PAT Pump as Turbine

[ThomasS]

Advantages: Cheaper than custom made turbines

Disadvantages:
No water jet adjustments possible, therefore works with high efficiency only with a given amount of water.
As soon as water decreases, efficiency also decreases, and therefore power output decreases even more.
This is not a problem, if you have more water than you can use.
The problem can partly be overcome if you use 2 smaller pumps, and shut one off if water decreases.
