- 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.

Thank you for making the world better, we need more people like us :)
Glad to finally see someone putting a turbine in series to re-use the water flow, we need more of this kind of thinking
You can't "re-use" the kinetic energy which is what generates the power so putting them in a series is pointless hence nobody doing it.
@@rutger726 did you know that uhh, if you let water go downstream after going out of a generator. It will pick up speed again, hence, more energy. Fuck wit
@@rutger726 But since it's flowing downstream it will gain energy again from gravity. Wont be a problem if you space them out right.

There are already loads of these on the market, you can buy them right now, but I haven't seen one recently that put out such a small amount of power.
i prefere the older materials but the technique is not modern
I kinda appreciate the ancient style of narration and presentation used here.
For small scale hydro, I've always wondered about anchoring a similarly sized prop or paddle-wheel boat to the bottom of a river and driving generators with that. Perhaps on a larger model (small craft), even charging an onboard battery which could then move the boat via the same mechanism. as in, charging while anchored until it generates enough power to move.
Bottom of a river? How would that move a paddle wheel? Prop. Yes. Paddle wheel would have to be half in and half out of the water
@@michaelesposito2629 really I mean only the anchor being on the bottom with the rest floating very much at the surface. It might make a much quieter alternative to a generator on a camping raft, for example--though the point of those is as much fishing as camping, and the fish would likely not care for my idea. :)
This is actually illegal in many areas of the US. Disruptions to the flow of rivers and streams has a negative effect on the sediment and oxygenation levels, this is why so many don't like hydropower dams.

i hope they have this in philippine!!! great work!!
That's a very simple yet such an efficient solution. It works on the principle of Archimedes Screw
. Most of the times your thinking is limited by simply imposing the condition that you need height(P.E=mgh=>K.E) to produce electricity from water. But having proper knowledge of working of turbines working ranges and a little bit of height can produce a very effective results as shown in the video (although you will produce only double figures of watts, considering the size).
Dutchies: *it's free real estate*
I would like to see it become modular. So you could do stuff like change the length by adding and taking away parts. Different sized generators could also give you more power in places where you could make it longer.
Congratulations. God Bless you, Millions of Thanks.
This man is a hero for saving the environment and producing electricity at the same time 😆
Very nice, well designed and light weight, and modular. It works immediately. Congrats👍💧⚡
I've seen this done using a DIY old coil car dynamo (the reverse of what it's supposed to do) in a small stream. Well done.
A 12v 400ma solar panel literally makes more power than that puny thing. It doesn't even have enough power to light an led properly.

@@elyasrasti8943 A nuclear reactor literally makes a million times more power than a 12V solar panel. What‘s your stupid point again? The device was harvesting continuous, little streams of water.
@@PedroECalvo dude, my point wasn't about night power, my point was that it doesn't make much power to begin with. If you wanted power at night, get a 12v 1amp solar panel, hook it to a battery, and boom, you have enough power to light an led for the night.
This is wholesome when he shows the kids the generator 😌
`I love it.
Simple, easy and it works.
You have taught me also another way to harvest what nature gave us for free.
Love this, you could even put them in series down the stream and generate more power.
Great job. Remember... the Wright brothers didn't invent the Boeing. Keep up the good work.
Neither the airplane.
fseeletronicos © 1st Powered and controlled Flight and so far as their claim to the first airplane: “The late aviation historian Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith was a supporter of the Wrights' claim to primacy in flight. He wrote that a barn door can be made to "fly" for a short distance if enough energy is applied to it; he determined that the very limited flight experiments of Ader, Vuia and others were "powered hops" instead of fully controlled flights.”

Power generation is not the worlds problem. Effective power storage is the real issue.

Umm they are equally important
Very true. Its a shame that so much power is wasted as runoff.
Yes..although on the peripheral it may seem power generation is a big issue,it's not.."effective"or long term storage of energy forms that can be applied to work is what the new world should be concerned about.
If an effective way for storing the produced power for more than 48hours can be inventef then a lot of issues can be solved including the power generation and unwanted consumption.
Isnt. h2 is the solution for clean efficient storage...
Such simple and old tech still have room for innovation. Amazing
I would love to buy one of these!
Me too
Awesome, would be great if you could use one connected to the city water connection on your house and have it generate power whenever you turn your faucets on, flush your toilet, take a shower, etc.. For those of us who don't live near a creek or stream source.
I was thinking the same thing. Or for anybody that has sump pumps, could they use one to charge a battery in a flood condition? So while your sump pump is running, pumping out the basement, it charges a battery so if the power from the street it lost, it will still continue running the pump. There will be some loss there as the pump would draw more than it generates, but it might work.
Good old Archimedes screw, originally designed as a lift pump for all the reasons others have mentioned - simply design, isn't affected by small debris, sand, grit, etc like impeller pumps can be. Fitting a generator instead of a motor is also an old idea. Using it for small scale lighting can work, however that open trough under the screw is inefficient and is why it needs the angle to assist the water flow. The screw should be fully encased in a tube. That would greatly increase the efficiency, and it wouldn't need the angle, it would still work submerged, or in heavy flood flow, where excess water would simply flow over the top and not interfere with the screw operation
Make one

Howie Feltersnatch You obviously love in a comfortable, modern house. Millions of people around the world do not even have electric light to read by, for doing homework, for example. A small number of these devices placed in small channels, like irrigation ditches (see the test in Myanmar) can be the catalyst for educating the next generation of poor children, and eliminating the need for kerosine lanterns which cause an enormous amount of respiratory disease in n poor rural areas. You should get out more often, mix with people outside your comfort zone, and don’t judge the utility of something according to whether it might benefit you personally.
exactly.
@@CitizenAyellowblue I think he was being sarcastic r/whooosh
@@digitplays4008 Naw, the idiot seems genuinely insulting the device, due to his lack of knowledge.
Are you just looking for an opportunity to use a dated meme? Pathetic.
As for Scott, Great reply. Very True.
These devices can produce enough electricity to power LED lights and charge mobile phones - and in poor communities in the 3rd world, that's really what they need. They don't use (or need) vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, electric stoves or other devices using high-wattage power. Light is key - and the growing ubiquity of cellphones enables communication. These two factors (light and communication) are fundamental to small business development, education and economic growth, so this idea is perfect for billions of people in the developing world.

Bruh i thought the same thing when i first heard his voice
Great idea I enquired about the use of such generators to use in the river and was told NO so we need the governments to be on board too which is not happening as the big power companies are blocking such projects
to be frank, I'd do it anyway. I'm all about freedom, and am somewhat of a constitutionalist. Water doesn't belong to the government, also the government IS the people, i'm one of those people, this is OUR river/stream/creek. and i'm going to use it in a totally non-disruptive manner to create power.
Stupid conspiracy theories! The big power companies are not blocking small power projects! You want to build one, then do it. Don’t complain about non-existent opposition!
The only thing that might cause trouble is environmental regulations which make difficult any changes to a waterway. For that we have Green Communism to blame.
@@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy Actually water does belong to individuals (water rights) but as long as you are not taking the water out of the stream and using it somewhere else, as long as you are allowing all the water to flow through, there should be no legal problem putting this generator into a stream on your property.
It depends on where you live, of course, but generally, if you own the land, and the rights to the river, it should be no problem. In any event, you could dig a private canal to run some water away from the river, and into a generator, for personal use. I think it will be more and more common for people wanting to settle more permanently in hard to reach places. My country of Norway has got plenty of those, and rivers and streams to glean electric power from.
In some EU countries government doesn’t allow to sell electricity. They are trying to safe their monopoly and worried electricity price drop
Now all we need is a battery powered water purifier/filtration/desalinization device that this generator can hook up to.
I mean... technically speaking (albeit a highly inefficient method) is to use the energy created by the device to heat water and create some distillation thing...
It's efficient but I suppose it might be better than nothing
Then we'd have enough salt to last us a lifetime!
Easy enough run power to a 12 volt battery hook up a pump and plumb in a filter system self powered water system and some emergency power depending on how big of a battery.
Huh? Well you have one already, its called a coal filter, literally anyone can do it (cloth, crushed charcoal on top, then sand, then tiny rocks and gravel in an upright bottle). That still leaves microbes and stuff, but you can purify those by running a transparent tube in zigsags through a long bigger mirror tube with UV lights installed in there, it'll purify literally everything... Or just a long set of transparent tubes that run under the sun. Or just boil it.
Actually the typical home RO system will do that. They use DC power. I have some experiments using solar, but it's the same idea. If interest you can search youtube "tsbrownie solar ro water filter"
Pretty cool, could be nice for LED lights by the camp site, and charge a battery over night that can be used to charge cellphones. Probably would be best to have a couple to charge a battery depending on the speed of the water flow
thats pretty cool! Well done dude!
Archimedes screw -> Archimedes screw generator...nothing new...cool implementation though
I really like the gravitation vortex turbine ideas out there
The wheel reducing friction of stuff being pushed->the wheel doing the pushing
That's just how it works sometimes
What if reduction gear is added to this tech to generate double the power it's generating with current tech. And also it's better to provide a electricity storage instead of directly using electricity.
@@kiranvijaykumar5135 The total energy output will be the same.

"School grounds" not playground, listen again.
@@harrygatto You think elementary school children don't play in that river whenever given the chance? ;)

Is this the non Carbon type lol ????
Also act as a meat grinder for these fish, genius!
:P
What's with people saying this is the same thing as an Archimedes screw?
Sure, the screw portion of the device has the same properties, but the Archimedes screw was a hand-cranked pump to bring liquids and grains to higher altitudes.
Not so much hand-cranked nowadays but you get it.
This is almost literally the opposite of an Archimedes screw. Not saying it's a brand new invention worthy of crazy award, but it's not what people here are saying.
This guy imo does deserve an award, not for the invention, but for the effort he put into making use of it and making it more of a thing.

You can't do that. The spring will stop after a slight movement.

What Is Islam?
Islam is not just another religion.
It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
{ “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)
Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

Does anyone have the technical specifications on this hydro generator?
Yes. 7. There you go.
Its great practical invention with a question mark
How to deal with fishes and water animals
And how to deal with debris?
And how to deal with flooding
Actually debris, wild life, and flooding are areas where this design really shines. This type of turbine is relatively safe for fish. The fish don't have to spend a lot of time in the path of the turbine blade, and, even if they get near it, the blade probably isn't moving fast enough to cause injury to them. The Later parts of this turbine are not screened so debris and wild life shouldn't be a problem.
Flooding might be a bit more worrisome, since this design looks like it might stop spinning if it's submerged, but it is based on low rotation speeds. Water depth might not matter, depending on geometry of the creek bed.
Is the generator submergable may be better question/more specific than asking about flooding.
Fish will
Easy swim through spiral turbine

3:47 May I compliment the voice-over artist on this most charming bit of narration.
Very informative video sir thanks & love from Punjab Amritsar India
what is efficiency of this generator and it's power output?
It doesn't seem to have any kind of regulation ? Would be curious to have the specs.
1ton or 1000liter of water per hour over 1 meter of hight difference equals about 2,8Wh mechanical energy. Efficiency can get up to about 85% on hydro-powerplants.
So you can easily estimate the power of every water turbine...
15cm hight difference and assuming 80% efficiency leads to about 150mW Output per ton of water per hour.
if I well remember: flow 1m3/s from high 1m gives you ~1kW of power
(981W). So, I think that this generator in sowed location is rather
comparable to bicycle generator (if you know that little device).
They don't give specs on the power output, but by showing a simple LED light as the intended target, we cannot imagine much power coming out of it.
You can charge you phone. Stupid idea.
what happens when generator submerged inside the water flow, during high current. will it still generate Electricity?
pretty sure it will.
nope its completely unsealed and exposed to the water because the Japanese engineer doesn't know what a rubber seal is. (dumbass question)
