Free Power for 16 years from a modified Washing Machine / Water Wheel

I've been living off grid for the past 16 years, I make my own electricity using an old washing machine I found at the dump.
I rewired the smart-drive washing machine motor to generate electricity, the generator is rotated via a water driven Pelton Wheel ( Hydro Turbine ).
Water goes into the intake, creates pressure due to the difference in height between intake and outlet nozzle. Water comes out of the nozzle at 60psi and spins the pelton wheel which is attached to the modified washing machine motor (now a generator).
The generator puts out 3 phase ac voltage which is passed through a 3 phase diode block rectifier to change it into dc, it is then fed directly into a 24v battery bank, a 24 - 240vac inverter is connected to the battery bank, 240vac travels up the power lines to my house. I can now power all my 240vac household appliances from the inverter
It makes enough power to heat my water and run all the appliances in my energy efficient house as well as most of the tools in my shed.
Occasionally I have issues with it and need to go down to the stream to problem solve, a small price to pay to avoid paying a power bill.

I’m amazed at how reliable these are. I worked at a company that serviced around 10 “small” commercial plants and there was always some little thing to deal with.

[@Mountain4]

By “small” I mean most of our units are under 250 kWh. Our intake pipes are big enough to walk around in if that gives you an idea of the difference between commercial vs home setups like this. Most of the hydro in the U.S. northeast is smaller setups like that, the big stuff is mostly up in Canada like hydro Quebec or out West.

My system runs at 60 volts (48 volt battery system) and is otherwise much the same; same advantages, same few problems! Cheers!

@@mudza92 Finally a wolf amongst these sheep. Great point I learned about this stuff in preschool.

[@illuminated2438]

Actually they sort of do teach this in school. Does everything have to be spoonfed? And why are you and other people so dependent on school? Have you ever noticed that all of the greatest inventions generally occur in isolation, away from schools? Anyone with knowledge and understanding of physics and engineering and machines will see that this is possible. That understanding could derive from school or not. There's nothing terribly complex here. And it is amazing and admirable.

A friend of ours has a small stream of about 300cm wide running through his property, so he set up a water turbine, just placed in the stream to generate power, but the clever part was, he set up three in a row, the the water passing through the first also powers the second, and the third. Three times the energy from the same water. With other ingenious inovations he has free power too

What an outstandingly ingenious installation you've created, and the additional benefit of your system is that it doesn't generate electricity bills which you'd get with the on grid system! Your meticulous installation is so well made that it only requires an annual inspection, that in itself is particularly impressive. Thank you for sharing your excellent work, it's a joy to see this in action.

[@fredflintstone1547]

so this was about the coolest video I've seen on KZbin. What you've done here is a lost art and incredible resourceful and successfully self-reliant. I understand the idea but to see it all there in action doing its thing is pretty remarkable. I noticed your genius when I saw the powerdrill that had been mounted into a brace that was connected to something else that was spinning and connected to something else that was connected to something... The overgrowth surrounding this generator really adds to the initial mystique that I felt when first laying eyes on this miraculous contraption.... it was all connected and working as one like a living mad science experiment. your resourcefulness and engineering skills are very impressive. what your out there doing is real freedom and real life. its obvious that not everyone can or should do what you do. I guess you dont have many neighbors. Nobody ever bothers or dismantles you generator or intake lines.... Did you bury a 4" intake pipe in that creekbed? That sounds like a ton of work. Here In California in the US of A people would get a major-large bug up their ass about something as simple as your little humble generator. Back in the 1970's Americans could do this kind of stuff but not so much anymore unless ya live off da grid.............. In America all levels of government would swing their mallett at the person who dared to be independent of government treason and control by this simple act. I've been thinking more and more about leaving California soon and even the idea of an off the grid lifestyle. I dont really have the knowledge, tools or skills for all that. I could join a commune or a cult... I appreciate that you took the time to show us the earlier attempts at harnessing that creek for power. those represent successes, and the accumulation of knowledge and experience. I love to tinker and fix things when I can
