Ultra-Small Water Power Generator

Alternative Energy No Comments »

Hydroelectric generation uses water power to drive turbines and is an important means for producing the electricity so essential for modern life. Facilities have been becoming smaller, with generators able to use diverse water power sources. We’ll look at an ultra-small generator developed in Gifu that’s highly portable and works even with shallow, slow moving water. Already tested powering street lights, it promises to allow people in the world’s remote regions to generate their own electricity for the first time.

Hi Friends,
Welcome to Let’s Grow Up Youtube channel. Today we are launching a fantastic video. in this video, we explained the History of Hydropower or Hydroelectric. What is Hydro Power? What is History? Everything you will learn in this video. Not only history but also learn about some scientists and how the turbine was invented.

The $50 Water Turbine -DIY, Portable, Powerful, and Open Source

The  Water Turbine -DIY, Portable, Powerful, and Open Source

Part 3: Real World Field Tests now up on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jl8vHHn7_s
This open source turbine can be built for about half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and basic hand tools.
The turbine is now working and producing power.

Part Two (with full power output results) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibCu0PxIZA4

This technology was produced in partnership with COACT, an open source green tech incubator in Barcelona. COACT exists to help all kinds of innovators working on green technologies. To learn more, and apply for a residency visit https://www.coactlab.org

And thanks to the good people at Ca La Fou (https://calafou.org/) for the rest.

Once the design is optimized I’ll produce a full open source construction tutorial on
the website: https://opensourcelowtech.org
the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/opensourcelowtech.org/
and the Facebook group (which is the main discussion forum): https://www.facebook.com/groups/opensourcelowtech/

My name is Daniel Connell. I prototype and develop basic technologies which anyone can make using recycled materials and simple tools.
The aim is for everyone everywhere to be able to build and maintain their own infrastructure; producing their own energy, food, clean water, communications, and anything else they need.
All designs are open source and license free for any purpose, and full construction tutorials and how-tos are available on the opensourcelowtech.org website.

A couple people have asked if I sell the file for the 3D printed impeller. I don’t, it’s free:
STL (mesh, 28 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=18NuQbyD55YhnAM9aj_lBrWgHAxp3iZxE
Iges (nurbs, 14 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HL_y-HwpomukQ7ORQf2E57Zy7ytoWTKN
Feel free to play around and experiment with them however you like, but please let me know how it goes and what your results are, as that’s always good to see.
It seemed to work ok, but I’m going to instead be using computer cooling fans as they seem to do higher revs at lower toque, and be a lot more accessible in other parts of the world.

Why waste water? These solar panels recycle greywater, produce energy

Alternative Energy No Comments »

For a longer version of the story, check out this video: https://youtu.be/nS_HgfanRjA

With support from the National Science Foundation, a multidisciplinary team is engineering solar panel technology that makes greywater reusable while creating thermal energy in the process. What is now wastewater would be used at least twice, cutting demand, and the free solar energy can be captured as well.

The research in this episode was supported by NSF award #1038279, EFRI-SEED: Solar Optics-based Active Pasteurization (SOAP) for Greywater Reuse and Integrated Thermal (GRIT) Building Control. EFRI-SEED is short for Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation-Science and Energy in Environmental Design.

Renewable Energy from Evaporating Water

Simple devices made of bacterial spores, glue, and plastic may allow capturing energy from evaporating water. This video explains the motivation behind our work and the exciting process of scientifically driven innovation. The contents are based on the publication: “Scaling up nanoscale water-driven energy conversion into evaporation-driven engines and generators”, Nature Communications, 6:7346 (2015). http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms8346
