Recent Activity - dealing with the mark i got on my hand in.
I received a poor grade as a result of not following all the proper guidelines of the paper therefore I am planning on re-writing my proposal and possibly changing my topic possibly building and testing a Pelton wheel and seeing if it might be cheeper then buying a pre-made one from a big supplier. The Problem with this is can i afford to take the summer off of work to build this machine to create an alternative source of power for my grandparents horse ranch.

I don't know if you have heard of this book "The Micro-Hydro Pelton Turbine Manual," by Jeremy Thake. because when I was thinking of doing a Pelton Wheel for my research Topic all the sites that I looked at mentioned this as a good place to begin, so might be worth looking into.
