This turbine can harvest green energy slow moving water

[@banjo3751]

I find it interesting that the companies KZbin videos and this one focuses more on superficial information and leaves out information such as generated power to water flow, minimum to maximum water flow ranges and possible damage in high water flow. Sounds like another snake oil.

[@waderivers99]

Windmills are the snake oil. They are dinosaurs headed for extinction.

[@danielroe845]

I think this could actually have some useful applications. For instance behind the weed screen on an inland drainage pump system to recover some of the power lost while pumping.

[@boryskrupa5102]

The advantage of the solution is using slow moving waters. The torque is huge but rpms are low, so using a proper transmission will easily power a regular generator. Without a proper trasmission no generator will give any real power.

[@peterbetts8740]

No it isn't. If you try to extract any 'torque' from that, the water will simply ride over the top of it and you'll get nothing Even worse, it's upsetting the natural flow of the water. Don't worry, Ma Nature never gets mad, she just gets even - and will flush that thing away like it was the piece of contrived nothingness that it actually is. Some fishes further downstream may find a use for it

[@mikearchibald744]

@@peterbetts8740 whether it works is one thing, but I don't really see how its upsetting the flow of the river.

[@waderivers99]

​@@mikearchibald744It's not. I live on a river and I can immediately spot someone who knows nothing about it. First of rivers flood, huge amounts of debris are washed into the water. I have dead trees floating down my river the size of 18 wheelers. Water turbines are the future because water is 700 times more dense than air. That means power.

[@pnjhd246]

But how much energy can it generate?

waterotor.com/products/#specsheet

[@LoggyWD]

2mph=1m/s, assuming sweep area of 1m^2, for 1000kg/s it can generate 500W at 100% efficiency, which is impossible. Turbines efficiency is about 7%, but that is large hydroelectric stations, small turbines likes this give maximum 4% if we are being generous. That leaves about 20W. Plus mechanical to electrical loss, transformer losses, you would be lucky to get 10W out of it.

Water turbines have relatively high investment costs and high kWh costs! *Due to the module price expiry , on the other hand, you can reliably generate electricity with solar moduls for 25 years at approx. 3-10 cent/kWh!*

Because it makes it dangerous to marine life and theres no point in making it high RPM when you can capture the same amount of energy from a higher torque, lower speed system with larger paddles but there are some major differences hydro-dynamically to a water wheel and a turbine to my understanding a turbine has less drag'

Information of Tech Insider is not correct. Not every river but river of depth not less than 112 cm or 1,5 x height of rotor. Additionally price for 1 KW is for price of 4 kWp Pv. Risky bussines. In winter neither sun nor water works perfectly, so there are no profits in implementation of such a rotor.
