My micro turgo turbine and car alternator

This video shows one of the many prototypes that I have realized to test my turbine. It is useful to have a car alternator (I used the one of my old fiat) coupled with my TURGO turbine. To tell the truth using a car alternator is not the better thing, due to the low-level performance and to the high number of rpm necessary to start to generate energy. So I advise against the use of it in general. Only in particular cases it could be justified to use it: if you don't have particular problems of power to be produced, or if the use is really sporadic, its use could be justified. Especially for the easy way to obtain the components, the system shown in the video is very cheap, because it's realised with recovered materials. This system is now in use in a mountain house coupled to a 75 Watt solar panel.


In questo video si vede uno dei tanti prototipi che ho realizzato per il test delle mie turbine.
Ho utilizzato un alternatore di macchina (la mi vecchia fiat) accappiato ad una mia turbina TURGO.
Occorre subito premettere che utilizzare un alternatore di auto non è la cosa migliore.
Per via del basso rendimento dell'alternatore, e del giti alti necessari per far si che inizi a generare.
Quindi ne si sconsiglia in generale l'uso. Solo in casi particolari potrebbe essere giustificato il suo utilizzo.
Se non si hanno particolari problemi di potenza da generare, o se l'utilizzo è veramente sporadico, il suo uso potrebbe essere giustificato. Soprattutto per il facile reperimento dei componenti.
Il sistema che si vede nel video è molto economico, perché realizzato con componenti di recupero.
Questo sistema è in uso attualmente in una baita in montagna accoppiato ad un pannello solare da 75 watt.

send me a email energieag@libero.it

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?

[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).

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

[nazifdaniel]

better using turbo charge fan.

[wyrrox]

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

[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

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

[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
