@Warsrogue Over my roof not my roof. Its a water tower tank collection like thing someone built basically a 5000 gal tank from a truck sitting on a hill about 15 to 20 ft higher than my roof.
I would really like to know how much continuous water flow I would need to get about 10 kil wat. There is about a five acre pond with a 45 ft levy that has a stream that feeds it year round and I’ve often thought that there was enough power in that water flow to give me free electricity.
@early2it … you could call a roofer to rebuild your roof, figure 5000 gls is around 40,000lbs it’s heavy & will collapses the roof
Bravo
What could I do if I had a 5000 gal water collection and storage tank on my roof over my head about 15 -20 ft?
@sergeantRC Really?! No utilities here. I’ll make you a deal. We’ll mount some 2 inch schedule 40 pvc to the side of a ten story building with a shutoff valve and a reduction to 1/2 inch @ the bottom. I’ll go to the top and fill it with water and you put your face in front of it and turn the shutoff to open. Then you can tell us how much pressure it has. My example takes run out of the equation but I am confident it would still have more pressure than you wanted.
Where are you getting the water pressure from? You mentioned wasting water which leads me to believe that those pipes are fed by a commercial utility system.
Beautiful! clean and simple!
Nice work, easy and simple, I plan do something similar in peruvian Andes using recicled parts to build the generator>
This is awesome!!! I will try to build a hydro electric water wheel too!!!
Great job. How much friction loss do you have in that small diameter pipe?
nice set up. simple , elegant engineering.
How much dose one of these cost?
Not much. Not to mention hydro isn’t concidered green energy because flooding can cause some pollution by breaking down plants. But it is an okay system. If you live like where he is and don’t use much power. But if you live in a northern city where AC is crucial it’s worthless without secondary power sources.
how much power can be generated by this micro hydropower?
it would be a good system for WV we got streams everywhere
very good job !!
very cool set up. how many feet of head on the unit?
The land with water is the expensive part. I made something similar using a tidal pool along the ocean, some years ago. But if you can find land with a four-season stream, you’re better off than building something for the scale of the ocean.
this is really cool im up in portland i really need property with water and slope now
Great video thanks. What about snow and ice? Have you made a plan to prevent it?
