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! 👍🙏💚

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. Full step by step tutorial text: opensourcelowtech.org/water_turbine.html 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. ~Daniel

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 :)

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..

@OpenSourceLowTech

Жыл бұрын

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.

@ashtontechhelp

Жыл бұрын

@@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. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmZouchphs-6dZM.html
