This is a picture of the overflow from the pond. This is a pretty normal rate of flow about 5 gals a min. Hope to use this potential energy to generate some electricty.
This could be my turbine for the micro hydro power system.
If you enlarge the picture you can see fish in the pond.

That's one thing I wish we had on our land - running water for hydro. Very cool. :)
I enjoyed your pictures. I'm sure the relief from the feed bill will be nice, prices sure are high. I keep debating about pasturing the pigs, but I may just end up doing it if for no other reason than that they could eat a bunch of acorns and hickory nuts. :)

I would love to get some sorta homebrew hydro power up and running in the near future.
In the days of old when farm animals were turned out all summer long it seems that acorns, beech and hickory nuts were great to fatten a hog. Keeping them up helps to watch their health and overall well being also. Remember, "The eye of the master fattens the calf". Pretty sure that hasn't helped you make up your mind. Gather them up some nuts and and see how they gobble them up.
