[/QUOTE] I've long been interested in micro hydro and other forms of alternative energy. My dream is to some day own a piece of land with a decent size stream and (with a bit of wind and solar, maybe) go off-grid.
Ive long had the same dream. I think it was an article in PM way back in the 70's that got me thinking about it. Ideally I'd also have mineral rights to a natural gas source so that I should have a source of power during the dry season.
So the Beck Plant(s) would be the left ones in the photo I posted?
Did you see the cable car running between the two plants about 20 feet above the river?
Of course on the US side our original plant (Schoelkopf) fell into the river one morning in 1960. Thats why the RMPG is so much newer looking (circa 1963).

Yup, that's them.
I didn't see the cable car, unfortunately. Nor did I know that the original US plant fell into the river!
If you're interested in alternative energy, you should check out Home Power magazine. You can download it free from their web site: http://www.homepower.com
ANDY ....have a peek at the site.... www.arisio.it they are close to you...they extrude aluminum for framing systems ...they are not heatsink manufacturers...But the extrusion could be used for DIY applications
I bought some hollow 4inch C channel extrusion that would be great for those wanting liquid cooled amps ...just cap the ends and pipe thread it
