16 years here!

Just use the electricity you produce to pump water into the tub. Unlimited energy!!!

XCritonX you will use more power than it produces.

just open your all your faucets. The hydro pressure from your water company should be strong enough.

joebonsaipoland. people who are lucky to have a stream on their property can have a nice hydro system. wish I had that!

I can't speak for others but, using faucets adds to my city bill ie " I pay for water" I do believe his idea/turbine gives you free energy from natural running water source(completely free)..if your water is free then use faucets to ones heart content :-)

So how big or small of a creek could be used? It's year round. We tried measuring gpm with a 5 gallon bucket.

Ventury effect?

@@justfixitchris8361 no

@@allywilkeforsenate so what is it then?

@@justfixitchris8361 Volume too Velocity change, but not ventury affect. Just increasing water speed.

Yeah, that damn unpredictable Sun goes up and down when it wants to, while the droughts come and go at a certain time. I fully agree.

lol

lmao

Solar has no moving parts, less to go wrong. I would recommend having both, with battery backup. But I live in the suburbs and don't have either.

Droughts, frost and cluttered pipes

Dang! How many kw is yours?

It is a impeller centrifugal volute type may be

Are you an engineer now?

Is that before or after I scope out the area with my AR and infrared for heat signatures, boom, say night night.

300 feet at high voltage 3ph AC from the turgo, gets rectified closer to the 24V battery bank, perfectly acceptable. 24v wouldn't make it past 100ft.

I am very sad that your house burnt in jungle fire ..please do not worry about with in few days i will patent my technology of raising water upto more than 10 meters high into water tank without the help of any electric water pump . As soon as my patent is successful i will allow you to make electricity not only for your own house but you can supply electricity to your neighbours and earn profit according to your country's law . Please keep in touch with me Thanks

Rifled potato gun barrels are out there.

Wrong. That was being argued by Tesla and Edison well before we had high current switching transistors controlled by high speed electronics to recreate AC artificially from DC using inverters. There are plenty of long distance high voltage DC cables including under the sea.

There is a transmission line from the pacific north west which carries power down to LA. It is operated with DC power because of the markedly increased current carrying ampacity of the lines when DC power is being run through them. When power lines carry alternating electric current the actual flow occurs in the area of the wire that is furthest from the center. An AC Current will not make use of the complete cross section of the conductor as it's flow path. That makes the ampacity; current carrying capacity expressed in amperes; of any conductor less when it is carrying AC power. The higher the frequency of the AC power the larger the difference in any given conductors ampacity. The reason that most of the electrical transmission grid operates on AC power is that it is less expensive, with the presently available technology, to change the voltage of AC power than it is DC. To maximize the power in watts that any given transmission line can carry the voltage is raised to the highest practical level that the conductors can be insulated for. Current and voltage are inversely proportional. At any given wattage as the voltage goes up the current goes down. Since the capacity of an electric conductor is how much current it can carry without damage to the conductor itself or it's insulation any given size of conductor has a fixed maximum current. When you raise the voltage applied to that current it can carry more power, in watts, than it could at a lower voltage. The only place the voltage conversion costs of DC current is less is on transmission lines that are carrying current a long distance to a single point of use or conversion to AC. If the transmission line in question is part of a grid which has power drawn from it at multiple locations the conversion costs at multiple points is less for AC than it is for DC. -- Tom Horne

2Drezik Thank you sir.

No Big Deal!! He just bought the shit!!!

lol It shouldn't be too difficult. I've seen some pretty big power strips at Home Depot. Be sure to only buy appliances with green power cords, so they'll be camouflaged in the grass.

Haha

Idk whether to call u guys in the comment good or evil

Ask any lad from the City of Liverpool England (scouse feckers) they will send you out instructions for exactly how to go about it.

4:10 he pushes it through a rectifier, so he ends up with ~50V DC eliminating inductive losses (skin effect, line capacitance, etc.) Calculating losses using a generous 10 AWG wire, and assuming "10,000 watts of power per day" means "10kWh of energy per day", 416Wh (per hour, negate hours for 416W), 8.3A, gives us a voltage drop of almost 20V, or 40% of the power spent heating the cable. BOOOST THAT VOLTAGE!!!

Well it looks like the 250' of wire is all AC. Hes not rectifying it till it hits the house. You can see him doin that at around 5:40 . So it should be fine to run AC with that length.

hello, it's not whether it is dc or ac it is the voltage and the resistance of the wire. example; if you have a 12v 100-watt light bulb which draws 8.3 amps (100/12=8.3 amps) running close to your power source, the majority of the power being used will make it to your bulb. Now if you want to move that bulb, say 250 feet away from the source, and you use 14ga wire, which has a dc resistance 2.5 ohms per 1000 feet you'll now only have a 15 watt light bulb loosing roughly 85% of your power to wire losses. 250 feet of wire times 2, because you need 2 conductors, is 500 feet wire. So you'll have 1.25 ohms of resistance in the wire and that times the current of 8.3 amps is over 10 volts of drop across the wire leaving less than 2 volts for your bulb. This is the same for 12v rms ac more or less. Now ac is more attractive because you can step up the voltage and greatly reduce your losses with a simple transformer. That same 100-watt light bulb but a 220 volt version draws only 450 milliamps at 220v. now you'll only lose 570 millivolts (.45*1.25=.57) with 14ga wire. Which is about a 1/4 of watt of wire loss versus 80+ watts.

It looks like he was saying he was using 10AWG 3wire for 300 feet and was running at 48 volts no load. Under load something like this might run about 300W max which at around 48 volts is only 6 amps. On 10 AWG at 300 feet you can expect about a 3v drop for 6 amps of draw which is only about 6.5%.

My last post was only for demonstration purpose of voltage drop. The 48v he speaks of in the video is open circuit voltage. With no load, there is no voltage drop. cheers

Thad ward bull shit. dc is not ac and it does matter for voltage drop if its one or the other

You're a genius. I was trying to figure out why the fan was there.

Rough guess is they decided to leave the fan in the design to keep the electrical end cool, seeing as that part is not actually in the water. Of course that cooling air also makes noise so I suppose it could be ducted and baffled if the extra sound level is a concern. Actually the whole thing could be enclosed in say a cement tile similar to a small septic tank, and that would kill 90% of the noise. OTOH, you'd have to make provisions for cleaning / service, which being out in the open solves. All of that "fine tuning" takes time and money so best left till after the rest of the bugs are worked out.

Walter Johnson these units are nowhere near as loud as the camera makes them to be most people have a box built for them to sit on two discharge which takes a lot of the sound away.

+Kenney Madsen you can mask it in anti sound barier planks ........

Put a box over it or a wall around it to muffle or redirect the sound.

Kenney Madsen the creek itself is very loud when your in a silent bush ......I've never been in the bush and it was quiet.

Thats right the sound of the stream will dround out the sound of the generator

Place it in an old refrigerator/freezer with a trap on the drain to air seal it

This unit running at 11 PSI 260 watt @ 24 volts 10.4 amps if you would like to order you can call Spencer Langston at 843 319 4830

turgo turbin :) Couldn't resist

TURGO!

66blacksunshine turgo...

the power that is produced is referred to as "wild" ac. meaning the frequency is not constant. with a hydro system, it would be easy to get the required 60 hertz, but usually people feed the wild ac into a full wave bridge rectifier, then into a inverter, then into a breaker panel, or grid tie to back feed the commercial power. the voltage output is another issue. the system in this video is a permanent magnet alternator. ideally you would want to be able to regulate the field to help keep the voltage more stable.

Mike Shea think: - lights flicker, or get bright then blow out. - clocks don't keep time. - refrigerator tries to kick on, but the power sags, the refrigerator compressor motor stalls (eventually burning out) and your computer crashes. And other such fun. Clean, controlled power beats unregulated voltage and frequency power.

Absolutely... buuuut I don't think your city will approve of the use of their water in such a manner.

scott bleackley Yes that is a thoroughly stupid question in so many different ways.

Milo B Why would your doubt make it rainproof?

@@JS-qg1ie Hahaha I don't remember, probably because the actual generator isn't contained I imagine it's because the windings look like they're open to the air.

Ya, he needs to construct a ‘pool’ so water velocity at the intake is like almost nothing. The quiet water in the pool will settle stuff that can be cleaned periodically instead of the supply line having to take every piece of debris and silt that goes by.

Exactly my thought. The turbine is very anemic for that kind of pressure and flow. He's at about 20% of what he can produce with a good turbine, a lot less than that compared to a multi-stage turbine.

i think if he had bigger turbine he could have directly utilize produced electricity without the help of batteries

ya lol - he's gonna blow that lil turd up!

+Marc water flowing that fast continuously needs EXETREMELY cold temperatures to actually freeze, if your creek doesn't freeze over during the winter I doubt this would freeze over.

That mist will freeze things over real quick though!

a Good flowing creek will freeze along the edges but not so much in the middle. If it does pool in a spot.. only the top would freeze over while allowing water to flow under the ice.

If it did try and freeze then right there is a power supply. Get a heater lol. Nothing goes together like electric heaters and water spray lol.

He's in the mountains of Virginia, that thing will freeze solid and crack seams. I'd be more worried about no protection on that plastic upper fan assembly, one stick falls into it from a tree and that thing is shattering blades and then off-balance, quick bearing damage, wear on the drive shaft and its soon a $950 creek ornament.

Yea if you do some minor fabricating and engineering you can have a super nice silent setup

they have better and quieter micro-pico generators that put out in excess of 1.2kwh in 3rd world countries than this noisy open contraption. with that amount of flow you could run a much larger rig than this, or several smaller high output generators.

Thanks

have you consider this also , lots of problems solved waterotor.com/

zombie apolypse coming your ways boys. Git on ur tin foil hats

training against the zombies was a real thing in the military budget hint zombie is code for civilian (the generally act the same when you think about it)

Permits?!! That’s hilarious. And a sure-fire way to get told ‘no’ or get more government interfering in your life me thinks.

haynerbass Cuz this is Merika! And most of us are dummer than all git out. Lol

There isn't a font size large enough for the "HAR!" that I think is appropriate to your response. I just read it to my girlfriend and we're both laughing. I was born in the states and grew up in Canada and I have had some dumb ass questions from both sides of the border. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

That would use / need power from somewhere. Or maybe I’m not understanding? You can’t ‘make’ power from something that takes power to run. Minus the inefficiencies and you’ll net less power than you started with.

@@fishhuntadventure old comment but I was thinking if the pool's already running and you have a discharge line could you not offshoot some of that discharge into a peloton.
