Lifetime of Free Power from Water. Part 2 - Using recycled junk to build a water powered generator

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I helped a friend set up a Micro Hydro Power generator in his stream, we used junk lying around his yard to build most of it and a modified washing machine motor as the generator.
He can now run all the appliances in his house for free, no power bill.

    Marty you have destroyed your friend’s life. It starts with powering his house and a hot water heater. Then he starts showering everyday. Next thing you know a lady comes into his life and she wants more power. Then a remodeled kitchen and bath. Next he will have to move his tools somewhere out of the way. Soon it will be drapes and floors for the house and the new addition. Then he will have to clean up his yard and suddenly he will find himself having Sunday dinner at his Mother-in-Law’s and wearing a proper suit of clothes. But the apocalypse of his life is when he adds a Mother-in-Law apartment to the house and the “ole Battle Axe” moves in and of course demands her own washing machine generator. Gone are those great times having a cold beer and sitting on the porch and enjoying the sounds of the forest. The encroachment of civilization will never end.

    In 1980 I built a 17KW twin-jet Pelton turbine with induction generator selling power to the local utility. 180' static head, 1600' of 8" PVC pipe, 2.5cfs max flow. It ran over 20 years until a flood took out the powerhouse. The Pelton wheel hangs on my office wall. Lots of fun, enjoyed your videos!

    If the electronics aren't shot, it ain't junk! If the metal isn't rusted through, it ain't junk! If the plastic isn't brittle or warped, it ain't junk! And can easily be repurposed into thousands of different systems or applications. EDIT: I'm 20 and my main goal is to live off grid on my own property and be self sufficient in terms of water/electricity/ and food productions. This is a 10 year goal and has been a dream since about 14yrs old. Hopefully one day!

    I love this kind of stuff! I was a low voltage specialty electrician for about 20 years, did commercial and industrial HVAC control systems. Did a lot with relay logic, solenoids, sensors etc. When I started out it was mostly pneumatic/low voltage/line voltage systems, when I finally retired it was all digital controllers. This reminds me of the early stages of the digital systems. So much of this was designed on the job. You'd get as wished engineering drawings, and have to come up with ways to make it all work, and then create as built drawings. Kind of miss it.... Thanks for the video, very well done.

Presumably when it was used that was attached to the bit of piping and valve they decided they could not use. I guess that pump was moving water up the hillside to the house for consumption/sanitation? (A hydraulic ram uses an air spring and several check valves to let a large amount of water falling a small distance pump a small amount of water a large distance uphill) It would not have worked to use the energy of the stream to pump water up hill to let it flow back down hill to ...

    I would look into modifying some chest freezers into chest refridgerators to save even more power. Most vertical refridgerators use as much as 800 watts when under load with the compressor, while chest freezers usually only use 80 or so watts. if you modify the temperature sensor to operate at refridgeration temperatures instead of freezer temperatures, you can have a LOT more cold food storage on your current power budget. that would be perfect for a nice additional beer fridge.

    Awesome Marty, helping out your friend to get hydro , like you say recycle and purchase a few things they will pay for themselves in no time flat, biggest part the labour to build it, his fridge proportioning was correct, beer fridge #1, food and freezer #2, beautiful place you guys live in 😎👍👍

    Marty T and company, you guys are awesome! This is what everyone needs to see. A truly DIY and mostly recycled power application which is actually doing its job! I've done a wind generator into an inverter with a battery bank. The unit I bought pretty much had all the extras you added built in. Back in those days ( mid-90 ) you couldn't feed back to the grid and there were quite a few appliances that had issues with the power supply. So I couldn't run my whole home. But my main focus was running the green house heating and lighting. There's a heck of a temperature swing in Minnesota in the dead of winter. But one things for sure there's always wind. I hope you are having the time of your life, cause it looks like the perfect place to be. Thanks for all the info, engineering and chuckles! And for all you guys out there with piles of crap. Get to work on something useful... then the wife will stop complaining about the eye soars you've created. Take it from someone who knows!

    I did something like this over 20 years ago as an experiment but firstly with 3 phase motor which was setup to generate 240 volts directly which was a fail, it had no over load capability and would loose excitation & have a voltage collapse. The 2nd attempt with a permanent magnet alternator from a Tank APU of all things have been running trouble free for 20 years, I haven't even needed to touch the bearings which are still original seeing I made an oil bath bearing housing for it. I can see room for improvement on your system like changing those relays out for solid state relays.

    Great job Marty. After watching your original video from years ago, I made a hydro setup with my boy up where he lived, deep in the bush just north of Dargaville. Was a fun project, but limited skills and money. Got to 380W which was enough for his situation, but after watching these vids I reckon could have definitely got a fair bit more. Anyway that land's been sold and I've moved outa town so now it's all just a cool memory. Learned heaps along the way, so yea, thanks heaps bro. Also had the same problem with the cheap pelton wheel I got off eBay. Replaced it with a powerspout pelton wheel, much better. Chur

    Well done Marty - great project - thanks for sharing. As a kid growing up in 1940s UK we had no electricity, gas, sewage, or mains water and relied on a well, coal and paraffin for cookiing and heating. The radio had to have a low tension battery, a high tension battery and an accumuator. A chap up the road had a Lister generator and we used to get the accumulator re-charged by him. A completely different age. No cars around and most people used the bus to get to near-by towns or cycled. As a result it was a most peaceful place to be - I miss it greatly now. I hope that more people can develop green systems for energy - it is the only way to go..
