It has been used to drain lowlands in the Netherlands and in modern times as part of sewage systems to pump sewer effluent. It has only been a recent development that the screw has been applied to power generation.<\/p><h2>Type of generator<\/h2><p>Induction (asynchronous) generator \u2013 to generate single or 3 phase AC electricity.<\/p><p>The generator is excited by the existing grid, the frequency automatically matches the existing grid with no need for inverters. The generator\u2019s have a brake that is activated by the grid, if the grid power goes out the brake comes on and at the same time the 3 phase motor loses excitation and stops generating power. We have chosen this type of generation because of availability of mass produced, relatively inexpensive, reliable and available gear motors to be used as generators.<\/p><h2>The Basics<\/h2><p>The weight of the water falling through the screw turns the screw which turns the gear box and generator and produces electricity as it turns. The diameter of the screw increases as the design flow increases. The length of the screw increases as the \u201chead\u201d or vertical drop increases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e46d1d\" data-id=\"6e46d1d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18b8fb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"18b8fb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">VIDEO INFORMATION<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2104b55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2104b55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10688\" src=\"https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/info-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/>Learn more\u2026<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aa5ed4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"5aa5ed4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/vIRwMKctc_s&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3442693 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3442693\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Watch this video for an overview of the technology via a tour of our small test site.
