can't you make it louder?

[tofo2]

Lot of energy remains in the water. Lot of splashing. Look for "pelton wheel" designs and you will see how to get more energy out of the water. Water should fall dead to the ground.

Like when you throw a ball at the back of a bus moving away of you with half the speed of the ball. The ball will drop to the ground and the bus has got all the impulse. Wheel should turn at half speed of the water and firmly redirect the water in the direction it came from. No splashing.

I think this produce 7.5kw per day. I seriously doubt this has enough power to produce 7.5kw per hour.

[thepathan100]

the rpm is very low i cant belive that i will produce 7.5kw

[kitchensink955]

ilang power ba ang na gegenerate nito?

[sirtom68]

That thing has to have the torque to make enough sparks to run my house. It also makes enough racket to make me wanna move. Night John Boy, night Sue Ellen, night Jim Bob

[epindonta]

7.5 KW/Day or 7.5 KW/hour???

[zychbartosz]

@epindonta

7.5 kW is a POWER and 7.5kWh is an ENERGY ;)

7.5 kW * 1 hour gives you 7.5kWh...

when 7.5kW * 1 DAY gives you 7.5kW*24h=180kWh...

and 7.5kW*30minutes gives you 7.5kW*0.5h=3.75kWh of ENERGY

[epindonta]

@zychbartosz

so, output power in the video just 180 KWh?

[AlexRyteuBart]

@epindonta 7,5kW x 1h = 7,5kWh

7,5 x 24h = 180kWh

...it is just 7,5kWh, dont know who use kWdays, as far as I know kWhour is a standard

[AlexRyteuBart]

@epindonta Which one??

[AlexRyteuBart]

@epindonta 7,5kWh is twice more than you need to run your home ;) With 180kWh you could supply whole village :D

[epindonta]

@AlexRyteuBart I just wonder, how can the volumeof water in vid can produce electric 7.5 kw ?

confusing......

[AlexRyteuBart]

@epindonta There is quite a lot of water and is running relatively fast... it could be 7.5kW

[epindonta]

@AlexRyteuBart /watch?v=AM234CvVmU4 see this video , it said produce 24 kW a day in 00:59

[AlexRyteuBart]

@epindonta I believe they said 24 kW per day to make it more impresive... because 1 kWh does not sound great ;) Anyway as far as you can find, most, if not all physics book use kWh.

[flamedrag18]

I like how you diverted the water to send through the wheel, but have it right back in the river after use, very clean and this won't impact the environment at all, great job.

[yellowmetalcyborg]

That's actually not bad!! I have a stream about that size right next door, I might give this a try. 7.5KW is pretty impressive, and quite worthwhile.

[aloisgault]

7.5 kw is awesome that is 2-3 american house holds, probably 5 in your country?

[slobhinav]

Hi, thank you, very detailed advice.

One question, does power systems fall under electrical engineering? Or mechanical?

[slobhinav]

You have to make the diameter of the wheel bigger, it is spinning at too many rpm's

[ThePowerExcess]

@slobhinav I guess it depends on the number of poles their alternator has.

[slobhinav]

@ThePowerExcess

Actually, i am an idiot.

I should have said, connect a smaller wheel to the bigger pulley, so the smaller wheel moves faster, turning the generator faster. Will that produce more electricity?

[ThePowerExcess]

@slobhinav I am not expert, still a power systems student.

As far as I know it depends on the kind of generator.

If they are using a synchronous machine as a generator then the rotation speed of the shaft will remain constant at all times, no matter the load. So you can't chance the rotation speed.

If they are using a asynchronous machine (this is unlikely) then there is no point etheir. It is hard for me to explain in english, I hope you have the courage to read my next comment as well@

[ThePowerExcess]

@ThePowerExcess You see the energy produced by the generator depends on the energy on the shaft (produced by the torque of the water). The energy on the shaft equals "torque" times "rotation speed".

If you rotate it fast then you have less torque (smaller diameter).

If you rotate it slowly then you have less speed.

In both cases the energy stays the same.

If you want to learn more about electric generators please feel free to pm me.

This is wht I think.

[PlayThatAgainSam]

How many gallons per minute is running through your system?

[dotcombatgames]

this is great! an investment for batteries to store the power would be a good idea to

[Unguidedone]

@fittingciobb i was going to make a in-depth reply but just going to mark as spam

[nit23s]

I want to generate electricity from a mini waterfall (water falling from 3-4 feet) to glow 3 bulb of 60watts.Is it possible.how much watt motor will i require for it and how much force of water.please reply as soon as possible .My email id is nit_speed@yahoo.com

We are researching water wheel driven generators to supply small amounts of

220/115vac in mountains of North Carolina,USA. Your design is pleasing to the

eye and functional.My e-mail address is KWWright2@yahoo.com

masterminds!..i love it!..lol! F big brother and the power co!  nice job!
