HydroCoilHydroCoil®® Power provides Power provides
Electricity generated by a transformational turbine.
Providing Clean, Low-Cost energy from un-tapped, renewable micro-hydroelectric resources.
In the Micro Hydro categoryIn the Micro Hydro category
Electric potential: up to 100 - 200 kW at a site. Low Head: water drops less than 20 meters.Flow Rate: Gallons / Minute (gpm) for HydroCoil turbine in mid-range, ~ 800 gpm (.05 cumecs)
