The water pressure is 0.4 meters, the flow rate is about 8 liters per second. The flow capacity is about 16 W. The efficiency of hydroelectric power plants is at best 30%. The actual power is less than 5 watts.

Clickbait. That thing has an much chance of generating 7000w as I do lighting up a fart and rocketing to the moon.

Now build it 5 times bigger, 10 times more efficient, and near an actual reservoir and you might actually be able to generate enough to power that fan

There's a lot of improvements you can do to this, like maximizing efficiency of the bucket's water processing, making the most out of the current of the water, the outflow of the exit pipe's position to make sure no water is is being slowed down, adding a stabilizer at the lowest point of the shaft so that it doesn't move around, replacing the flat sheets of the turbine with curved ones, or even replacing the sideways turbo styled bucket system and instead use a downwards cyclone styled one. Lots of ways to squeeze the maximum potential out of this.

Kudos to the guy for having made this. I'm sure it took some effort. *_HOWEVER ..._* 7,000 watts = 9.38 Horsepower. That's nearly 10HP, so think for a moment about the size and power of a 10HP electric motor. It's a big, heavy motor, and if you bought it new, it would set you back more than $600 - probably quite a lot more. 7,000 W is enough to drive a fork-lift truck or a small electric car. There is *_NO WAY_* that sort of power is coming from the thin vanes in this "turbine". If they were subjected to almost 10 HP, they would get flattened. A 10hp Baldor 1760rpm 215t 3ph motor weighs 231lb (105kg) - so you wouldn't be able to pick it up. The electricity to drive that much power does not - *_NOT_* - come out of the setup shown here. The formula is ... P = m x g x H x n where ... P = power in Watts m = litres per sec of water g = gravitational constant = 9.81m/s^2 H = head of water (about 0.5 M as shown at 0:30 ) n = overall efficiency of the system Considering the gaps between the vanes of his "turbine", and between the magnets and coils, I wouldn't expect efficiency to be more than 0.5. So there's the formula. Do the math, Folks. How much do you reckon he's getting out of his generator? I'd say maybe 20W, but that's a long way short of 7,000W.

The rotation speed is not high enough to provide the frequency and voltage required to turn on the fan. And when it went under load, it did not affect the rotation speed of the generator. I think power came from elsewhere.

There is no chance this produces 700 watts, 7 watts seems more realistic but still impressive. Overall, very cool construction!

12:15 So your telling me he has access to grinders, welders, drills, etc. But he doesn't have access to a shovel

I gotta give him credit. Even if it's clickbait or it can't power a phone charger, he still did a lot more work for a video than some of these people out there.

The power source is inside the pvc pipe. And when load was connected the turbine didn't slowed down 🤔😂

I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN... TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?

The outlet is to small, this means that the entire bucket is filled with water. This also means that the blades has to move a lot of water this requires energy, so you loose most of the rotating power you got from the water inlet. The speed the blades have is to high for what energy you get out of this setup. The pipe the transformers are sitting on probably contains a motor that powers the rod he connects here. 3:15

"spam or misleading". Definitely qualifies as the latter. As glumpy10 so aptly put it "Clickbait. That thing has as much chance of generating 7000w as I do lighting up a fart and rocketing to the moon"

gotta love how turbine is spinning faster than water is flowing

Всё на сварку готов прихерачить, и подшипники и трансформаторы, нормально чё :)

It’s amazing what you can build from scrap items, even if it doesn’t give you the full amount of energy, it’s still worth building it to help things out. 🎉🎉🎉 well done.

4:00 usually if you weld bearings, the heat from the welder boils off/burns out the grease in them. the best way to make sure they last is to re-pack them with grease so they dont run dry

В любой непонятной ситуации приваривай подшипник.

Despite the other issues… that’s awfully brave of you to use an arc welder on a microwave transformer.

Who needs fasteners when you can weld everything.

I evaluate the power produced to around 1W, if any. Quality engineering and trustworthiness.

So another title for this video states 7000 watt generator, that is a lot. almost 32 amps, if you did produce that much you'd melt the cable. A theoretical value or measured ?

When laying bricks, it's always best to butter the ends of the bricks before they are put in place.

Curve the blades into the inlet current and add a lower support arm, also place a cover on the bucket top. You will see a major improvement

Nice project. you should add a gear, so that it can spin more faster to create more electricity... Thanks bro.

So convenient for him to build it, and then the dam magically has water afterwards. Hes such a legend.

The 7,000 watt claim may be a bit of a stretch. But I do applaud his ingenuity and creativity.

This is self sufficient, the pressure of the water is keeping the momentum of the magnets constantly rotating. Magnets placed accordingly to repel. The motor generator will continue to provide power with continuous water pressure. Free electricity! You can increase speed and size of motor to increase capacity, Better gears and bearings.

This is only basic but we can improvise many point. The most important thing is the idea. To me the problem is where to get the damp because my house is in town. Thanks for the video.😀

Very good! Thanks. If you build the blades rigid forward, but flexible backward, the forward would have less resistance, therefore the shaft would have higher speed, thus increasing the voltage; but I don't know what would happen with the current, because I see that you don't use any regulator.

My guess he got the 7000w number from the nominal power each microwave has (usually 1750w). Saying that he can extract from this contraption is a long shot but thats what every company do to promote theyr stuff lol. Anyway, its a nice project.

One good Monsoon and that dam is history.

Power came from elsewhere. We are nowhere near 60 hertz so the lightbulb would flash on and off if it was the generator actually powering it.

Total con. There's so many reasons why this hasn't got a single chance of working in reality, but he's got 1.6million views out of it already so its a big win for him!

Cool project. Hope it helps the farm. The ghetto welding was terrifyingly fun to watch. Not sure what you want to power, hopefully not something very demanding. I'd be glad to have it on an island for a shack light and maybe radio.

нужно создать полную тех. цепочку. с нуля и до ГЭС :) научиться искать нужные материалы, породу для выплавки металлов, то есть геология, научиться плавить - кузнечное дело, научиться делать из найденного генераторы, и потом уже создавать гэс.

Конструкцию можно улучшить и получить больше КПД

Ahaha... That thing is not producing 50Hz, but asynchronous motors are spinning fine :D Nice trick...

I like watching people build generators that they use at their homes instead of people trying to make a video and leaving the mess behind

If the magnetrons only output 1500 watts max, how would four of them possibly output 7000 watts? 1500 x 4 = 6000 Doesn't even seem theoretically possible.

Nice, you will get more energy if you lower the outlet pipe on the bucket, the greater the fall the more energy.

I want to see you stop the flow of water and the fans and light bulb turn off.

couple things just for this guy (not a hater) he needs to really weld these tack welding is bad enough but just a few of them isnt gonna hold anything; also, it doesn't take much effort to build a diy tensioner bolt system its easy.

I actually love watching these videos of yours I'm always impressed

This can't possibly generate 31 amps in order to achieve 7000w at 220v🤣

You can measure the power it generates instead of using fans...

I came here for the video but stayed for the comments. Yes the 7000 watt is a an exaggeration of epic proportions,but at least he succeeded in trying. He did so with flipflops and racked many views. People watch because what he builds is pretty dam amazing. In contrast we have some of these supposed engineers who watch and comment and criticize in the most negative way. Yet they are usually the ones who would never in their wildest dreams imagine doing something like that much less build their own dam. They are likely the ones who design/outsource and then have someone else build it.

Everthing is energy! everthing in the universe is in motion. congradulations.

Overall it got me watching it a few minutes same as it has 1.7M others. Of course its a bulls..t but it has the clicks which was the intention at the first place

If Im ever stranded on a junk island, this is the guy im bringing

I would never in my life even attempt to touch a microwave transformer, watching that gave me anxiety

youtube recommend this video, is wasting my time. thanks UKposts for removing dislike counter, your teams are really helping the community here

Yeah, yeah plenty of opportunity for optimization, but your method of KISS is great.

You'll get more consistent power by building it as a vertical mill rather than horizontal. The goal with small scale Hydro electric is charging; not power like say a wind turbine.

With the increases on electric prices in the last 2 years in the US,I can see why there are 7.5 million views for this video.I pay close to 100 dollars a month in the summer for 230 KWhr's in Northern Pennsylvania.When the ac or heat is not on and have a flat plate collector with evacuated tubes coiled copper pipe inside for hot water.

If the bucket lid is closed then pressure will be little bit more

I will do it someday... Great idea bro...

Looks like magic. You pick random high ratio transformers, put them around magnets then spin the rotor with an uncontrolled stream of water... no control neither over the voltage, nor the frequency, yet pulling like 100W from a weak stream and operating equipment designed for AC 220V at 50Hz. No effect putting load to the generator.... does not even try to slow down due to the load. This could work with DC gen, a few LED-s with a switching power supply capable of handling wide input voltage. I am not a civil engineer, so would take me a long time to calculate how much power you could get from this setup, but I guess it is something to power a few LED-s, definitely not 2 fans fans and a light bulb, in total needing something in the ballpark of 100W.

Super ! et en plus avec du matériel de récupération…Bravo et merci .

You need a spade that tool lol Try letting water out the bottom of the bucket or slow the flow use a smaller nozzle so bucket don't fill up otherwise seal the top and monitor the pressure

Let’s say it all together 👏stop👏welding👏bearings👏

That dam needs a filtration or desalination process.

Very Interesting Video, to be able to power 2 desk fans & a light bulb with a 3x outlet power strip, not bad. the Vertical shaft isn't as efficient as the Overshot water wheel, because the Over shot wheel uses a combination of water pressure & Gravitational force to rotate the wheel, causing for less resistance, the water's not only rotating the shaft, but it's also pushing against the next paddle in line, slowing the rotation & wasting a bunch of that energy, plus you might want to boost that Speed ratio for higher RPM crank on that Permanent Magnet Generator. like those Hand Crank Radio/flashlights, crank at a slow RPM, it barely produces enough energy to charge the battery to run the radio or flashlight, but the faster you crank it, the more power it gets out of it. like I said it's an interesting video & that's a good idea for a hydro-electric dam, not the most efficient, but it's a good idea.

I don't think it is generating 50 to 60 hz required by the fan

Of course like! What does the tester show? How many volts and what is the frequency?

While I don't believe the out put is as calculated to get the stated power. I do enjoy the trying new things. It doesn't look like he has the best equipment to work with, for the sake of God, he's welding bearings. But, the ingenuity I do like. And it's sadly missing in America these days. So I give the fella kudos for that anyway. Good work!

A good effort,,,,very industrious guy,,,, well done.

you cant use this with appliances with microchips, it will surely break the circuitry. this generator hardly able to meet the 60hz frequency standards

Need to add gears to high speed rotation to faster generates power.

Great work, but you should have fabricated chain adjusting or tensioning mechanism.

Mũ cối, quạt điện, cái bay, thùng sơn ... đúng chất Việt Nam. Rất tuyệt vời

I wonder how 220v power can be generated by such low rpm. But efforts were great

If you used gravity as well as the presure from the dam(horizontal orientation) and using half of the bucket instead of fully enclosing the impeler(so the water drag is minimum) i think it would give of a little more power and I think using a proper alternator instead of recicling old colis would also greatly boost the power output

So I've seen a clip and looking at that spinning with that tiny electric bit on the end, I reckon your be able to light an LED at best. 😂

Muito bom! Parabéns!

В соседних катушках будут возникать эдс с разными направлениями, а при таком соединении катушек эти эдс в сумме дадут ноль. 500 гПопуляхов.

No está generando los 220v, es con poca densidad la energía que genera, la solución seria ponerle una corona más grande así el piñón aumenta RPM para generar más energia

I came to see how to build a dam wall, thanks for the help!

Very nice! Please build some kind of enclosure over top to protect it from rain storms

Thumbnail is looking like Minecraft texture pack

I can imagine the efforts you have put to make this video

Bare handedly holding a metal plate while drilling? Made me regret until now. 🤣🤣🤣

Нужно рабочее колесо доработать, тогда мощность больше будет отбираться от потока воды. А вообще good !!!

Once it is refined it could be used to run a light or two. Not enough power in what he was using to power a fan or two. You would need a much better set up than that to power a fan.

At first I was worried about him being barefoot. Thank god he became aware and put on his safety flip flops

One mistake around that amount of water with 220vac gives me the shivers. There have been many a person electrocuted with a gasoline generator during the right conditions.

I think you should build a wind turbine instead since water will be scarce in a few years. And using a welding machine with ur bare foot and a grinder with no protecction, thats a recipie for disaster!!

Was entertaining to watch. Good work 🙂👍

Молчага всегда старается что-то сделать.👍 Но нужно показать какое напряжение какой ток, сколько ватт, какая частота?! Мне кажется там не 220v но тем не менее дал идею и на этом спасибо.👏

It'll charges a battery bank used in a survival style living situation for some light and to keep a refrigerator going. All I really need.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the power wattage for this fans are about 30-40W at the minimum. From the look of it the height of the head water to the tail water with respect to its datum line is very small. Also the frequency of this motor is also small since it is an AC the formula is N(rpm) is directly proportional to frequency. Considering the head loss of the pipe and its friction delivered to the shaft of the generator it may also affect the power output of the system. From the look of it the flow is between laminar or transitional flow due to the small speed and wide diameter of pipes. Over all this system is impossible to drive two fans.

If he can avoid that Water overflowing problem he may can get better speed for that turbine.

This was inspired, I want to do something like this in my backyard. My only concern is that it would have been nice to add a way to alter the tension of the chain incase you have to change it.

Welded bearings? No way that's not distorting the races or at least the covers.

Power generated debate aside... this is a pretty cool homemade miniature hydropower dam.

ഇത് ഇനി മലയാളത്തിൽ ഒര് ചാനൽ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നത് കാണാം 💥💥❤️❤️

thank you, I was wondering how to make a vertical bearing, I guess I can use a shaft for fans

bit of a death trap, but nothing some wood or plastic covers could not fix, and probably only able to output something like 300w, but that is still fantastic for a side project made from scrap, you are not going to run any high power items from it without issues no hair dryers or kettles, no old fashion light bulbs. you could probably fast-charge about 40 smart phones at a time from it though which makes it super useful, or run about 20 LED flood lamps.

it would be awesome if you build a series of these set in a single water flow, you light up an entire household!
