Waterwheel 2

[Xissorplane]

Without being an expert, you might be able to get more power, by increasing the gearing. A whaterwheel works best when it runs slow, so it doesn't create a lot of turbulence (lost energy)

If you got the parts, try some different gearing (and thereby wheel speed)

And another thing, the chain looks very slacky.

it's an ametek 40VDC permanent magnet tape drive motor form the USA.

I've just changed it to a Windblue Power motor (see my other videos) 150rpm gived 12V.

you have a transformer to charge batterys or something?

Have you consider a pipe with a turbine in it?

not bad, but do small waterfall and lot of more power this waterwheel around 15-30% but with waterfall not big 50-60cm and 2-3xmore power

That is so great. Did you build it yourself? Are you powering your house with it?

that thing goes pretty fast but how much power does it generate

[pogster100]

30W+ 24 hours a day!
