What size of wind turbine would i need to heat a average size house? Would a wall mount be any use?
Most wall mounts have the life span of a firefly and the output hardly sufficient to power a 20 amp bulb.What size of wind turbine would i need to heat a average size house? Would a wall mount be any use?
Household solar panels are normally around 4kw so probably 4-5kw turbine dependent on usage.What size of wind turbine would i need to heat a average size house? Would a wall mount be any use?
Id love a small hydro but apparently u either need a big fall or big volume from any1 iv asked. Is this the case or could some1 on here shed some lightYou could get one to run a GSHP maybe? An 8kw pump will use about 2.2kwh when running.
I’d love to be able to setup a small hydro to do similar

The base 4 kw system for a house is based more upon the size of the average roof rather than having anything to do with the energy requirementsHousehold solar panels are normally around 4kw so probably 4-5kw turbine dependent on usage.
Same here, have u seen anythin that would work with that that would say heat the water and radiators as if it was constantly doin it surely it wouldnt be consumin major power as it would only be toppin up the heat rather than havin to go flat out to heat cold waterYes, we’ve got neither really just a steady flow
Give me the highest point and lowest point of your land that the stream runs through and I can then give you a rough estimate of what power you can expect from different pipe diameter flows.Id love a small hydro but apparently u either need a big fall or big volume from any1 iv asked.

Thats all you need. Give more details and pictures and I can give you better advice.Yes, we’ve got neither really just a steady flow
Your missing a trick here. The water power needed for running a 1kw immersion would provide power for a 3kw heat pump with the flowing water being the heat source.No, but I’m sure a 1kw immersio heater in the buffer tank running 24/7 would dramatically reduce power consumption if only I coukd get a 1kw hydro setup….
Aww i wouldnt know the answer to that without hirein a laser level. Also what is the best way to determine how much volume of water is flowinGive me the highest point and lowest point of your land that the stream runs through and I can then give you a rough estimate of what power you can expect from different pipe diameter flows.

I’m lucky as it is to have 12 feet of drop and a 6” twin wall is running approx half full. It use to power a water wheel on side of house intill we re directed it slightlyThats all you need. Give more details and pictures and I can give you better advice.
get a bucket (3 gallon)and time how long it takes to fillAww i wouldnt know the answer to that without hirein a laser level. Also what is the best way to determine how much volume of water is flowin
Good idea. Il have to get a dam made when i get a chanceget a bucket (3 gallon)and time how long it takes to fill
