Congratulations to Dave and the folks in Ruby for getting the turbine deployed again. This is good news.

Congratulations Don,
Getting the wheel running and feeding power to the grid is a milestone. Thanks for the picture, it is a great graphic example of the forces at play in your system. You are doing some good work and you are getting some valuable…

Don,
This looks encouraging. I am with you on strong and simple.
I look forward to some kW-hr numbers, if you get a respectable output coupled with longevity, you have a winner.
Cheers,
Jack

Hi Don,
This looks like progress. You are working on one of the more difficult aspects of drag turbines (as you well know) and that is converting energy from a high torque device to useful shaft work. Will you be coupling this to the generator you…

Don,
You are working on what seems to be the hardest part of putting together a small scale hydrokinetic device. Effectively coupling a generator to a high torque, low rpm device is a challenge. Hopefully the Ginlong generator will be suitable.
I…
