Waterwheel Returns

[@nickphelan6159]

In an earlier video you complained about your lack of motivation.. now I see you out in the cold rain playing with water. I'm glad you are as motivated as you are, thank you for making these videos.

[@gibbyrockerhunter]

Oh boy, working with water just above freezing temps is my favorite. Lol Great work senior. I love seeing individual’s build and design techniques. And yours are awesome!

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

I like his "eyeball" method of set up.

[@Pawel663346]

Oh man I never said "oh ffs" this many times in that short period of time. To lazy to use measuring tape or any measuring tool, but hard-working - especially with the cement blocks. Dammm

[@daivonclark5151]

[@radhakrishna34]

Nice way to spend spare time. Great project...👍👍👍

[@MattJoyce01]

Good to see this again, the previous waterwheel is when I started watching.

[@TheAnandcv]

It's really wonderful. Your efforts towards success is highly appreciated.

[@HorochovPL]

That slow-mo was very useful - wouldn't thought about water being carried on a wrong side of the paddle when it meets the wheel, especially with no load!

[@mickgatz214]

Yeah, I thiought the same. Maybe he should reduce the diameter of pipe over distance to gain more pressure?...

[@crabbyyup8560]

I like how you winged it and stuck with it to make it work great job bro props

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

I know I'm a geek when I watch slow mo of a water wheel and feel "ahhh".

[@cme1027]

I'm right there with you🥴

[@steyio7305]

Same dude same 😂

[@Benny-dv7xm]

Good slow motion to see how the water pushes or katches the blades.

[@rondavison8475]

Tinker'r extraordinar! nice morning watch. seal the buckets up, looks like significant water leaks at base drum.

[@karimunhobbyrc363]

If I was there, I would definitely help to move things. keep the spirit friends and keep working

[@stevendegonia]

May I make a suggestion? Maybe heat the end of the pvc pipe, about a foot in length, and squash it to widen it to spread the flow across the paddle of the wheel to eliminate the splash back as the water enters the scoop?

[@stevendegonia]

I'm just a bit concerned about ice build up on the chain from the splashing is why i suggest to widen the pipe a bit, not squash it totally flat! LOL

[@JoeMalovich]

I'm switching to a timing belt of sorts, and I'll guard it if ice is an issue.

[@tyrzxv]

I wouldn't flatten the pipe (a flattened pipe actually carries less volume), as much as just make a Louvre or fender to force the water DOWN and into the paddles (sorta like the orange thing in very beginning of vid, but upside down and curved down). Then I would move the wheel center just slightly behind the end of the pipe (so the pipe overhangs the wheel center). This will ensure that gravity AND the lateral speed of the water have maximum effect on the edge of the wheel, and the Louvre/fender should allow any high flow (from rain, snow melt, etc) without restricting flow or wasting the extra lateral motion of extra volume of water shooting past the wheel. Overhanging the pipe past the wheel center will ensure that the wheel still gets the most power during low water flow, where gravity will do more work than the speed of the water.

[@beerye3750]

[@InsaneAction]

Yay! The waterwheel was my favorite! Super excited to see it return.

[@robsongoncalves7175]

Congratulations Joe! greetings from Brazil

[@OrudoVansan]

@9:48 Flow dynamics. Your wheel is being turned by the speed/force of the water as it discharges from the pipe onto the blades of your wheel. If you were to spread/distribute the water evenly across the width of your blades, it would be the weight of the the water inside each blade that turns the wheel. Just a thought.

[@ericfermin8347]

Yep

[@utubeape]

yes, or make little cups instead of the pipe fins

[@mintysurfer14]

That would improve the speed you think?

[@YHWHELOHIYM]

Thanks for doing this, enjoyable, thought provoking.

[@markdelapeyre2666]

Loved the video, my freind has a stream going throught his property and i am going to have a project this summer, only changes i will make is to generate AC at the source to reduce transmission losses and problems with water and electronics, and then rectify it 50 meters away in his dry shed, ill use a PLC to monitor and to charge controll the battery banks. but its lovelly to see that free energy beeing used all over the world. Using our intelegence to tap into it. I notice you have a elevated watersource, you could dam it and use preassure in a turbine or water wheel as well. Although i like the esthetics of a wooden water wheel more. Good luck with all you do.

[@FlyingFun.]

Love the old water wheels, fascinating somehow watching them do their thing. Wish I had a stream near me to play with. Might have to put that on the list for the next house move lol

[@nicholashenderson6941]

I know its been 7 months but if you have the property, and slightly hilly land you could always make yourself a nice sized pond that creates a small stream

[@HBPowerwall]

Excelent!

[@JoeMalovich]

Thanks! It's not quite as "hot" as your content though.

[@kapegede]

After such a long time your waterwheel is back to business! This once was the reason to subscribe to your channel. Nice to see it working again.

[@Belioyt]

Yes, the waterwheel was the reason I also subscribed. What a time to be alive, such content is free for us to consume on demand.

[@chrisbray4322]

Hello from UK . You would get more power if the water fell into the wheel and not pushed it ! Make Pelton Turbine that will give you serious power.

[@Suavache]

Electricity and water are natural energy sources. If we know how to exploit and manage them in a reasonable and sustainable way, it will be wonderful.

[@terrymcnee3568]

Glad to see that the chooks are supervising the project

[@Дарханнахрад-п3и]

Отлично 👍. В кончику трубу отвод надо на 45%. На генератору побольше звездочку нужен. Слищком тежело крутится.

[@vitrev2514]

i like this video because it shows how something is done in real life meaning with faults and trying to fix it alone without any help and only due to learning by doing.

[@zackzimmer7167]

Trial and error is one of the best ways to learn IMO.

[@justinbeathe552]

Love it. Keep on keeping on. Love how you leave the real lifeness of it in there.

[@FedericoAllegretti]

I suspect you are loosing some watts with water falling too backward in the turbine. try mooving the mill just a bit forward :-)

Thank you 😆 from Singapore Toa Payoh Town 👍

[@diabsiniman]

Yay, the waterwheel is back (and darn my computer for having an issue with KZbin so I missed the release of the video) looking forward to seeing both the wheel and the turbine making you power, soon you should be able to supply your neighbors energy needs too (lol)

[@imchris1978]

Find an old balance/hoverboard and use one of the wheels as they make good brushless generators usually can pick them up for free or really cheap as the batteries die because balance charge board gives up sometimes the cells are still good good to see you back at it

[@RS-lr1bm]

You could also use a reworked fisher & paykal washing machine smart drive motor. That can generate a bunch of power.

[@jesilva4980]

Q povo nada,o povo ja foi as ruas varias veses e dia 7 a maior e o presidente nao agiu foi fala com o inimigo ai fica dificel pra nos

[@rimrock53]

I think you can get more power out of your water head if you extend your pipe slightly over the wheel so that the water falls a few inches before contacting the wheel. You might try an adjustable length slip pipe that you can tune the point that the water exits the pipe.

[@waynespyker5731]

Yes, move water contact to wheel center or past. Load the buckets across the wheel's width by tee and short nipples vented across their bottom. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5TXioiklrelbrs RPM shown is 12-15 using 40% of a 4 inch supply, cold start requires 2 buckets to load (about 75 gallon).

[@MarkRose1337]

If you make a really big wheel, balancing it will be fun. But even more fun would be painting a spiral on the side to entrance anyone who looks at it :D

[@nickkitchener6155]

You can use the bases from 2 of those rotating office chairs on wheels. They have 5 arms and a nice bearing housing perfectly in the center. You can then run your axle through the centers of the bases. Because the arms are all the same exact length, you can connect them to the two outer wheel forms quite precisely and it results in a well balanced wheel.

[@MarkRose1337]

@@nickkitchener6155 That's a good idea. But my concern is the weight balance: even if the wheel is perfected centered, the weight may not be due to material factors like varying density in the wood. It needs to be fairly evenly balanced to not have a variation in speed as the wheel rotates; a variation in speed would produce a large-scale ripple in the voltage that may confuse an MPPT charge controller.

[@gravelydon7072]

@@MarkRose1337 Simply add a capacitor of a decent rating and it should solve that.

The the world economy continues to deteriorate, we are going to see more and more of this. People making power from what's a hand, living in trucks, cars and sheds. Great to be ahead of the game. You never know what the weather or other factors will bring.

[@IrishAndy001]

I really like this idea how would i get it to power up a battery.

Amazing !

[@A1DJPaul]

I Think the Water is hitting the wheel at the wrong point. THE Wheel is Naturally Trying to Reverse. Move the wheel back to have the flow hitting the wheel at the 11:00 o'clock point ? Or at least Just over & beyond the upper center point of the wheel. The water looks to be pushing the wheel UP HILL here. The water must push the wheel in a Downwards motion. = Extend the blue pipe by 4 to 6 inches ? To Gain more speed & power from the flow. You could also Test / Trial this idea, Make the end of the pipe graduate to a smaller outlet hole to increase the water pressure. ( but this may also Decrease the flow slightly ? ) I like your Set up. Hence i offer advice & ideas to try.

[@mohamedsmaili6099]

verry good work

[@cattigereyes1]

So many questions so few explanations. Is the water source a spring? Home irrigation system? Constant flow? Limited to rain cycles? Wood rot worries? Could one use gears for a solar powered water pump from a farm pound to power a water wheel that produces more than the pump could consume and the gear it for upscaled power generation?

[@canaljosepereira]

Obrigado por compartilhar ideias boas pra nós ajudar

[@fahrbierde]

I am happy the wheel is back!

[@truethought369]

Love your waterwheel, but why do you not move the water flow away from where you are working? Then you can make a firm base for your wheel. Also a level would be really useful, to keep a fall on the blue feed pipe. Well done though, I recon you will have a good result!

enjoyed the video, only thing i was hoping to see was a amp/volt of what it was generating. keep it up.

[@gordoncouger9648]

A would have been helpful. I'm surprised how much power you got from so little water and so short a fall. I forget how heavy it is.

[@johnslugger]

I like your wheel but you really should be using a non brushed PMA for you generator. You would probably get 30% higher power and endless dependability.
