Unleashing the Power of Water: Micro Hydro Generator for Clean Energy Generator

[ThePrime]

some engineers will call it a water meter

Paloma tankless water heaters used this technology to fire them up when you called for hot water. Simple tech that worked AWESOMELY for years!

Stand under the shower for 10 hours and your phone will be half charged

Leaking at the pipe. Potential energy would be due to water stored higher up, so gravity would be giving it the potential energy. I think if the water is flowing you should refer to it as kinetic energy.

Costs just $39.95, and pays for itself in as little as 30 Years.

Ever since I installed one on my neighbor's spigot, my power bill has never been lower

A friend of mine built a water wheel next to his house and it powes his whole house, the city tried to stop him but they failed. He has free electricity all day long.

The kinetic energy of the moving water.

It works just like a miniature hydroelectric plant.

In Randal Monroe’s book What If?, he answers a question where someone asked how much energy could be generated by doing this. And the answer: not much. probably about 25 cents worth of energy a month if you ran your tap 24/7 and you have good water pressure. So you wouldn’t be able to pay off the cost of the water you used.

The water being pumped in your house through that pipe is done by motors which run on fuel.

My mate put one of these in his stationary engine water pump display and put some l.e.d lights on it. They put out 5v or so.

Installed in our Downspouts during rainfall

I suppose if you set a larger one to your main water input then you could at least charge something in a week. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

[yavuzcileli]

Absolutely beautiful idea congratulations son good luck to you ❤

[kevinlass]

Put that on every pipe and charge your own batteries.

[richardfinney]

You would be better off hooking up one of these to a ginny pigs wheel it would be more of a energy saver

Thank our oil& power co.for keeping us 75years behind with solar, hydro,and cooking the climate

Nice! I installed at my neighbour's water tap and I got free energy and water since last week. 👍👍👍

По такому принципу работают все гидроэлектро станции.
