How to build a hydro-electric generator out of a 5 gallon bucket | Alternative Energy | Forums

I'd love to try, but our creeks are pretty low most of the year. I do plan on building a spring house, and if I can make a deep enough reservoir i might be able to get enough pressure by piping it down hill. I always thought hydro would be a cool way to produce electricity, but everything I have read is that if you aren't in an ideal set up it's cost prohibitive.

This could possibly be a game changer in that regard.
