Thanks for sharing …. That’s really too bad that they didn’t work out for you but it’s good the company didn’t just shaft you either. Most of the reviews I see on these are something like “We got these they are so cool… (6 months later) … they had a bunch of issues but we worked through them …. (1 year later) …. We had to swap them out because of more problems (OR) we fixed the final problems and now things are working as we had hoped. It looks like a product that was shipped very much in beta stage of development. At the same time it looks like they aren’t a fraud and really do work (once you get through the initial 6-12 months of fixing glitches. I want super cap energy storage to work. I think it’s the future. But I want it to actually work and not just be a gimmick or a fraud.

Hello Michael, thanks for the views and interest. Yes planning on an update shortly as have lots going on. Another 30 panels going in. And another parallel inverter to set up. I run my whole house off the system. 7500watt currently but will double with the addition. My aircon is 18Kw ducted system. When my 14kwh batteries are full I dump to 3kw hot water cylinder. Thanks again. 😊

$5000 NZD per module

@@evofnk sir what is the capacity of each module

Hi, just some generic ones from eBay. You can make a hub or buy one. They say odd number blades are best. Example, 3 blades, 5 blades 7blades etc. the standard fisher and paykle washer machine shaft was machined down so the hub would fit. The standard internal thread was still used to retain the hub. Thanks

evofnk Thank you for the reply

Hi Hemi, thanks for your question. The stator was required as per “The back shed” website. I have tried all sorts of configurations but it all depends on the site, pressure you can actually get and size of nozzle used. Charge controller plays a big part as unloaded voltages can get very high and can damage the charge controller. Strange enough I have found running the turbine on a PWM charge controller better than a MPPT UNIT. Hydro to my house is 200meters @120v AC no load. 310watts @50vdc 45psi 2 10mm nozzles

Hi evofnk thanks for taking the time to reply to me and sharing your information. If you don’t mind me asking, what PWM charge controller are you using and have you got a diversion dump load setup, if so how have you set that up?

Hi Hemi, sorry for the late reply, I did not see your question. I don’t use PWM but have played with both MPPT and PWM. Surprisingly PWM looks to work better for the micro hydro. I’d say it’s because of the distance I have to run the power and the max volts the turbine can produce. The two controllers I use is Midnight solar 200vdc and the PWM Is Make sky blue. Shit controller as it’s meant to be MPPT but it’s locked at PWM so have ran tests with it as a PWM controller. Thanks

Hello, yes mine do that to if the voltage goes above the max set point of 54V once the input voltage to the module reduces the module will re engage it’s self.

@@evofnk Tnx so much sir But how to make an account plzzzz?

Hello tup_moyes cables are 200mtrs of 1.5mm 3 core electrical cable. Would be nicer to have larger lager cable but cost is $$$$ I’m now up to 312watt @6.5amp thanks

@@evofnk Yes, let the cables run the 200m distance as 3 phase AC, you can use thin doorbell wires. at 500V your AC frequency will be 100HZ+ so use 3 toroidal transformers that work better at higher frequencies and your losses will be small. (I do realize that this discussion is years old and you likely has finished your installation and is happy about it).

Hello Safwan yousuf it’s 7 kilowatt hours of capacity, usable capacity. The main deciding posing to get one was that the life span is far greater that lithium. 1 million cycles. Temperature is not an issue for these batteries where lithium can have issues. Charge rate is 1.69C if my math is correct. Max current 125amp voltage 44-54v BMS built in. Just connect positive and negative battery leads and that it. Thanks

@@evofnk I million cycles is …. Insane. If it’s true that should be the final and only needed selling point

Rocket Creations I haven’t had experience with lithium but have read a lot about them. The super capacitors when fully discharged disconnect them selves from the load. This is a pain as my inverters always need to see a battery to operate even if I’m drawing from the grid. So for this I have my old lead acid battery bank. (4 12v in series) just to transition during that period, works perfectly. Big factory for me to buy was the life span, charge rate, temperature and ease of use. Thanks

Aydan Mcdowell thanks for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how the super caps can store that amount of energy to discharge over time. They are amazing at handling extremely high loads but the storage is what gets me.

Rocket creations, no worries at all. Hard to know with out having some expectancy with them before you buy. They are awesome little units. 70kg of power storage power. They are modular so stack as many as you like together. Price per KWh is about $200 more than lithium but, no restriction to charge rate, discharge rate and cycles are 1 million projected so up to you but I like that compared to the projected lithium cycles.

@@evofnk in South Africa its a little closer to the lithium prices due to our energy provider having such issues. Seems to be a no brainer that going with the super caps is a better route. It will be a lot cheaper over the system life.

@@evofnk sir what is the price of these batteries

Don’t need that

evofnk. So how much power was it putting out then

Proof of concept, obviously 0 power with no magnet hub.

Hello, just uploaded an update vid of you wanna check it out. Have had some progress put it that way. This rain tonight should help a lot!! I’m in Onewhero cheers

@@evofnk Are you on fb? I'd like to send you pics of my attempts at micro-hydro.

Yes Aydan McDowell. Be keen to have a look, thanks

This is in NZ, so the machine would run on 220VAC. The actual motor is 3 phase from memory, but the machine itself would be fed from standard single phase 200VAC household supply. AngryRam does a great video series on converting an F&P motor for use. th-cam.com/video/0ieFZI4-6K8/w-d-xo.html
