Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.

Archimedean screw generator at Otley

View this post on Instagram

Archimedean screw generator at Otley weir. The slow rotation is quiet and fish friendly and the 3.7m diameter twin screws generate up to 350kW and make enough electricity over a year to power 300 homes. Hard to get a decent view of due to the trees and steep banks. #greenenergy #hydropower #hydroelectric #archimedesscrew #river #otley #riverwharfe #renewableenergy
