im considering purchasing a property in the woods, it has a small stream with a pretty constant and somewhat rapid flow. The stream is the kind you find in someones back yard that you could probably walk across but might loose a shoe in the process (if that analogy helps). Would it be possible to make a water wheel or some other device and attach it to a car alternator to produce energy? lets pretend that all the energy produced goes directly into the electirc grid and sold to the electric company, could i expect to make decent money off of it or would i just be making pennies.? granted all this depends on the water flow, possibly something like this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWjtmf012WM&feature=related
or should i look into another idea?
