Thanks for metric units in the corner :)
5:54 nice dedication to keeping your phone out the water!
It would be cool to see if you could have a whole bunch of turbines paralleled together..
yes, you can - daisy chain and Y-connectors
The total cost would be prohibitive isn't?
Solar + pwr bank is way more efficient in every aspect.
But Lily look very cool... just not powerfull.
Hey Joe, you should see if you could get the wind power version of this from them as well. Would be interesting to see how well it works.
They are sending me one as soon as production makes them available.
In my opinion it is barely too low to really do anything meaningful with it. You can only leave 1 or 2 LED lamps on it.
If it is still possible to get 2 to 3 amps, then it is certainly a nice thing to have.
For now unfortunately nothing more than an emergency solution for your phone
Yeah for 250$$$.. wtf is wrong with these idiots?
Thank you for giving us the metric values in the corner!! I work as a CNC Lathe operator but to this date, imperial units still confuse me a bit, my machine converts those automatically into metric sooo.... yeah lazy me.
I think it's a great idea if you are going for some remote drives in the wilderness, in the correct space it could come in handy given you find a stream with enough "power". And I can't wait for your lathe test with this, too see how much you can really get from it, and I hope your feet didn't get frost burned :D Greetings from Germany
I also have a Halo jump starter that possibly charge enough to jump start your vehicle in an emergency
Thank you for the metric measurements! :D
Edit: could you make a, idk, a mesh cone to prevent leaf buildup? And (to WaterLily), wouldn't it be better to have the grid on the front (upstream) of the turbine so make leaf cleanup easier and protect the turbine?
Exactly! Or better yet design so that there complete through path (all support in on circumference)
Nice stuff, hope you are not catching a cold.
In theory this may also work nice in a downspout attached to a very large roof. So you could squeeze the last bit of kinetic energy out of your own house and transform it into electricity :D :D
maybe a bit overkill with the plastic supports on the back catching all the leaves
Is there a purpose for them? the turbine is supported around the edge isnt it?
the best part is no part.
@@jaycweingardt11 it's not, there's a gap there. A bearing that big would make it much heavier and more expensive. So they just put them in the center.
what if you could stack the turbines in pvc pipe and affix a funnel type end on it to act as a scoop. parallel them electrically it may be easier to place in a stream and produce a good amount of power
I've wanted to try this, I wonder if there is a minimum size or head for the funnel to be effective.
I would think that the bigger the more water but maybe to much in some instances. make them removable like screw on so they don't fall off
you spun the turbine with a drill did it have a Max output or did it have severe overvoltage
a voltage regulator like on panels should work
also I would think the 12 volt version would be best for charging a car battery or jackery
Can you hook it up to your hose on your water generator that way when you get your hydro power u can get power from this as well.
Yes
Shouldn't the grate be before the blades, to protect the blades from larger debris? That would probably lessen the chance of leaves getting permanently stuck too.
I reached out to this company but no reply. I have 2 large rivers within 10 minutes drive.
Sorry to hear, they reached out to me. I'll be trying to build a "power barge" for testing in larger flows of water not near shore.
But, as seen in the video, you need not bother as the output of such a small turbine is just not effective. There are better designs out there than this, some of which custom made for the location they are used in. Usually, hydro electric energy is either by turning a big wheel slowly (and via gear reduction, turning a smaller wheel somewhere else faster), or by damming in a body of water and using the gravitational energy (head) to make a turbine spin fast (as seen in other videos made by Joe). Just putting this tiny turbine/wheel inside the stream, loose and all, just seems very ineffective compared to those methods.
@Thomas Verschoof While power production is small, it is portable and without the need for damming. It's a niche product with justifiable niche uses.
@@JoeMalovich But charging a car battery is not really among them so I cannot see why there is a 12+ volt version to begin with. I can imagine that one would need to check up on this turbine frequently as its just suspended in the water with a few strings. It might get jammed by a stick easily for example. If you needed (a little bit of) power in a remote location that you are not willing to visit frequently because of being so remote, then in my opinion a small solar panel on a stick would be the better choice. We see those among roads in my country a lot. They require infrequent maintenance.
It would be cool to see if you could have a whole bunch of turbines paralleled together..
I think you should have checked if you have to put chain oil in the chain saw first.
I did.
it looked a little like the level of that stream went up a little as the video went along
It may have been, snow was melting some.
i wounder how will it would produce power if only half of it is under water
Boots, Rubber are what you need. ;-)
Except I forgot them at my house, 2 hours away from my dads house where this video was recorded.
Very cool!
How much is the price for it?
you know what you should do
Hook it up to an exercise bike and just cycle on it :D
Do you think it would be possible to install this to the inlet pipeline of your house? Or encase it so city water runs through it everytime you take a shower?
3.6 watts seems more suited to usb
Well this is not even as high as a standard old iPhone charger (5W). Just to be clear my iPad I’m watching this one would nearly take 10h to charge. And a normal car battery for jump start (12V at 70Ah) even when we only want to get it half full means more than half a week! I have no idea where that cold be any good. Just take yourself a power bank and keep it charged or just a 40W solar panel (would be cheeped as well)
How are the chickens?
Alive and happy, one is broody. We haven't lost a single one *knock on wood*
All of the ducks are still here but coming to a plate near me soon!
Were your boots waterproof?
Not available on amazon anymore
Leave it to the Canadians to use water to make power :D
You understand this is just a tiny portable hydro-electric plant, right?
Dont think canucks invented using water to power shit. Esp since the waterwheel goes back to the late bronze age...
@@sugarnads don't think I said anything about Canadians inventing water power. Canada holds most of the worlds fresh water, only makes sense that they'd have a company making this.
... And then there is turbulent.be ....
а какой прикол заходить в воду в ботинках? сапоги или бродни не одеть?
0:45Man is never satisfied in corrupting nature to his will...
Whole purpose of me watching this video was to find out what chemical to use and got nothing from it. Any idiot knows how to drain and refil
250 BUCKS!!!!! NO. That is pitiful. Make your own for way, way less and put a grate over the inlet so it doesn't clog. Unreal how these morons want to rip people off. Use a drill motor and make your own.. good Lord.

ooh, again, i think im first... lol
A gold star for you!
