How much energy can we harvest from that? ==== Measuring the water level over a year. Implementing a water flow meter that is non intrusive. First Ideas: A camera that makes photos every hour and calculates the amount of water flowing through by hight of the water level exiting the tunnel of the bridge. research/hydroelectirc_wheel_at_the_kuckucksmuehle.txt Last modified: 2020/01/26 16:09by aimeejulia
