Motors as Generators for Micro Hydro Power

Brothers Christmas present. He was happy

This is a technical manual so don't expect a thrilling read! As with all Practical Action publications the info is set out in a really straightforward way and is designed to empower the reader with proper practical knowledge fort a quite theoretical subject. A really well laid out little book containing clear, useful and in depth information.

Much to little 'practical' advice - will be a good reference book on subject but not supportive of planning efforts

I suppose it is what it says it is - a practical guide. Good if you know little about induction motors, but very light on technical detail if that's what you want. I suppose I'll now have to do what I should have do in the beginning and refer to an electrical machines text book.

This book does exactly what is is supposed to do...tell you what is possible and what is not. That being said, you will start on a path of discovery that will end only when you have exhausted your curiosity.
