    For the production of electricity of higher voltage, a generator should have:
    1. Stronger magnets
    2. More turns in its coil
    3. Quick relative motion between the
    magnet and coil

      I believe this is done at the box where it has a gear ratio change. The wheel is turning slow with a lot of torque and that can mean a smaller gear turning faster with less torque.

    It would take an electrical engineer about an hour to explain why numerous complex control systems would be required to maximize this setup's electrical power output and to match it to either a battery or some other load that can except the variable output power ie as the stream speed varies daily or seasonally.
    There are very few modern electrical loads that can directly accept this setups unguaranteed output voltage, power AND frequency, presuming its an AC generator. Note that the power and voltage comment applies to a DC generator...
    Directly driving a drum to wash clothes, a spindle to turn wood, or maybe a rotisserie is possible, but seriously how many people would bother today...?
    99% of the time IMO comments are a waste of time... few people read them, and even fewer people appreciate them. The comment process gives people a false or minimal indeterminate sense of contributing something of value. Most people don't care to hear other random people's oppinions. Most facts are useless drivel with zero useful factual objective information.
    I would be surprised if more then one person appreciates THIS comment... and there is no guarantee that anyone will.

      It's kinda counter intuitive but most are this way, so I'm pretty sure it's more efficient. I think they're at an angle with a hole drilled in the corner so the water can be drained out as it's entering on the other side..
      I've actually researched this a lot, I'm going to buy a couple wind turbines melt small plastic cups that can catch water at the tips.That way ya can use it the rain snow or shine as long as you can access a creek..

    • @tjstudionyc

    The waterwheel isn’t placed in the right direction. The “shovels” should get the water inside, and not from the outside. Dont know if you understand me, but it’s like taking the soup with a spoon that is upside down.

  • @Jeffweeeeelan
    @Jeffweeeeelan Před 3 měsíci +2

    A generator is most efficient at 1800 rpm, water wheels go very slowly but have tremendous torque, so a larger reduction would aid in the effectiveness.
    Also using a water channel means that the water can’t go around it, therefore providing more torque

    TORQUE on driving Shaft would immediately multiplied and thus the GAIN of electricity also increased at MINIMAL COST INCREASE.

Look at Stonehenge or other monoliths that have magnetic energy around them.. if, perhaps you build a small Stonehenge using poles with magnets then attach a long wheel or fan with magnets attached which then attach to a generator, then that propulsion alone would allow the wheel to turn using positive and negative friction to power the generator thus creating electricity…. So many ways but the easier the better and water might not always be in that area so it’s better better to create something self-sustaining with her without the presence of additional elements
