How does it work, do you have to have large batteries that get charged by the turbines then you run a circuit off that, or there some kind of automatic load balancing for the whole house? Sorry to go a little off topic, it's just interesting stuff.
I wonder how hard it'd be to get a permit in Calgary for those. It's already a little bit absurd how hard it can be to get permits for solar panels - although I think I've heard that council is considering softening the process a bit to encourage green thinking - but I don't think anything's come of it as yet. So something that's moving and a bit of a visual attractant, man I could just see those bureaucrats having a hey day with it.

Turbines aside, I've been crazy busy trying to get the system up and running. I've built new breeder tank stands and the tanks last weekend. I didn't realize how easy glass was to work with, provided you have the right tools. I added a UV filter on a quiet one 3000 pump. and built a catwalk behind the main tank to allow for easier access. Ran a water test on the breeders for almost a week now and its all good, so I will be draining out the crap tap water and start RO (probaby take 3-4 days to fill the entire system (528 gallons now btw) Oh, and I made a water change unit that will make waterchanges about 5 min long and not have to touch a drop of water. I know, lets see some pics. I got them in the camera I just need to unload them tonight and post them. Tonight I promise!
