The river turbine is directly connected to a battery bank that recharges 24 hours a day thanks to the continuous flow of the river. Even at minimum capacity, enough energy is generated to power the standard electric devices found in a residence such as a refrigerator, a TV set, a computer and lighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"small-note\">*Note that the diagram above is a simplified version to easily understand the basic principles.

It is possible to connect several turbines together on the same battery bank for greater capacity and power a small community or meet greater energy needs. You can transport multiple turbines to a designated area, assemble and install a mini-farm in record time. The micro-grid set up will allow a small community to directly power standard, off-the-shelf electrical equipment and appliances. It is an ideal system for countries with rainy seasons lasting several months per year, like the mousson in India and South-East Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnailLinkLeft
