This free and open source turbine can be built for half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power (5kWh with 3m drop and 35 l/s flow) per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and simple hand tools.

I have followed your channel for some time and I know that this is the result of many years of work, with a lot of challenges along the way to put it mildly! To open source the design with such a professional video is staggeringly impressive. This is precisely the attitude that will save this world from going down the pan for good. Respect and thanks to you! 👍🙏💚
Thanks!
😮
Exactly.
Possibly the best use of 3D for an elearning I have ever seen.
Thanks, glad it turned out useful.
It was the ending which made everything awesome
I thought this was computerphile
Well, it's been much requested and a long time coming, but the full step by step build tutorial for the siphon hydro turbine is finally finished. I hope you find it useful, and if so please share it to any groups, forums, FB pages, subreddits, email lists etc that you think may find it interesting.
I don't get a lot of views from the algorithm, so it's going to mostly come down to community reach and word of mouth to get this in front of those it'd hopefully benefit.

And thanks to all of you for the sustained impatience in this finally getting done, it's been great to see how many people are keen to start making and using this technology.
Any questions email me, or post them here and I'll make sure to be of help as I'm able.
Cheers all.

Hi Daniel, thank you for sharing your ideas view this medium. I hope to build a replica of your water turbine and share it with you. Please provide me your email so I can contact you, thank you and God bless you all the way from Papua New Guinea!
@@kolishedward4006 Glad to hear it. opensourcelowtech.org (at) gmail .com
Thank you brother, many good ideas here I can’t wait to make mine for our moulin 🤙
Thank you for your content. Outstanding.
@@OpenSourceLowTech is it possible to get a materials list? This video really only gives an idea of what's possible, otherwise.
Great idea tho.
Thank you for sharing! We need this kind of togetherness on the planet
Awesome video. I've seen the earlier iterations and really like all the small but genius improvements on the design.
Thank you for this video. It is so clear and easy to follow. It was a joy to watch. I wish all construction videos were made like this, a joy to watch.
Fully agree!
Phenomenal engineering and animation skills! Kudos!
Thanks
@@OpenSourceLowTech Assuming i have a potent enough stream, if I need more power output, can I put say 3 or more of these in the same stream and get a consistent output of 1.5kw
While the chances of me having somewhere to make use of a turbine approach zero I can see how incredibly valuable this video is, very smart placing the electrical part out of the water via a fan and shaft enabling it to be built with cheap easily found parts. Excellent video, anyone can quickly grasp what is involved, great choice in background music as well :)
Well it's not smart, it's just common sense, but I get your message
@@rentisme Smart ideas are usually percieved as common sense after the first person actualises it into the real world. If it was common sense then plenty of others would have done it already instead of trying to make an electrical component water tight and put it underwater :)
Wow, this is incredible...not just the concept but how everything is put together. 👏👏👏
All instructional videos should be shown this way ,
This really is something valuable, thanks and for sharing the tutorial, and congratulations for the work and effort, it will help a lot of people.
I was more impressed with the animations. Very clever, got me to watch the whole vid.
Congrats to the person who made this video. Very cool instructions. Good stuff!
Very cool! I’ve been interested in the project’s progress since finding you a couple/few years ago. This is super helpful.
Glad to hear it.
Thank you so much from France !!
You are a very good person to do this
What a nice video, incredible approach for step by step explanation, keep up the good job!)

Any questions let me know.
That was brilliant and beautiful to watch!!
Great video. I’m looking forward to trying to build this!
Great detailed instructions! Enjoy your videos immensely!
Thanks.
I waited for it, and it's better that I was expecting for. Thank you so much !!
Glad you liked it, cheers.
Very well done. Great animation. Thank You.
Phenomenal, need more ppl like you... All the best.
A high quality, well-made video 👏
Wow this is easy to follow along. Thanks again for doing this.
My dog loved this.
Hi, that was fantastic animation mate! nice one! take care and have a great day!
wonderful work as usual
Fantastic music, great graphics…thanks for putting this together…you’re getting a subscription from me!
I have been waiting for this video for quite some time..THANK YOU!!!
Thanks
Excellent video. Thanks so much for your good work.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge ! :)
Great job Daniel 👍👍👍
This is mesmerizing to watch 😮
this is an awesome Video! Everything shown super clear and without the need of reading. Wich is good for a world wide usage.
Cheers
That animation was awesome! Thanks
Amazing work.
Well done sir. Love it.
Sweet plans! Thanks!
Well done! Keep it up!
I have also used plastic cutting boards for years for various other purposes, the opening shot showing one being hole sawed up cracked me up!
Wow, those animations are sooooooo good.
Thanks
I've subbed this channel for a long time and am always impressed. You've outdone yourself his time. 👍
Good to hear, thanks.
Thankyou! In Asia trying to come up with micro hydro ideas for IDPS and refugees and medical clinics. solar does not work well in rainy season. Not sure I can replicate this but the success is encouraging.
Sounds good, what concerns do you have about the building process?
Brilliant ! one for the algorithm.
Impressive animation.
Thanks
Very good video and a lot of work!
Thank you!
Thanks!
A lot of thanks, well done m8!
I am just shocked by the detail of that animation, well done
I like how he must've made several iterations of this design and thought 'no, I can make it cheaper'
This one I sort of chanced into more or less the current configuration from the start, but usually these things are iterated as you say, yes.
Thank you. Very nicely done.
Thanks.
Nice video, thanks for sharing it :)
Lovely Build, Beautiful Video... very professioanl. Thank you
Brilliant concept. Beautiful animation.
Thanks.
Yeah man , thank you so much ! I'have made one and it's work . I Will try to put three of them along the pipe. Good Luck to you
Details, data, and video?
Ok i contact you by mail
Nicely done!
Cheers Geert, fair bit of you guys' help in this.
Very well done.Thank you for your hard work.
Stunning Video!
Thank you for your amazing video here. Really incredible graphics and easily understandable for a lay person like myself
Thanks
What a wonderful video
Hi Daniel. Thank you soooo much for sharing this tutorial. I am a woman in Ireland rural living and am going to try this as i have a small river on my land. Hopefully it will be a success. Can you show me how to connect this up to store and use electricity for my mobile home if poss. I think you are awesome helping people to source their own electricity and everything else you do around the world. We need more people in the world like you ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Glad to hear it. The electrical side of things will depend on your specifics, but if you're on FB post here about it and we'll help out as best we can:

Great animation.
Great Video!
Thanks, was a bit of work but happy with how it turned out.
Thank you for the video
sounds terrific ^^
Pretty chill music
Awesome. Congrats, you'we done great work! I think this could also be used as a jet unit for a boat or ski jet. It just needs a reduction in the output to increase pressure.
awesome idea! a slight decrease in pipe size and a cone on the fan would slightly improve performance, and adding another prop should add more torque, but may reduce overall speed, these are the projects that change the world, little by little.. great stuff..
Being a momentum turbine generally the bigger the pipes the better because more flow, but there is a constriction point across the impeller which does up the revs and therefor voltage, while hopefully not reducing the overall flow to much and therefor torque and amps.
One of the main things I'll be testing with the 3D printed impellers is kind of reversing the current situation of that constriction coming in to meet the smaller impeller, so that instead the hub of the impeller is larger and the blades (whichever shape turns out to be most efficient) are at a larger radius to meet the pipe wall. That should hopefully mean more torque from the runner with no reduction of flow.
But we'll see what happens in reality.
Two spaced impellers on the one shaft is also an option and may well increase overall power, yeah.
@@OpenSourceLowTech if you want two impellers then you will need a static blade that turns the water the other way in between the two spinning impellers. That is how a jet engine works. Otherwise you get no additional power.

Yeah, I'll also be experimenting with stators, vectorisers, and the like.
Great video
The best video ever!
This is crazy awesome 😂
awesome video. such graphics my god
brilliant! ❤🎉
Thank you.
Nice video!
Cheers!
Amazing ❤❤❤
this is an awesome concept. I will attempt and probably fail at making it.
Any questions let me know.
The animation is at least as impressive as the design and build! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
omg finally done
Awesome animation👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks
Sweet !
Beautiful animation. You're easily good enough to be doing that professionally FYI
Thanks
very nice!!! yes but I would at moment 1.31 turn around these bolds around as they might get lost inside the tube
Facing out is also an option, yes.
Exellent graphics
Thanks.
Superbe graphics!
So Excited for this! Do we / can we create a community map of places where it may be suitable to install this?
Obrigado
nice
I'm very interested in seeing results of setting something like this up maybe beefier in conjuction with a mechanical, ram pump. And wired up in series🤔 4:37. For a homestead. That's supplied off the rampump, through a Charcoal & sand filter...
Hello Daniel amazing vidéo it gives a very good understanding. I’m considering this year adapting something like this at the back of my boat to generate power from the sailing speed. My question is how do you plug this onto batteries, any charger contoler, fuse, to make sure you don’t overcharge in case of high speed ? Thanks again for all the work and the sharing.
I wonder if you could adapt. A solar charger system for this? They are designed to optimize battery charging over a range of input voltages, and can be bought for small 12 V or 24 V systems?
Also, there are some Inexpensive "buck-boost" converters available, that allow you to set an output voltage, and will automatically convert a wide range of input voltages to your selected output voltage...
Well-Done
Thanks.
Highly underrated work
Grazie.
Two things I noticed while watching this video: 1, the majority of this project can be 3D printed which is amazing. 2, this is basically wave runner jet drive, but obviously in generator format.
I'll be parallel testing a half dozen 3D printable runner options when I get the chance, some are pretty exotic, some are basically just propellers not unlike jetskis.
Это очень круто !!!
и доступно !!!
Great, to use it on a yacht to recharge the batteries and thus use an electric motor instead of diesel, ENERGY FOREVER :D
Daniel, thank you for the link, looks great and pretty straight forward to build. I have a fast flowing stream that I could use, so I should be able to generate good power.
At 35 l/s flow does it generate 5kwh per day or hour?
Also do you have a recommendation for an inverter that can be used.
How meters drop over how much horizontal?
I've been using wheels from hoverboards / balance boards / eScooters / Segways and they're more or less ideal.
Motorbike alternators are probably the best option for lower resource environments but I've not tried it directly yet other than the very first prototype in Guatemala, but that was a very different configuration.
Question: adding a Second, or Additional Impellers / Fans, to capture more Energy, has that been considered?
I would like to bulid this one. Just curious to know - here only one alternator has been used. Can we put additional alternators making some changes? And also the alternator and turbine specifications are not mentioned.
