Rain Gutter POWER #1 - How to Harvest Free Energy From Your Roof with a Hydro Electric Generator!

Ғылым және технология

A lot of people wonder if there's any power in the rain falling on our roofs. This video series starts with the theory of how much power is available then attempts to achieve it in practice. It was a lot of fun to BUILD, hopefully you enjoy it and learn something in the process.
For those in the comments that insist I didn't compensate for the angle of the roof in the rainfall calculation, did I not say "once I calculate the horizontal distance..."?

    Allen Loser hi, evolutionary psychologist with a background in evolutionary anthropology here 👋🏻 you’re referring to sexes. Gender can refer to sex but does not have to. Gender is typically associated with language and ideas. Neutral gender pronouns have been around for as long as we can tell. Gender norms actually are arbitrary and have been for a long time. I’m not sure how social sciences are an impediment to STEM studies. Most of my closest friends are chemical engineers and don’t seem to have a problem with it. The issue is really our education system and it’s inability to make kids want to learn. And yes the bureaucratic red tape and complete undervaluation of teachers plays a big role. [edited for typos]

    I live in the Scottish highlands and in a log cabin with the same kind of roof. I’m 45, a mum of 3 grown children and I used to be a nurse until my back noped and decided it was gonna screw me out of a career. I was ok at chemistry in school but I never considered physics or maths because the teachers were just so apathetic and close to retirement and had no patience for helping us who weren’t especially great at calculations. Had this guy been a teacher at my school, I’d be in a different world! I enjoyed this video very much and I understood everything - I also enjoyed the fact he has a passion for sharing his knowledge. That was like being a student nurse and having a placement where the doctors and surgeons love to show you what they’re doing and make sure you understand.

This is what you can do when you learn math. All of those people who say, 'I don't need to learn math. I'll never use that in my whole life!' can't do the cool things because they never learned the math to do the cool things. No, they won't use math. But that's not because there's something wrong with learning math. It's because no one ever showed them all the cool things they can do with math."

As a kid I remember asking my dad if that was because some teams were in Canada and the answer was no, it was because back in the 70's when the US was switching to metric under Carter, the team got bought and the stadium was completely refurbished/renovated, and all signage at the time had to be in both during a conversion period, and they just never bothered to update the signs after Reagan undid progress.

    @@nicoj.8242 He did take into account the slope of the roof by eliminating from his calculation. He used the horizontal distance from the peak of the roof to the gutter. This is a straight distance between the center ridge of the house and the outside edge. If he had used the slope distance along the face of the roof he would be incorrectly increasing the area of collection as the rain typically comes straight down and not perpendicular to the face of the roof. Once the rain hits the roof, and then collects in the gutter, the flow rate is the same no matter what the roof pitch is. The only difference between a steeply pitched roof and a shallow pitched roof would be the time it takes for the entire roof to drain into the gutter. A steeper roof would initially get the water into the gutter faster, but once there, it's flow is the same, provided both roofs have the same horizontal area.

    Thanks so much! Part of me wanted to dive into the math a little deeper but an engineering class would be the perfect place for that. You might also look at my video on filling a tire with a garden hose. It's great for engineering students, especially learning about absolute and gauge pressure in an automotive context.

    @@QuintBUILDs Yeah, I saw it too. As a matter of fact, it was the first video of yours that I saw, which made me want to check all the others ! But I felt that something was missing from that other one (or maybe I missed it): I do not recall hearing you cite the value of the base water pressure out of the faucet. Granted, though, depending on how your chained valves work (I am not sure I got that clearly), it may be possible to exceed that base water pressure via the accumulation of bottles on a single rail. Anyway, I like the way you think, here, and I like that you put efforts into estimating orders of magnitude. That is where engineering starts getting beyond mere tinkering. I will definitely direct my students to your channel.

    I rarely comment on videos and apologies for the essay ahead of time. I wanted to say how much joy this video brought me, I’m hoping to apply to do a PHD in physics sometime next year but have had major burnout for the past little while with covid restricting all in person lab and experimental work. I’ve been doing what I can from my home lab but this video really reminded me of what first got me into engineering and then physics! I’m a specialist in STEM in no small part due to not being able to clearly communicate wishy washy things like emotions so for lack of better description this video made me warm and fuzzy and had me cheering along like a kid! You have something really special here that truly captures the essence of experimentation and development. For what it’s worth thank you for making such great content!
