  • Earlier this year, Turbulent took on its first installation on the French territory, a 5 kW vortex turbine powered by the outflow of Suez’s water treatment plant in Versailles.
    In this video, you will get to see the actual site, along with the running turbine, and an animation detailing the process that went into building this project. Green, reliable and renewable energy for decades!

    We need a lot more micro hydro everywhere, could have a real impact. Solar is 4 to 6 hours a day, wind is sporadic in most locations, a good source of water goes 24/7. A 5kw system running 24 hours a day produces a 120 kw a day. The average american home uses 30 kw a day, that's 4 American homes, and Turbulent's usual minimum install is 15 kw, that's 360 kw a day, that's 12 homes. I figure a 15 kw install at about $75,000 divided by 12 homes is $6,250 per household. That's way cheaper than solar or wind... Throw in a several thousand dollar rebate from the state and federal government for alternative energy and you would have the system paid off in several years and be saving a lot of money......

If you have the money to invest and the head weight, hight, flow etc it is very possible. Countries that have perfect terrain for this are Newzealand, Philippines, Brazil, PNG, Ireland and Scotland and alot of England. All of whom have rural communities that run on these sorts of turbines.

Cooking and water heating is done by gas butane tanks that replenished every 3months and the country is abundant of the resource. Also NZ power consumption is 75% green and eco friendly.

    I'm all for renewable energy but this seems inefficient. The amount of height lost by water falling from the turbine output into the river below and falling from the pipe up top into the reservoir compartment. Looks like you could have got twice the head and therefore twice the power output.

    • @TurbulentHydro
      @TurbulentHydro  3 роки тому +18

      That's correct and we agree that there's head lost that way. What we had to take into account was that the outflow had to be free outflow for the WWTP because otherwise we would impact their outflow sensors. We also were not allowed to install outside of the box because otherwise we would have installed it lower into the river to also recuperate that energy. Permits are complex in France

    In the United States, that installation would have taken 3 years of "environmental and impact studies", at least 1 year to build, at least 8 months to repair, at least 6 months to resolve contractor and government lawsuits, and cost $3 billion US dollars. Somehow it would have broken down after 4 months in operation costing $30 million US dollars to repair. Then they would have had to remove the generator and the site would have never generated electricity ever again. That's current day USA.

In UK they had to build special power plants of extreme dimensions to accomodate the tea time power spikes and you are talking about day-long medium consumes? Apart from all af this a 5 kW turbine like that produces about 120 kWh of energy a day which is about 30 to 40 €. A setup like that might cost 10 k€ to build which leads to at least 250 days to repay. A water treatment plant like the one in the video consumes between 150 to 500 kW which leads to, lets say, 5000 kWh a day or up to 1450 €. The result is a useless and worthless installation.
      A turbine like that could charge a big battery pack to supply the number of homes they say but the battery would cost tens of thousands of Euros. It is a vicious circle that leads to nothing useful neither for us nor for the environment.

      @@PhotonHerald Yes my love. That's the energy you use in a determined time stamp but the actual thing that produces work is POWER which is measured in Watt. To do the laundry or run the dishwasher (or oven or whatever) you need a total available power at least equal to the maximum consumption of that appliance. If you have 10 houses it is legit to say that at least every dishwasher and washing machine is run once a day. This means at least 20 hours a day are occupied with a 2 kW peak load. If every house does not communicate with the other then there might be an overload on the turbine which is not capable of delivering more than 5 kW if more than 2 high consumption appliances is run at the same time. Remember that apart from DW ad WM you have ovens, vacuums, electric stoves, boilers, hairdryers and so on which are not communicating between each other to accomodate the 5 kW allowance. You can't supply 10 modern day homes with 5 kW, it's impossible.

    I have, in my 25 square meters, enough appliances to draw 3.6kW ish. So 10 houses 24/7 is BS.
    A washing machine easily draws over 1-2kW. Then other kitchen appliances like a fridge, coffeemachine, microwave. stove, oven, or whatever else you could think of easily draws up to 1kW. Lighting is negligible since the dawn of the LED so good on you for that. But with this a single household already draws over half of the system. Not to mention my PC which can, at max, draw 750 Watts (which it rarely reaches but that's not the point). So my household is already almost too much for a single one of these to handle. I would need additional help from other sources like solar or wind.
    Other than this, it looks like a very good idea. Easily applicable all over the world with slight modifications to the landscape. It just needs to bee a little more powerful. Nuclear already achieves Gigawatts of power with ease, Kilowatts mean nothing compared to that. But as additional production or as backup it could be so lucrative. There is so much you could do with this. So by all means don't let me discourage you. If anything let it light a fire under your asses and improve what you already have. I am very optimistic.

    • @VictorY-mu6zp
      @VictorY-mu6zp 2 роки тому +2

      Yes, but not all of these are on all the time right? If you have a normal grid connected house, the average power draw is 0.5kW. That means 12kWh per day. You can have heavier devices such as induction stoves, washing machines etc draw more power, but this is a peak and gets averaged over the whole day. Of course if you wanted to do this off grid, you need an additional battery pack to take care of the peaks. Always remember the difference between peak power and average power. Try keeping your washing machine on 24/7 for a week and notice how hot your room will get. Also notice how your washing machine is now probably broken.
