Best Design ever! Lowest impact on natur and no tread to fish or other waterliving animals because you only use the flow of the surface water! Congratulations and respect!
@@awokenv7302 The most it has produced is 2KW so over a day it was 24KWh. At higher outputs I am having trouble with belt slippage when they are wet. I am considering adding an idler pulley near the generator to get more contact on the generator pulley where it slips. This is a work in progress!
They make pumps that will supply grease on demand. Many heavy equipment operators have them on their equipment and you can get them where each time a contacter (A piece that sticks out) comes around it pushes a lever that pumps the grease to from one to as many as 10 grease points. They also have electric ones but you would need a timer for them.
Thanks! However I switched to Lignum Vitae wood bearings which are essentially maintenance free. I am aware of the auto greasers too, which would be a good recommendation if I kept the original roller bearings.
Interesting... At 1:19 it looked like you were going to get more rotational speed (aka power) when the bottom paddles of the wheel were only partly in the water and then as you continued to lower it the rotational speed slowed. Might want to keep the wheel shallow to increase efficiency.
Parabéns pelo projeto!!! Porem percebi uma pequena falha... Você esta perdendo muita força de tração da água pelo fato Das canecas da roda serem vazadas com isso permitindo o fluxo (Vazão) quase livre por elas!..

This looks fantastic; Can someone tell me how much Electrical Energy will I be able to Harness if I invest in a good generator? I was wondering if I could use this around a stream to power a micro-brewing facility
Tend to agree with you on that one. Also seems to be running little too deep slowing down the wheel . Great design however but a little bit wider paddles would give more torque as well.
@@pieterbezuidenhout2741 yes I believe blades should be longer and not too deep in the water like this one . Making a small replica and test it in the water is the best way to find the best design .
Can you please post a video with a load connected (say a power drill, saw, some bulbs, battery charger...) and some measuring equipment attached, like a clamp-on ammeter or alike. One thing I don't understand is (in some other videos) you say you get 400w-1600w. Yet you are charging the battery that powers the hydraulics with a solar charger. Why? Also quite sure the only thing that matters in power calculations is the area of a paddle submerged in water, head-on, like a drag coefficient basically. So how do your curved paddles compare to straight ones?
The generator produces "wild" 3 phase power, up to 600V. At my residence I rectify to DC, then to single phase 240VAC where it feeds the grid or my house. The hydraulic pump is 12VDC fed from the solar charged battery. You are correct that the blade area is the most important thing. The curved blades add more area. There is potential gains as well with decreasing radius blades as you can note that the water pours through the middle of the wheel which is inefficient. I may close that area off as an experiment.
I'm quite curious about real power both kW/hr and peak W. It sounds like you need a PWM controller like midnite solar, where you could match load to best speed for max power (MPPT). Nice job on the fabrication, looks pro.
Why? River flows are fairly constant, maybe summer-winter difference. And why a controller when he has a generator (3-phase) directly being turned by the wheel?
A good question Predrag, I've done a bunch of work in this field, and what is generally true is that turbines have an ideal speed relative to flow, at which they will collect the most Watts. So ideally you load the turbine very precisely In wind turbines this is generally 7x the speed of the wind, in a turbine like this it's probably closer to .33 or 1/3 the speed of the flow around it. In wind turbines using an MPPT controller often nets 30-40% more kWh's per year. If unloaded this turbine will probably turn close to the flow speed of the river, and if overloaded it might turn at 1/10 the speed of the flow or not at all. The rate it's going to turn is controlled by how much resistance the generator provides. If the generator is rectified, and fed to batteries, then the resistance of the generator will be related to battery voltage, and is unlikely to be the ideal resistance to keep the wheel turning at it's ideal speed. A controller will work via PWM (pulse width modulation), and effectively turn on and off the alternator 1000 times per minute, leaving it on longer or shorter, depending on what you've programmed into it. This would only be needed in situations where you experience variable flow. A pelton wheel for example would not likely need this, though it should have it's alternator matched to it's output, it only should need to be set once. Good quality alts designed for this use have a jacking screw to adjust magnet plates.
I don’t understand something. You are using solar to charge the batteries, which were dead, to run a hydraulic pump to maintenance your water wheel. Does the wheel not charge batteries?
No, the water wheel generator outputs "wild" 3 phase 90-500VAC power (depending on rpm) which feeds the rectifier/ inverter which then exports 240V single phase to the grid. The battery needs 12 volts DC power.
A bigger wheel will NOT get more rpm's...the rpms are based on the velocity of the water divided by the circumference of the wheel, a larger wheel will actually turn fewer rpms.

good idea, like the design, good for the fish, and easy to maintain.. but a lot details look like stupid russian engineering. please show progress, and more data..
your design is great, but I have produced 200kwa in the same design, there are many mistakes in the impeller you have made, first of all, you need to reach the torque to a hundred times and with a very simple method, the flow rate of your location is very convenient, you cannot exceed 4 to 10 kwa with this, but it is not the smallest of success. .

Excellent design, and powering the hydraulics using your tractor - beautiful.
1- It’s the best design I can see in UA-cam.
2- I think the blades don’t have the best form.
3- My sincere congratulations.
The blade design was a bit of a shot in the dark. I now know that they need to be longer and have plans to increase the length by 1 foot.
@@NeringIndustries how much kwh a day does it produce? And if its a low amount , why dont you just use a more powerful alternator ?

The wheel is huge - well designed. I though this was some one foot diameter thingy.
Hi can I use part of your video to my compilation homemade inventions ?
What a beautiful design! Lovely. Respect to the designer.
Cheers from Indonesia
Dont dip the wheel too deep, it makes more turn by placing it a bit low on the surface of the river water
In its current configuration, the wheel likes to be almost up to its axle in water to make the most power. I can see that on the inverter output.
There is a grease made by Schaffers that is 100 percent waterproof it is also rated at 500K lb per square inch, might save you some bearing life.
Parabéns pelo projeto!!!
Porem percebi uma pequena falha...

Running too deep. Lift it up 8-10 inches and it will run faster and smoother without the chop.
I thought this as well
How does s chicken like you know better?...
Refillable automatic greaser. Mount on top of bearing that run off of 9 volt battery. You can set frequency of grease input.
Mr Row what no shit when did thay start making those???
Late 90s I'm guessing. I'm a millwight and we have them on heavy automotive stamping presses and other industrial equipment that run 24/7
use long stainless steel tubing and put the niple at the center/ pivot.. then no need to move the wheel for greasing
Hello, does this electricity work?????
Hi, I would like to build waterwheel like this can you please share documents of this conception and all the design ?
What is the production cost of the whole device and what is the installation power?

The river flows can change quite quickly and often due to rain. The only time it is steady is during the spring/early summer during the freshet.

A thing of beauty👍🏻
good idea, like the design
Best Design ever!
The longer the blades width the more energy.
thats amazing! ingenious design, love it.try and get a bigger wheel on that blade, it will get more rpm's
A bigger wheel will NOT get more rpm's...the rpms are based on the velocity of the water divided by the circumference of the wheel, a larger wheel will actually turn fewer rpms.
A bigger wheel would provide more torque because you have more surface area exposed to the water but not more RPM. Torque is more important anyway.
be careful if there is a flood

Wat about a wind generator????
Qual a potência ? Ficou muito bom !
I need this type of power turbine to run 25 HP motor ??
Where we can buy this ?
This installation will have produced the energy equal to the energy used to build it in 1000 years. That's 1000 years of green energy.
On a dollar basis the return is typical hydro.
