SELECTING A SITE PowerPal is designed for use in a wide range of locations. There are two cr itical factors that influence power output – head and flow. Head is th e vertical distance between the turbine and the water source (for ebay), m easured in meters. Flow is the amount of water that passes through the turbine at any inst ant, measured in l ...

Measuring Flow The best way to measure the water flow is to tak e a piece of pipe the same diameter as the penstock, insert it in the stream or da m where the flow is expected to com e from, and measure the flow from there. In the diagram below, a short length of pipe (less than 1 meter) is buried into the side of a small ‘dam’ using mud or imp ...
