Your Water Power Solution
What we offer
We make the BEST Micro-Hydro Machines in the world
When you visited a few years ago We ended up getting the XStream Engine that you brought with you. It’s been working great ever since. Last year it got totally submerged under a couple of feet of water while it was still running. I brought it home and dried it out, fired it up and it still worked! Amazing.

After years of consistently improving the design he was able to create a highly efficient machine that was producing increased levels of power. It had become obvious that anyone with a suitable water source could be producing their very own renewable energy. With this idea in mind Paul established Energy Systems & Design in 1980.
Where it Started
Over 50 years of Innovation
In the 1970’s Paul Cunningham, owner and operator of Energy Systems & Design, had a need to power his off-grid house. He set off on a mission to create an efficient and reliable microhydro machine. Utilizing a car alternator type microhydro machine and the wheels he cast himself, he created the first machine. Through many hard-working days and design changes he was able to produce very efficient pelton and turgo wheels and sold these wheels to other enthusiasts.

Our Products
Our Engines
X-Stream Engine
One X-Stream can generate the power of two standard machines.
LH1000 Low Head Engine
The LH1000 is specifically designed machine to operate efficiently in low-head sites. It takes advantage of the same generator as the Stream Engine, however the water turbine component uses a low head propeller design.
Watter Buddy
This little machine generates DC power from a source such as a stream running down a hillside. Water is channelled into a pipeline with enough drop (head) to build up sufficient pressure.
1K Micro Hydro Power System
The 1K Micro Hydro Power System is one of Energy System and Design’s answers to a version of our Stream Engine that can provide reliable power for your needs at an affordable price point.
