  • and when the water is finished? than what? :D i think this was allready invented long time ago, long time

  • how are the magnets oriented

  • @simplegadget1138 200 times per coil.

  • Please tell me how many times you wound the coil please reply.

  • lol the website posted a link to yur vid XD

  • Mam taki sam miernik ! Chińszczyzna z castoramy

  • Good job

  • The simple materials r good for this things! great vid

  • place the generator outside and let it run on rainwater, it's still useful

  • its too late to make a difference I know, but I believe HDD magnets are NS on one end and SN on the other, meaning if you pass the whole thing over a coil, it mostly cancels itslef out. You would do better with a magnet with a single polarization. Either that or only let half the HDD magnet get near the coils. Also alternating S and N facing the coils works better than just S S S. in case anyone is looking at this for their own science project.

  • can you tell me where you got your wire from plz?

  • sir, could you tell us how copper coil is connected together

  • sir, could u tell us where this 3 pin plug is connected to & why.

  • Generateur 24 V site Weeb discoide1451

  • real handy, i see lots of my village people connects hose to higher places at stream to get water, one diversion can power a room....

  • im in 8th grade trying to do this this video realy helps i just have trouble about getting an idea about getting the water back to the resavoir and keep using the the power my science teacher thinks im crazy totry and tackle this project i found ur project from google search and its realy helpful thanks for posting it

  • about how many barings and magnets did u use

  • I've been wanting to build something like this and connect it to my main water line to my house. I figured that the water is going to flow by use any way, so why not use that force to use.

  • @ssj7warrior

    that would mean leaving a hose running all the time which is pretty wastefull. better to put one in the main street sewer line with a diverter to keep the "solids" out of it. This would work especially well in a hilly city

  • @itsandbits1 the water would be contained within the system and be brought back to the water tank. No waste. The problem I think I would have would be to keep the generator spinning and make a case that would hold the water pressure. The sewer line is to brod and wouldn't allow enough pressure nor flow to turn a generator. If anything, a sewer system could be converted into a biogas system and be used in that manner. The trapping of "solids" would cause maintainance problems.

  • @ssj7warrior

    you would have to use more energy than you produced to pump the water back to the tank. Have you ever seen an undershot water wheel? it wouldn't plug and the rpm can be geared up if you have some torque.

  • @itsandbits1 The outlet of the water would flow becuase the inlet would be forced by the city water, no back flow. this presure is already there and is aways going to be there unless the city water comes for repairs or you don't pay your bill. There are a few devices like this used to power those sensors on automatic sinks. I am not sure what you are explaing about the undershot water wheel.

  • @ssj7warrior I don't want to hijack this guys vid any more but I'm just saying , the power is coming from the water pressure that we have already put energy into to pressurize so no free lunch

  • @itsandbits1 Maybe I didn't explain myself too well. I do that from time to time. The water is going to flow anyhow through the house lines. If I make some type of container that has a generator connected to it, it will be additional energy. Yes, I know it takes energy to put in the generator from the line but it would be free as in it wouldn't cost me money. I know there is an input of energy (motion) that is converted to an output of energy(electric). It will use the motion.

  • its called a free voltage man if u give the load on it i think ur magnents will not move its just a fun man...

  • man u r genius

  • what happens when u run outta water?

  • @TheDamHeroes Why not have a bunch of rain collectors connect to this unit for FREE ELECTRICITY, every time it rains?

  • The interesting thing, is that this is about as efficient as you can make a waterwheel + generator, since there's no gears or belts to add friction and sap energy from the wheel, the only friction is the bearings and they can be made very efficient indeed.

    Offcourse, since this is a school project, the manufacturing quality will be low due to no precision tools and lack of knowledge and experience. But they got the basics just right.

    Good job. :)

  • A+ guys, good job :D

  • Hi! What is the gauge of the copper wire you're coils were wound with? And approximately how many turns did you aim for each coil? The link to the instructions are helpful, but you've obviously built a superior model and just need a few more details to help replicate something similar, also for a physics project. Lastly, would you have any suggestions for the wire supplier? Thanks!

  • @narutogeese1 Well this is a college physics project. We completed it in first place accomplishing all objectives prescribed in the outline, and within the assigned budget. We're not trying to power an entire city. Perhaps you have designed a similar project with a similar budget ($50 USD) that produces higher wattage? If you have, please post a link!

  • @TheDamHeroes Hey guys this is great I'm very impressed ....$50 is brilliant.... for me its not about the power you have produced, its that your thinking outside the circle and that's where all great technology comes from ....once again congratulations

  • could you send me a diagram of how to connect coils?

  • greit!

  • cool stuff making electricity, aint it

    love the generator

    great work keep it up

    kind regards

    andy

  • how did you get the bearings on the stick 

  • Hey guys, I know a lot of you have asked how to build the generator and such so I am posting the site I got my ideas from. It has plenty of instructions and will give you a basic setup of how to build this.

    Thanks

  • BTW the link is under description.

  • What does it mean when you say that the coils need to switch between clockwise and counter clockwise?

  • why does the coils switsh between clockwise and counterclockwise, i've heard that all coils should be wound in the same direction?

    nice job!

  • Clever - Nicely Built...

  • can u pls. explain if how did u make it.. coz if its okay im gonna use this for my investigatory project in physics.. i really need it. thank u so much!

  • what materials you used?

  • what materials you used?

  • What did you use for the coils?

  • all your doing is your paying water bills for energy bills......

    this is great but dont use a hose from the water company

  • @runner784 First of all the water is coming from a bucket sitting on higher elevation. Second, this was a project for "school" with limitations and a $50 spending limit. The water could easily have come from a river or lake if we were aiming for that.

  • @TheDamHeroes Can you please make a video on how to make this? I really want to make this, it so cool!

  • @runner784 this is just an artificial test if he wanted to power stuff hed make a pipe line from a river

  • @runner784

    The apartment I was looking at charged for electricity, but the water was free.

  • the rotator handle should be hooked up to a dolor-store cart toy motor to allow the motor to rotate itself but still creating energy for other things...

  • Well executed, I say.

    I see so many using inefficient ways, like no ballbearings, or chains and belts to transfer power to the generator, but this is the basic way to do it. One wheel, two ballbearings, one generator, all set up on a single axle. Only things that gets worn out is the whaterwheel blades and ballbearings. Both of which can be made to last a long time. :)

  • this is really good idea .

  • the best video 5stars

  • very nice
