Design of River Flow Floating Portable Micro-Hydro

The river flow can convert to electrical energy as the renewable-energy source. Indonesia is one of a country has many rivers; however, for now, river flow that used as renewable energy is very least. Therefore, researchers have designed floating portable micro-hydro that is easy to develop by conventional people or rural people. It also uses easily obtained of materials. The micro-hydro intended to use low-priced materials; however, low RPM(Radius per Minute) generator is still expensive because it imported from another country. The floating portable micro-hydro will have other several advantages. That is, ability to adjust to the water surface, enabled to move around, easy installation, and it is maintainable. We expected for common people could be motivated to develop maintainable simple micro-hydro.
