The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes.
- Even smaller turbines of 200–300 W may power a single home with a drop of only 1 metre.
- Pico-hydro setups typically are run-of-stream, meaning that a reservoir of water is not created, only a small weir is common, pipes divert some of the flow, drop this down a gradient, and through the turbine before being exhausted back to the stream.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pico hydro article was read about 7,700 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
