Harris Hydroelectric Turbine Generator
adjustable field alternator or adjustable P.M. alternator
with Pelton wheel & up to 4 nozzles

This hydroelectric battery charger uses a Harris cast bronze pelton wheel and an alternator in a powder coated aluminum housing.   This model is available with 1, 2 or 4 nozzles installed at the factory.   Nozzle(s) can be up to 1/2 inch in diameter.

Each hydroelectric system is custom-built to match your site specifications.  A flexible hose penstock with shut-off valves is included on machines ordered with more than one nozzle.  Valves are provided for all nozzles when ordering a multi-nozzle unit.  The hose connections to the nozzles allow for easy disassembly and/or tilting up the unit for inspection and cleaning.

These units come standard with a Motorcraft-type high output alternator with variable field rheostat and dc output ammeter that allows the user to set the field current to the optimum for maximum output.

An optional permanent magnet brushless alternator is also available with a mechanical field adjustment.  This alternator is 15-30% more efficient than the Motorcraft alternator, produces less heat, and therefore lasts longer.

Maximum achievable power output is 750 watts for 12Vdc systems, 1500 watts for 24Vdc systems, and 2500 watts for 48Vdc systems.  Order fan option below for systems operating above 500 watts.  Made in USA
