Canoeboy 3,144 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 http://youtu.be/BJ2sr1iMtTI A large hydro installation using Parker SSD 890 AFE's for the regen inverters. The screws weigh around 40 tonnes each and run 24 hours a day. The hydropower scheme was built by Jackson Civil Engineering and is being managed by the Environment Agency. When both the screws are running they should provide more than half the power for the Queens berkshire residence. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onoff 869 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 PLEASE! My shed is for small scale hydrogen and free energy collector experiments only! Mind you the valley road running past the house was once unmade and in times of heavy rain a natural water course or so the older locals tell me. The last couple of days I could have dammed it I reckon! Bio-gas digester / generator based on some obscure Nepalese plans is the next project with free "fuel" from the local stables! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technician 131 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) When used as a Spaan pump the same mechanism isused to lift sewage out of the collector pit into the startof the processing sequence.It was one of my most unforgettable sights in Dewsbury.Did it really take the entire Roman army to kill Archie?I read that it was one Roman soldier who killed him whenhe refused to acknowledge his presence. The Roman armyhad instructions to take him alive. Edited October 14, 2013 by Technician 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
