My micro turgo turbine and car alternator

[nazifdaniel]

better using turbo charge fan.

[wyrrox]

Very nice! This is handy for when there is a power cut.

[energieag]

send me a email energieag@libero.it

[makyboy1000]

Please can you tell me where you got the turgo turbine?

thanks :)

[photoartinsane]

Can you give some information about this... I want to build a turbine too for my home. I'll appreciate a full brief of the components used. thanks... and If you have a turbine for sale I'm interested on buying ... send me an e-mail at lbogdanalex@yahoo.com

[djpkis]

Hi very good draft, you know I want to do this project is that I'm studying Eng. electromechanical and I wonder if you could tell me where I can get pure or turbine Pelton wheel Pelton is that I'm from mexico and I find, I hope you can help me.

thanks

[martyrindia]

Why didnt u take E-bike wheel it is better choice..

[Mainer1945]

i like this

[machokerel]

Where can you get those wheels?

[2006Casino]

Most Definately needs to be proven although the design may look good, by experience it takes an incredible amount of water force to run an alternator.

[vBotics]

I'd like to see what happens when you put a load on it!

[MrWombatPPC]

How do you stop the Nosel from getting blocked with sh*te from the river.?

[xxx777aaa]

IT CALLED FILTER...screen/mesh/ trap system

[MrWombatPPC]

So how ofter do you need to walk up river to have to clean all the crud from out the filter system.? Could you not make a centifugal force type filter.? Then you'd not need to clean it out.

[proximu]

What u looking for?

[jakirshama]

Please can tel Me How Did You Find The Adapter

To Fit On Pelton Wheel

[energieag]

you have to build it with a lathe, it is very easy to do.

You can make aluminum.

You already have the turbine?

[sblomjom]

Where Did you get the wheel and the hardware to connect it to the alternator?

-Thanks

[Douglascs83]

What are the pros/cons of this system compared to a water wheel system?

[fruitpunchesaregood1]

instead of using a car alternator,use a CPU fan.

[TommeyLeeReed]

This will help you increase water pressure head.

[energieag]

the energy needed to put a pressure tank is higher than that we are able to extract.

The transformations of energy have always losses.

It could be used as an accumulation of excess energy (such as batteries).

[tylerkb12]

Thats a very interesting design. You said you are using it in a mountain house; is a small stream or river used to power this?

[energieag]

Thank you for appreciation.

is a small stream.

On the Italian Alps, we have many small streams.

The old villages (even only 3 houses) now uninhabited were all built near water

[tylerkb12]

Perfect! I've always wanted a piece of land like this. Now just connect the alternator to a bank of large batteries to keep them charged and use an inverter to power appliances. Might not be perfect but would definitely cut down your electric bill!

[jivah123]

Hi, where do you get your wheels from? Cheers

[venomousbird]

this is a good idea for producing power, but the rpms are not high enough for maximum output from the alternator, it's better to turn a large gear and run a belt to an alternator, I'm trying to work these details out, will hopefully have a video posted soon

[energieag]

I do not agree with you.

It is best applied directly on the turbine generator.

Other systems to multiply revolutions have always many losses efficiency!

That's why I used a small diameter turbine.

And the only turbine Solving these problems is the turgo.

The turbine in the movie with only 4 bar (40 meter net head) makes 2700 revolutions work.

Without load nearly twice

[venomousbird]

Perhaps you're right, after considering the complexity of setting up a gearing system. While a lower rpm wouldn't create the maximum output from the alternator, I suppose running at lower speed would put less wear on the bearings and it would be a lot more simple to put the power directly on the alternator shaft, rather than having separate mechanical parts.

[venomousbird]

I found a way around the lower RPM! if you simply rewind the alternator to have twice as many turns of insulated wire, it will be able to produce double the current at a given speed. The overall amount of power possible will drop, but this is probably not a problem, since most unmodified alternators will only give their maximum current at around 6000 RPM.

[anthony9thompson]

"only 40m of head?"

[RangieNZ]

pelton wheels need a decent head of water (e.g. 20+m), but the flow rates are normally pretty small. The rpm they put out is huge

[marthale7]

Where did you get the fittings for the alternator? I am putting a wheel on mine, and i am looking for connectors.

Thanks

[energieag]

I have made  with a lathe.

[haikael]

How long it's take to charge the battery?

[johnet58]

talk to me what the aim angle etc etc

[czarwright]

Very good Work. Keep it up.
