Pelton water turbine generator powering lights

[HappyJackProduction1]

Pretty cool but i always wonder whats the trade off for the electric being generated, to use that your water bill will increase, to what degree i dont know but it could be more than just using the electric you already have lol

Nicely done.

How in the hell is anyone impressed by this? The power is coming from the wall, its not magically coming from the water. Dolts.

[IdahoViewing]

@jib1000 It is CLEARLY stated to be a SCIENCE PROJECT and NOT a practical application of anything other than the stated goals. To put it a different was it is a PROOF OF CONCEPT, DOLT!

[jib1000]

@IdahoViewing So its a proof of concept that you can reduce efficiency by adding some extraneous water turbine? DOLT

how badass is this really, thats really kool. cant wait too see that u come up with next,

i am not see this vedio due to slow working of you tube

[dakaha1]

gran trabajo amigo :)

[1crazyfocker]

nice model would make for a great classroom project to show how dams works good job

[mdivinc]

Total MORON! I have no patience for MORONS! Don't even reply! MORON!

[vexedrex555]

you are one talented person. i love it

[mdivinc]

Are you serious? You are useing electricity to power the pump. It would use less electricity to just plug the damn sign in! DUH

[JordanMaster22]

it still looks cool

[ellen0068]

I agree, I try to learn how to build/use it but this video only shows how to use electricity.lol

[deltafortress]

Its a gift/romantic thing give it a rest. It is plain to see the inefficencies of it but that was not his goal.

[djsnowman06]

the pump is a stand in for gravity . its a fun project and its not for the practical use rather than to construct something that works and learn about something. if you are looking for free energy or perpetual motion, laws of physics ... particularly friction will always be there so just give up on it

[Problemsolver33]

Great workmanship. Love that device! Looking to build microhydro project as educational oppty with kids. Do you have plans for this? Is that 1.9 amps @ 12V?

[backwoodsBrophil]

It's open circuit voltage is 14.5V, BUT notice the coils are just taped on-it has poor regulation (volts lower as load increases). Output can be increased by using some sort of stator (laminated steel, ferrite, etc) around coils. In the vid it's running about 3V @ 1.25A, rectified to power those LEDs. I've found the best load is a model train, which draws .5A @ about 9V. It can also power those 18VDC radioshack motors quite well! I'm out of characters so I'll send you a message with more info.

Is that a buldge pump! Cool I recycles the water too!! could you step it up to a 24v wind mill motor?

[jamescgale]

hey that looks like a pretty cool invention

[czarsolarhydrowind]

Hook it up to some 10 speed gears, to 24v motor and back to a 24v battery bank and recycle the power, then when 12v dies switch batteries.

nice craftsmanship man,

looks really good
