One key to all of my alternative energy sources is the ability to add on, this is a unique situation with Hydro power as you need the water flow.; Hydro power is still a very viable alternative energy source and pricing on micro hydro just keeps coming down Change the World<br /><br />Low flow technology is also getting less expensive. I am also working on a multi level Hydro Power system, with it I will be able reuse the flow of the water multiple times. I will use the hillside to my advantage, simple techniques like this multiplied will provide free power to my homestead.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-774456483721040805?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-39263679356566567672010-01-10T13:26:00.000-08:002010-01-10T13:39:52.171-08:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EcycDAJc858&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EcycDAJc858&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-3926367935656656767?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-76584644089238903322010-01-04T10:18:00.001-08:002010-01-04T10:20:05.093-08:00I setup this micro hydro power lens on Squidoo, I love being able to add news, videos and polls, <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hydropower">Micro hydro power</a> is something I will be using on my homestead.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-7658464408923890332?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-83947057784143904372010-01-01T07:31:00.000-08:002010-01-01T07:33:49.985-08:00<div class="embedded-howcast-video" style="text-align:center;font-size:9px;"><object width="432" height="357" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="howcastplayer"><param name="movie" value="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=60908&theme=black"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="&fs=true"></param><embed src="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=60908&theme=black" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="432" height="357" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="&fs=true"></embed></object><br /><a class="embedded-playback-url" href="http://www.howcast.com/videos/60908-SinkScience-14-Faucet-Powered-Head-Lamp-Generator" target="_blank" alt="SinkScience #14 - Faucet Powered Head Lamp Generator">SinkScience #14 - Faucet Powered Head Lamp Generator</a> on <a class="embedded-howcast-url" href="http://www.howcast.com" target="_blank" alt="www.howcast.com">Howcast</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-8394705778414390437?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-1460250495496326992009-12-12T18:51:00.000-08:002009-12-12T18:52:00.410-08:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEL7yc8R42k&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEL7yc8R42k&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-146025049549632699?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-29518404284912747942009-12-08T12:48:00.000-08:002009-12-08T12:53:40.879-08:00Just a stones throw away I have to check this out.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zmhXNRhNNDI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zmhXNRhNNDI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-2951840428491274794?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-2217970214834093892009-10-28T07:26:00.000-07:002009-10-28T07:28:57.732-07:00If the UK can increase usage of mini hydro power why cant the United States, it blows my mind we are dependant on foreign oil when god has provided us with Sun wind and Water to harness power from.

With the size of turbines and "water wheels" shrinking (as well as price) we can now each look to Hydro power as an alternative.<br /><br />President Obama has pledged to invest over 150 billion in alternative energy, FINALLY someone with out a conflict of interest with Oil.<br /><br />Frankly I am not sure why the former president was allowed to own so much oil stock to begin with. Why is it a "conflict of interest" did not apply?<br /><br />Perhaps politicians are above the law?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36982045-8514855204697166478?l=whatishydropower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>samnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36982045.post-87615339544522436582007-12-15T11:01:00.000-08:002007-12-15T11:05:54.041-08:00Excellent guide on Hydro power, if you have a good flow and also your water falls far enough hydro power is a viable alternative.
