Micro-hydro power

Unfortunately I don't have enough of an elevation change at home for something like this, but it deserves a share.

Sniper that is an exceptional hydro build. I've looked at lots of hydro builds and that is one of the best I've seen.

I like this too on his site:


The modern, "developed" world is just too noisy and hectic. Over the years I have felt progressively desperate about the permanent noise in the city, living by the clock, and so on. Never ending traffic, alarm sirens sounding hundreds of times per day for no reason at all, neighbors listening to ugly music and being kind enough to turn it up loud enough that I have to hear it too, neurotic dogs barking fifteen hours a day, jet aircraft taking off and cracking my windows with their noise. And the noise is not only acoustical! Electric noise has risen to the point that amateur radio activity in a city is getting close to impossible. There could be only one solution: Away from the city, back to nature!

I feel exactly the same!!

What about his cabin building?

I was going to put the cabin link into it's own thread...

I am really enjoying that guy's pages. Especially this one:
The throw-away society (http://ludens.cl/philo/throwaway/throwaway.html)

In his Homo Ludens philosophicus section; its an argument against easy throw away culture and a return to craftsmanship.
