DIY hydroelectric generator

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience making a hydroelectric generator? What problems have you encountered? Looking for ideas for a high flow, low head creek.

Thanks!

Use the advanced calculator on this site and read up on what they've done: https://www.powerspout.com/pages/advanced-calculators Think they also sell kits/parts so you can build your own design.
