In India, there’s a perpetual shortage of electricity; specially in the rural areas. So we assembled a small microhydro turbine from scrap material. contact me on ambaresort@yahoo.co.in for further details ..

@nessnes64 Hell no! XD i don’t want to ruin such a nice work XD
@MaurizioM89 over 100 watts he said
i dare you to stick the wires in your mouth XD
wow nice and simple to build! what is the output of the generator?
Hey thats a nice for a scrap job. wish i had a river in my backyard so i could build one for myself!
Brilliant. Necessity is the mother of invention! Is anything sealed from water intrusion? Hopefully it will last long enough to put together something more durable.
In the Rainy season …why don’t you put this thing on pontoons and let it flote above and yet use the torent running below to generate power , I have seen this in Bosnia when the use wasing machine moters to make power from the River
interesting
I haven’t accomplished anything noteworthy, in my opinion, and it troubles me. I hope to eventually.
Perhaps, like myself, they simply haven’t been exposed to the resources and free time you have. You should spend less time looking down upon your fellow man, and more time edifying them.
This post has something besides insult in it, and is commendable. I hope to have something of note to youtube some day, and videos like this one, and the comments left to it, are knowledge gained.
First of all, the water is not falling straight down on it, it hits it under an angle. This way you waste power.
Second, they use a tube cut in half, another way of wasting energy. This way they use the weight of the water, not the kinetic energy. They should use something shaped more like an angle iron.
Make these changes, and it’ll run twice as fast.
And for the pie hole thing…….
Why don’t you contribute to YouTube by putting some videos on of all the things you have accomplished in life
you don’t have a lot of brains either do you… the whole point of the project is “from scrap” and because they are not to interfere with the existing public waterworks… I would love to hear your solution, rather than just putting down the hard work of others. If you have nothing positive to say, you should shut your pie hole.
You guys dont have a lot of brains do you?
There are better & cheaper ways for doing this, with way more power output then this.
@whotookmynickkokokai i think the spin wheel is a FLYWHEEL….. and heard 1 version may be the “flying toilet”type cluth/flywheel setup….nascar maybe….a turbo version of this waterwheel would be awesome
How many houses are beig powered by this now? Very cool video. One thing what about the rains? Will this be over run with flood waters during the rainy season? Gave ya all a 5 for the video and the effort to get power out there!! At about 5:15 you answered my question the gates are gone, so good thing it is portable hahahah Thanks for the video!!

i was thinking the same thing..and looks like they could stick another one of these on the next step down
I think the radius of the wheel should be bigger to capture most of the the energy. or using spin wheel to keep the inertia.
I like it
very good!! I’ll try this design in my province.
thank you so much..
It’s a Banki or Ossberger type crossflow turbine.
Awesome! Way to take back the power! I’m proud of you guys.
Excellent.
this is great!
Pretty nice
Use an O-ring chain, encapsulated, may even run in an oil-swamp, a fan-belt like that eats 0,5-0,8hp..
Great work mate!
Really good design.
How much power is that 1 turbine generating?
