Testing The 3D Printed "Tow Turbine"

[@rikkiesix]

Great setup. Nicely printed

Thank you!

I watched a few of your videos related to hydro power. I recommend you get a couple of inexpensive multimeters. Use one to measure voltage and the other to measure current (will need some sort of load). That tester you are using isn't telling you anything because it needs some minimum power to run itself. I know you understand that. Multimeters don't have that problem though. You could mount them to a board with some standard load testing setup. Maybe a switchable / adjustable load like some power resistors. Not sure... how do you test the power or a generator?

Thank you for this comment! It's a great idea I'll set this up so we can at least get a reading when voltage is low

[@cfavreau]

@@Beyond_The_Tint I forgot to thank you for putting together all these videos. I imagine it's a ton of work. It is much appreciated.

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

It's my pleasure, It's nice to see people enjoying them

[@ProphetofmtnDEW]

Really cool design dude, just wanted to add the prop might perform better with a little more weight so it can stay under the surface easier, seemed like it was bobbing up on ya a bit. But all in all awesome test, looking forward to binging your other videos lmao

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

This is a great idea! I'm going to do this and thanks 😊 it really helps

You can check out some sailboat tow generators, they can generate a lot.

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

Ill have to check some out thanks!

[@PopcornPapiii]

I am honestly surprised a voltage and amperage reading was not obtainable with the generator setup you had in this video, seems like it was getting a decent amount of rotation...

[@PopcornPapiii]

Looking forward for more of your projects dude, keep up the good work.

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

I agree but this motor has a low torque input but needs high RPMs, I think a gearbox will solve this issue as there is more than enough torque.

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[@UKsystems]

@@Beyond_The_Tint I personally suggest using a step motor then rectifying each of the two phases and connecting them rogeather easy for a high voltage

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

@@UKsystems do you have a specific motor in mind I'd love to try this

[@vincentfernandez3256]

What kind of motor is that?

[@Beyond_The_Tint]

12v/24v brushed DC motor. 250w they are also called escooter motors
