This off-grid hydro power system has a major problem; too much power. Jeff has stumbled upon a small clan of off-grid homeschoolers and discovers that their power system is a major source of angst.

Their stream engine produces around 1200-1300 Watts continuously and their load controller must get rid of any excess power by dumping the power into a hot water tank. Image the struggle to use copious amounts of hot water!
