If you
want to produce more power, I would suggest a larger than 1" pipe to
increase your volume. Pelton
wheels work on a ratio of pressure (head or elevation) and volume (cubic feet
per second or gallons per minute) The size of the pipe will also limit that due
to friction loss of the pipe so the larger the pipe the more potential volume.
Your volume is also obviously limited by the total volume you have available at
your source. If you
have more volume you can have less head and vise versa. A good
resource for this are renewable energy catalogs, like Real Goods, Jade
Mountain, Alternative Energy Engineering. You make have a local company that
sells these products. They can help you size your system. What you
need to figure out is how much energy do you need at any one time. Penny
