjustment. This alternator is 15-30% more efficient than the
old Motorcraft alternator, produces less heat, and therefore lasts longer.
Click here for the kit to upgrade the old Ford
Motorcraft alternator.
This unit will run for years
before bearings need to be replaced. The old Motorcraft alternator uses
the commonly available #6203 sealed ball bearing along with one #NB-1 needle
bearing. These can be purchased at many auto parts stores.
Maximum achievable power output is 750 Watts for 12Vdc
systems and 1500 Watts for 24Vdc systems. The maximum output for the Permanent
Magnet Alternator is 1500 Watts. Order fan option below for systems operating above 500
Watts. Made

Note that permanent magnet alternator is more
efficient and usually produces more output.

The background colors in the table above
indicate the approximate number of open nozzles that will give the best operating
efficiency. To achieve intermediate nozzle sizes order the next smaller
size and drill it out. For more nozzle
information click here.
Please tell us your head, flow, pipe size and length, and battery
voltage when ordering.
