SinkScience #10 - Shake Flashlight Shaker

MrfixitRick demonstrates the Shake Flashlight Shaker, which generates electric power from faucet water pressure.

A Tesla CD Turbine is used to convert the kinetic energy of water into rotation through a magnetic coupler. From the coupler, a connecting rod to a magnet charges the built-in battery of the shake flashlight.

A second shake flashlight is shown charging simultaneously by wireless magnetic attraction to the first one, just by mounting it nearby.

Pondering Question:
If the turbine output water is used for something necessary such as filling a sink, is this not "wireless free energy from a Tesla device" ?? (hehe)

[lookkool3]

wont the capacitor blow up from over charging?

[MrfixitRick]

@lookkool3

Yes, anything could happen. This is an experimental apparatus and should not be left running unattended.

I was wondering if you know this? if the magnet was an electro magnet connected to a battery then moved in and out like your doing here ...would there be more electricity generated?

[MrfixitRick]

@bkfilipi

There could be more additional electricity generated if the magnet was an electromagnet...but it would require additional force to make it run.

Unfortunately, this device was at the limit of power that the faucet water pressure could produce, so an increased magnetic field with an electromagnet would stall the motion of the device.

your wasting water

[MrfixitRick]

@LUCKY4908

I get water pumped from a well. It's rained for about 8 months, so there is no lack of water here.

HAHA pretty fun, GREAT GREAT!

gfcgamer videos is easy to replicate as long have hard materials, and good water weight over the tubes going down.

Jennas explain quite well in his videos that use few voltage to make hundreds.

Tesla invented the radio...is that not practical?

Most AC electric motors today are of Tesla design, such as found in the amazing new Tesla car.

AC electric wires on poles over long distances have also proven to be fairly practical; Tesla pushed hard to make that happen.

And I understand that the original Tesla Turbine at Niagara falls is still working...

[HeBreaksLate]

@MrfixitRick I figured efficiency wasn't a prime concern. It never was for Tesla. A lot of amazing proof of concept stuff, but very little that we practically use today.

[MrfixitRick]

@HeBreaksLate

If the water pump is running anyway, say to fill a sink, then this system is 100% efficient. If the pumped water is not used, then this system is about 1% efficient.

BTW, efficiency was not one of my criteria in this experiment.
