SinkScience #14 - Faucet Powered Head Lamp Generator

Help us caption and translate this video on Amara.org: http://www.amara.org/en/v/B07a/

Mini hydro-electric with MrfixitRick making power from faucet water pressure, using the Tesla CD Turbine and a Head Lamp Generator.

The Tesla CD Turbine is a home-made turbine, constructed from CD's, CD spindle, supermagnets, and glue. It is based on the principles of the amazing disc turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's.

Have a look at the Tesla for President '08 T-shirts there, too!

Great work ! I didn’t have an elaborate tesla turbine, the reason I clicked on this vid, but I used some toy motors, one with a fan for the water to turn and the other connected motor acted as a primitive generator to turn on one LED. I wanted to see if it was possible to have power return system every time I used the water. Work at a retail store seems to drain you of ever accomplishing anything though lol. Thank you for this vid, I hope it gets me off my butt no matter how tired I think I am.

Thanks for the comment.

Sometimes when one is exhausted, second wind kicks in. Some of my best ideas came at 3 am after a tiring day!

If only FULL financial backing had been given to Nikola Tesla... There is just no telling what marvels of science he would have contributed to the world.

But he wanted to give "free" electricity to everyone, so Westinghouse destroyed his lab and pulled his support.

I would have loved to see all he had planned for this phase of his genius.

I think you and he would have gotten along well together.

(Do you have a video or info on your "death mask"? That would be interesting!)

[MrfixitRick]

Thanks for comment! The original negative of the "death mask" is made by pouring plaster-of-paris on the person's face while they are in a relaxed state. When that is removed, a positive of the "death mask" is made of auto body-fill. I had the procedure done in a weekend workshop held by EJ Gold.

There is a movie of more mask faces at YouTube/watch?v=6_jvtj4hz9w

It's interesting to note that there was a death mask made of Tesla when he died.

You sir are great. I hope more young people like myself will be able to see your videos and get inspired with science.

[MrfixitRick]

Please keep your scam site from my quality videos, please, or you will be blocked.

try whit the blend machine

[DreamPharaoh]

that is definatley true, its amazing that I will get a moment of amazing desire to carry out an experiment when I am cutting a chuck roast for someone on a saw -- kind of sick now that I am thinking about it, lol.

the magnet pulls the other magnet turning it there is to much friction

though

This is perfect for blackouts!!! you sir are a genius.
