Good to see this again, the previous waterwheel is when I started watching.

In an earlier video you complained about your lack of motivation.. now I see you out in the cold rain playing with water. I'm glad you are as motivated as you are, thank you for making these videos.

That slow-mo was very useful - wouldn't thought about water being carried on a wrong side of the paddle when it meets the wheel, especially with no load!

Good slow motion to see how the water pushes or katches the blades.

Find an old balance/hoverboard and use one of the wheels as they make good brushless generators usually can pick them up for free or really cheap as the batteries die because balance charge board gives up sometimes the cells are still good good to see you back at it

May I make a suggestion? Maybe heat the end of the pvc pipe, about a foot in length, and squash it to widen it to spread the flow across the paddle of the wheel to eliminate the splash back as the water enters the scoop?

I wouldn't flatten the pipe (a flattened pipe actually carries less volume), as much as just make a Louvre or fender to force the water DOWN and into the paddles (sorta like the orange thing in very beginning of vid, but upside down and curved down). Then I would move the wheel center just slightly behind the end of the pipe (so the pipe overhangs the wheel center). This will ensure that gravity AND the lateral speed of the water have maximum effect on the edge of the wheel, and the Louvre/fender should allow any high flow (from rain, snow melt, etc) without restricting flow or wasting the extra lateral motion of extra volume of water shooting past the wheel. Overhanging the pipe past the wheel center will ensure that the wheel still gets the most power during low water flow, where gravity will do more work than the speed of the water.

Great idea,but you should get a 5 gallon bucket of fiberglass resin on Amazon to keep your wood wheel protected, and your dam set up protected, good job

great work! I wonder if we can calculate the load the generator is putting on the wheel based on the amount of water in the cups as it rotates around? There was a significant difference between unloaded and loaded.

Отлично 👍. В кончику трубу отвод надо на 45%. На генератору побольше звездочку нужен. Слищком тежело крутится.

Seriously neat as all heck! 🔥👍🔥

So many questions so few explanations. Is the water source a spring? Home irrigation system? Constant flow? Limited to rain cycles? Wood rot worries? Could one use gears for a solar powered water pump from a farm pound to power a water wheel that produces more than the pump could consume and the gear it for upscaled power generation?

I Think the Water is hitting the wheel at the wrong point. THE Wheel is Naturally Trying to Reverse. Move the wheel back to have the flow hitting the wheel at the 11:00 o'clock point ? Or at least Just over & beyond the upper center point of the wheel. The water looks to be pushing the wheel UP HILL here. The water must push the wheel in a Downwards motion. = Extend the blue pipe by 4 to 6 inches ? To Gain more speed & power from the flow. You could also Test / Trial this idea, Make the end of the pipe graduate to a smaller outlet hole to increase the water pressure. ( but this may also Decrease the flow slightly ? ) I like your Set up. Hence i offer advice & ideas to try.

Glad to see that the chooks are supervising the project

The the world economy continues to deteriorate, we are going to see more and more of this. People making power from what's a hand, living in trucks, cars and sheds. Great to be ahead of the game. You never know what the weather or other factors will bring.

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing what kind of amps and voltage you can draw from it.

Need the water to fall father forward, will improve speed of wheel. It's hitting on top.

Congratulations Joe! greetings from Brazil

I am happy the wheel is back!

I think you can get more power out of your water head if you extend your pipe slightly over the wheel so that the water falls a few inches before contacting the wheel. You might try an adjustable length slip pipe that you can tune the point that the water exits the pipe.

@waynespyker5731

Yes, move water contact to wheel center or past. Load the buckets across the wheel's width by tee and short nipples vented across their bottom. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5eou7enkbXYaLw.html RPM shown is 12-15 using 40% of a 4 inch supply, cold start requires 2 buckets to load (about 75 gallon).

Hello from UK . You would get more power if the water fell into the wheel and not pushed it ! Make Pelton Turbine that will give you serious power.

I forgot what the estimated potential power of the water was, but I definitely remember figuring well over half the power was going into swinging those chains about. Very excited to see the next steps.

@jaseastroboy9240

Chains wouldn't rob much power as long as they were well lubricated. I mean, bicycles have been using them a long time and if they were robbing lots of power then bicycles would all have driveshafts. As many people have mentioned, moving the water flow slightly further forward would remove the power loss from back of the blades hitting the water and the associated power loss. The other advantage would be the auto start ability. Even a small water flow would get the wheel turning the correct direction. I didn't see anyone mention but if there is room to lower the wheel without it fouling on the exiting water then that would give several inches more water drop. Greatly increasing the energy of the water entering the wheel. The only other thing would be the stability of the installation which I imagine will be addressed once proof of concept is over. Any wobble in the framework will translate into slight power loss. And one final thought, treat yourself to some wet weather gear. Much more fun playing in the rain with dry feet. :)

Love how he spends so much time an effort on the wood but the rocks are just Mickey Mouse time....

Loved the video, my freind has a stream going throught his property and i am going to have a project this summer, only changes i will make is to generate AC at the source to reduce transmission losses and problems with water and electronics, and then rectify it 50 meters away in his dry shed, ill use a PLC to monitor and to charge controll the battery banks. but its lovelly to see that free energy beeing used all over the world. Using our intelegence to tap into it. I notice you have a elevated watersource, you could dam it and use preassure in a turbine or water wheel as well. Although i like the esthetics of a wooden water wheel more. Good luck with all you do.

Unfortunately you don't have always that water flow right? I'm considering building a water wheel or a small peltom wheel, which one would you recommend? I live off grid and could leave the batteries charging there and exchange them when they're full. Thanks!! Great project

you could try gluing magnets to the flywheel and have a bunch of coils spaced around the flywheel. it looks like you water pipe is higher at the end than the beginning.

How much wattage / current can you get it to produce?

Joe, can you recommend an efficient generator for your waterwheel ?

Good to see you back with more videos! I was going to ask you this question when you was working on the water wheel at the old place,,, would incorporating the idea of an 20 speed bike - chain, derailleur, and multiple sprockets - be of any use to increase your overall speed for the little amount of force the wheel is using?

@jttech44

3 жыл бұрын

It wouldn't. RPM isn't a factor until you're at the maximum speed of the turbine, and this is far under that point while under load. Basically, there's no way to get more power out of a given amount of water and a given amount of head (drop) and if you don't have enough water, nothing you do makes much of a difference.

The best way to increase power here is to increase the size of the wheel.. the greater the diameter (and also width), the more water(or weight) the wheel can effectively hold. The increased weight increases the power the wheel can develop. Of course, there is a limit. The bigger the cups/buckets are, the longer they take to fill and the slower the wheel turns. It's a fine balancing act. Sometimes, it's better to accept a lower output...

Mantap, saya suka video kreatif kaya gini

Is the pipe underground going up somewhere? Why does the water in the blue pipe flow upwards? In other words, does the stream come to you from the mountain through a closed pipe, the beginning of which is higher than your wheel?

You can use the bases from 2 of those rotating office chairs on wheels. They have 5 arms and a nice bearing housing perfectly in the center. You can then run your axle through the centers of the bases. Because the arms are all the same exact length, you can connect them to the two outer wheel forms quite precisely and it results in a well balanced wheel.

@MarkRose1337

3 жыл бұрын

@@nickkitchener6155 That's a good idea. But my concern is the weight balance: even if the wheel is perfected centered, the weight may not be due to material factors like varying density in the wood. It needs to be fairly evenly balanced to not have a variation in speed as the wheel rotates; a variation in speed would produce a large-scale ripple in the voltage that may confuse an MPPT charge controller.

I'm glad to see you bring this back but like I've sed before dose it not make sense to put it after your turbine then you can get more out of the the water you have

I suspect you are loosing some watts with water falling too backward in the turbine. try mooving the mill just a bit forward :-)

@9:48 Flow dynamics. Your wheel is being turned by the speed/force of the water as it discharges from the pipe onto the blades of your wheel. If you were to spread/distribute the water evenly across the width of your blades, it would be the weight of the the water inside each blade that turns the wheel. Just a thought.
