A new friend who want my help building a high powered ebike is also working on a hydroelectric project on his dairy farm that has an electric bill of over $1000/mo. It's up in the mountains at 4,000m of elevation and he has a small river with year-round flow and a whopping 200m of head . Even with just a 3" pipe he can produce an incredible amount of electricity at the 400gpm rate he is planning. (edited from original gph flow rate)
Hopefully he can negotiate a grid tie arrangement where he gets paid for the excess he generates.
