Micro Hydro Turbine

A micro-hydro turbine is located in an area of water where there is either consistent flow and/or height difference. As water flows past the turbine electrical energy is created (minimal output at this small scale). At LMC this could be used to take advantage of the natural spring water or inserted in the vertical storm leads within the building.
