so this is generating 2 watts? eh not worth it

[TheDamHeroes]

@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, 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.

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

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

[TheDamHeroes]

@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.

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

[infotubeification]

how are the magnets oriented

[TheGalactus900]

@simplegadget1138 200 times per coil.

[Simplegadget1138]

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

lol the website posted a link to yur vid XD

@runner784

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

@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

Good job
