Does anyone make a "generator" that will provide electrical charging to a rechargable battery from the energy of an irrigation sprinkler? This would be used to maintain electrical charge on remote valve actuators.

It would cause a loss of head so the sprinkler would see reduced pressure.

Get a DC controller and use a solar panal. My Waterman surge valve controllers have a 12 volt gel cell, and a solar panel for daytime recharging.
