Good idea your water wheel turbine

You will get more power but you cannot utilise it, as to get the nominal volts, you will have to rotate the turbine with a required RPM to get voltages with which you can run your load

Huh interesting

3d printed metal? That's nothing but a damn pool ladder my boi😂

Simple and straightforward design. Good work! It may not be the most efficient as someone mentioned in another comment, but often simpler is better!

Hey, great job. By steadying the wheel, you were able to increase energy output. Great job trouble shooting, and noticing if you put the wheel further down, you'll get better output.You're getting the added force of gravity pushing down. 6.8 m/s2. Don't put it too far down, or I think you lose energy from a scatter effect (seems legit. I'm thinking of waterfalls. Maybe it doesn't matter at your height you're working with). Also, I still believe there is an ideal paddle size. If you have a constant water pressure, the size and weight of you're paddle matters by distance traveled per rotation, like tires on a vehicle. Too big, and you burn out the engine, too small and you'll never get anywhere. I bet someone has already figured out the ideal rotations per lbs of water pressure model. Also, the distance between each paddle matters. And finally, I started to wonder about the paddles themselves. Maybe a better shape that will capture as much resistance as possible. I feel like with a paddle, the energy is dispersed too efficiently, because it's allowed to go everywhere. Maybe a scoop concept might be better.

ok heat shrink on the connection will help protect the connections.

neat

I think something like that would work perfect pulling behind a kayak

That's cool! I wish I could design nice stuff like that.

This is pretty awsome but what's the sprocket driving?

Wooow, you looked so cool doing that

I applaud your efforts and walking the walk, but... an actual turbine fed by a pipe penstock will work so much better. Take a look at Harris hydroelectric, Motenergy, and Energy systems and design. These use Pelton and Turgo turbines. These are good for lower head systems.

I think after a bit of water that hub motor and gear sprockets are gonna start rusting, should put a cover over to prevent water from getting in, other than that looks cool

I confirm, you looked very cool.

goooood work budy

Really nice work. Excited to see what you do with it. I’m subscribed!

Don't put motor in the wheel, use a gear and keep motor upstair. Nice project ;)

You actually need a mppt charger, that utilizes the optimal value to get max power.

Amazing video! I’m building something similar myself… I’m designing and 3D printing a turbine similar in concept as to what a company called Waterotor is producing. I have a low head constant stream of water near my house and I’m trying to produce some energy with it. Maybe you can try something similar in concept in another video, but you definitely want to increase RPMs of the rotor, these slow moving waters won’t work without a gear system. And in that case, I think achieving as much torque as possible is the goal here

More RPM on the motor, its too slow. try gearing between the turbine and the motor. otherwise very nice work

Honestly surprised that the generator didn't perform better, look as if all stars were aligned with this project...

Full video is posted now🎉 guess how much power it made

Nice

Sangat menginspirasi😊

Can you let us know who printed that? Interested in 3D printed metal parts.

What 3D printer is this and how large of object can you print in height?

Get yourself a stepper motor and learn how to build a simple bridge rectifier son. You will get a LOT more usable power out of that than you will these cheap DC motors.

Suggestion 3 blades not 4 change angle of propeller so it makes power but cuts threw the water faster why still making more powersmaller gears more torque power

Basically, this takes energy out of the water by changing it's direction (due to being in a conservative force field) and by changing it's ending velocity. So you are getting energy from gravity and preexisting potential energy. So your optimum impeller design will necessarily change based on how you use it, whether horizontally or vertically. If it is fully submerged, you need to treat it as both changing the direction of the water within the confines of the turbine, and as a diffuser that changes in volume over the length as some function of the impeller design.

Instead of a direct drive you could have the gears on the motor attach to a derailleur setup so you can alter the speed and torque that the wheel turns the motor.

Yeah they were in fact touching lmao its not hard to fix just separate them a little but no you kept it like that even after saying im watching them touch lmao face palm

Should have spent the sixty seconds connecting them properly. 😅

Time to fix those connectors, Oops

You could do 2 tests. One with the propeller in the upper portion, and one at the bottom. You may need to add a buckt on the bottom, so no air gets in.

It will work. Question is, how much will it give. You should then implement a better electric system. BTW. I find shorts for technical stuff totally wrong. No date, no controls...

Change the angle of the turbine lower so the water can easily pass through and the turbine will spin faster

ADD MORE PITCH TO WORM DRIVE

You got a bridge rectifier in there my dude?

Adding a length of tube before the screw will create more water back pressure and a more consistent flow.

You need more downward pressure, like if you have a pipe and the water goes in and drops almost vertically, it would give more of a power reading.

why would you have the topside open? imo water flow = power, and being open its allowing the water to escape before using it to the full potential. so youre essentially letting the energy escape before flowing all the way down the turbine

Think it will work?

I think that would work better if it was inside a PVC PIPE THAT had a reservoir supporting the intake

Completely useless video demonstration. If I’m show you a car and it doesn’t start why would you want one? Same thing here.

That was unexpected 😂

Throw a multimeter across the leads.

la idea es buena! el tamaño no tanto para ese generador necesitas unir mínimo de 3 veces lineales por 4 de anchura! con suerte podrás obtener 150w
