  • How make this "?

  • where do you get a generator like this

  • 800Watt nice that would just about power my pc, gimmieh one of those :P

  • well this idea is as old as the hills...

  • 5 bar is 72.5 psi which is about 130 feet of head yeah..

  • how fast is that water moving?

  • Hello have 5 bar pression

  • What? i don't understand you. how many watts is this getting? 800 watts and how fast is that water?

  • nice work friend,could you possibly biuld

    a 60 ft high tower with a tank on top to use city water pressure to generate cheap power ,it wouldnt be continuis but

    every time the tank filled you could drian it at a rate required by the pump

  • @NOBOX7 You'd have to pay for the energy to pump the city water up to it first (not worth it). An option that could work feasibly would be to build a trough on a gradual long slope creating head for your turbine. Or, if you were in an area with huge rainfall quantities, you could collect the rain into a huge cistern from a large rooftop and flow it down into a hydro gen, store the energy in batteries and use at your discretion. Only free and clean energy is from natural water, wind and sun.

  • @donsjuand i was considering using the city water pressure to fill the tank, not electricity, water is way cheaper then power, so it may be possible to store emergency power in this way, it wouldnt last long but iy seemd worth lookn into.

  • @NOBOX7 Gotcha :P  Interesting idea.

  • 5 lps & 130' head ? just a guess ???
