- This is part 4 of my series on generating power from rain gutters. We're not just squirting water on a propeller, I show how to calculate the power available and harness an increasing percentage of it. In this video I actually store the power in a smartphone, something people argued could not be done!

Also looks like I missed a great opportunity to make the gutter valve MUCH simpler. Thanks to the comments I now know what a "bell siphon" is. Practical engineering has a fantastic video on it. A great example of when a plenty capable person (me) hasn't seen a far better way of doing something (bell siphon) and an opportunity for another great video!

Being able to stumble upon, and then binge through episodes 1, 2, and 3, was a true blessing. Especially with ep 4 less than a day later. Fantastic content!
Same here
@@sandrosilva2515 i literally just finished 1,2, and 3 before typing this.... youtube must of recommended his first video when he uploaded this one
I'm in the same boat. Watched 1, 2, and 3 earlier this morning. Looked for part 4, and it wasn't there. Got back on CZcams a few hours later and bam! Full closure to my binge. Thank you!
A week.
Same. I think it was just yesterday that I saw the first parts
You should power a sign that says "It's raining"
haha this is great
lol no send a text to the family phones that says wear rain gear ... lol
You should have the water jet double as a herons fountain with a release valve that way you can generate power even when it’s not raining and not overfill you’re gutters
hahah
Great idea.
He potrays a good image of patience,determination and focus
He is John Electrick.
And passion
It’s what makes America America.
I am a first-year engineering student and these videos are absolutely amazing. Your awesome explanations are only amplified by your great videography and editing skills. This, in turn, makes the videos very informative while still being entertaining. I also love your passion, patience, and enthusiasm. This is quality content!!!
Watching this re-hyped me for the rest of my degree after zoom classes killed literally all of my motivation lol
Spoken like a true engineer lol well said
Fantastic series, has all the good stuff:
* Over-ambitious
* Over-engineered
* Roof-jokes
* Actually teaching stuff
Keeping this up you will reach 100K subs in no time :) Can't wait for the next episode!
Nice! Love this... 😁
How many subs was he on, when you commented? Because is at 108k now.
@First name last name He really grew quick. I found him about a week ago and subscribed, but never looked at how many he had.
@@joschaugustenborgnielsen2366 He's on 115k now.
@@RektOrNah 119k
this channel is so good because he explains the best, especially in ways normal people understand.
It takes mastery of the subject or communication to be able to do that. I think he has both.
On episode 2 when he was talking about the full bridge rectifier I was actually able to understand what was happening. I watch another channel that talks about this stuff but it's not geared towards the average joe
idk, i feel like he is explaining this way too simply... maybe for people who arent in the field this would be good? it just seems too simple to me, or at least the way he explains it does.
as an electrician, I'm finding this rather fun, good explanations of how things work :)
Electricians are budget electrical engineers
As an electrician do you see a way you could put this on a bigger scale for personal purposes ?
Da Blair as if water mills were not a thing :) not to mention, I hope you know he is replicating what has already been done, so yes, you can lmao
Golden piston i meant the same thing but still behind your house just with a bigger roof surface for example .... sorry if my question sounded stupid for you we are not all as smart as you my lord !
Golden piston you write like you want to insult me instead of teaching me and thats one sad thing about comment sections, some lame ass come here to laugh at people who try to improve their knowledge! He is able to charge a phone could he do a different pattern so it would charge more with the same amount of water/same wheels etc or you absolutely need a bigger roof surface in order to have more water, and could you do this example on a whole roof and use this to cover your garage electricity outlet for example? That was my question :) but I guess you are just not smart enough to read between lines 🤷🏻♂️😘
12:05 "We're from the NSA, get it straight!" lol
Incredible. I just finished episode 3 not even five minutes ago.
same, Yotube didnt recommend it, but i looked on his uploads, there it was :)
Same here lol
Ditto! Such good videos
Lol I just binged the others last night
Same. And I started episode 1 one hour ago

"So anyway, I finally charged my phone"
So far the major disco was that it isn't your phone! ITS JUST DOING SHIT WHILE OFF!
@@gabydewilde mining crypto currency :D
Yep. This is why when journalists are on Air Force One making a classified trip, they're required to completely remove the battery. At least that was the case when batteries were removable in flagship phones. The Secret Service probably has a RF-shielded box for that now.
Cellular companies can track phones while they're "off". For most electronics, off is just sleep mode.
@@krozareq its called intrinsically safe. industrial sites like the major oil refineries use them. its just a special phone or radio that doesn't cause interference
New phones a taking 50w charge 😂
At the moment I write this comment, this channel is 10 months old, has 10 videos and 162 thousand subscribers. This tells a lot about the amazing quality of your videos. Keep it up!

I found this series yesterday and was so sad I was gonna have to wait for the next video. BUT I DIDNT HAVE TO!!!!
Same(3 days ago).
2:06 I had a "what if the rain isnt powerfull enought" thought , but i was thinking of a pythagoras cup that whould make it so when the thing is filled it flushes it all out

This was part of my thesis on alternative energy sources in college ten years ago 😃 glad someone actually built it
lol i did it in the late 70's for high school electronics open house lol
I used it as part of a proposal for my final environmental science project. I see I'm not the only one who saw gutters as sources of free energy!
I found your channel yesterday, and I've learned more from you then any science class I ever had!
You didn't listen much in school right
Me too.
Well, even when it is not a practical way to energize devices at home, you know what they say, "it is not about the destination, it is about the trip" and this series of videos has given us a great learning trip! Very interesting process and a lot of stuff to cover, science, engineering and making stuff!
I love how is like a conversation, it just goes semlessly into whatever random subject is next
To see that "Charging screen" the smartphone has to partially boot, so the bootloader is engaged and a minimal firmware is loaded.
This means the CPU is technically awake (at very low power). Aside from the protection circuitry the display controller will be awake, the top LED will be lit red (with associated circuitry) and so on.
You are correct, however Cell phone batteries have a BMS built into the connector leaving the Over charge, Over discharge, and over current protection to the battery, the phones protection circuitry awakens when a voltage is applied to the charge port. if the voltage exceeds 5.5V the phone is supposed to disconnect input by a mosfet... or if the voltage is below 4.5 the phone wont bother waking to acknowledge a suitable charge voltage. However each manufacturer... varies on the voltage limits... and in some cases limits are not implemented at all. Always maintain 4.9-5.1V typical to avoid damage to the phones internal circuitry cause even if you fry the charge port... that wont damage the battery as it will simply self regulate regardless what the phone does.
Once you get down into the mA, that power LED actually starts to be a measurable power draw.
Good stuff here guys! Thanks!!!
Definitely over engineered, but definitely the most fun I've had watching someone explain scientific principals, idea, and method in a long time. Can't wait to see what's next, perhaps a perpetual motion machine? 🤷♂️🤔
perpetual motion machines are not possible lol they violate the second law of thermodynamics

this playlist was amazing. you explain engineering concepts so well. i thought your alternator explanation helped me understand what is going on better than anything i've seen yet. would love to see a series of you explaining BASIC electrical engineering concepts on projects I can do at home (without a 3d printer, of course lol).
You could use an pythagorean cup as a valve instead of the toilet valve. The pythagorean cup will only open if it is above a certain water level but it flushes all available water.
might run into problems with clogging. roof might catch leaves etc.
@@andyk2594 screen before the entrance to the reservoir.
@@devins7457 then the screen gets clogged
you're thinking of a bell siphon, but sure refer to the 'asshole' cup
Anyways, as others have said, it will eventually get clogged with debris, even with the current system, it could easily get clogged with debris, but its part of the journey. If this was meant to be a perfect system, it wouldnt have been based on rainfall from a 1st floor roof
not a engineer so didnt think about toilet valves but did think of the pythagorean cup too
This was so inefficient and perfectly awesome at the same time. Must have cost a minor fortune for just a minor bit of power. But you are one stubborn and clever man. I loved every second!
I found this channel this morning and have learned so much, thank you for the hard work in your series and I look forward to your future projects. This inspired me to try to want to learn more about electricity and power.
I have watched episodes 1-4 now, and have to say that you have a knack for explaining the details in a way that I truly get. Thanks Quint, it's been a pleasure watching you and your builds!
I don't know why your channel was on my recommendations, but I'm glad it was. You're videos are captivating!
This series was awesome, reminded me of how King or Random used to be, my goal is to have a shop (or access to one) where I can just mess around with fun projects like this
I agree I loved his channel as well rest in peace Grant😔😔😔.
Smarter Every Day is one of my favorite channels, and this hits the mark just as well! Not to mention, I love the DIY aspect of the topics, and i still learn a lot. Being an avid DIYer for a lot of things, this channel was just what ive been looking for!
Long story short, you've got yourself a new subscriber, and i cant wait to see what you can do in the future!
I can't wait to show you! 👍
@@QuintBUILDs definitely looking forward to it!
Your kind nature and the way you explain everything is why I subscribed to your channel Quint. Very interesting content and I love your collection of tools! Yowsa!!
This reminds me of that one episode in Malcolm in the Middle where Hal needed to change a lightbulb and ended up fixing like half the house in some sort of living Rube Goldberg sequence.
I just watched the previous 3 videos today and was really happy to see that you just uploaded part 4. Amazing job. I learned a lot and it was fun to share the journey.
I'm so glad to see someone who knows what they are doing try out the idea I had when I was a child and wrote off as impractical thus never telling anyone. thankyou for answering an old question in my mind.
I too stumbled on this channel whilst checking out wind generating power. Back to back #1,2,3,4, great content very well explained the way things work and more importantly why- Job Well Done 👍🏼 Barnie.
Love how you can explain all these complex process and break it down to make it seem easy
Honey, I turned the gutter into a toilet... and it's overflowing
underrated comment
Watched this series of videos after finding a 2" micro water generator online and wondering what i could do with such a thing.I found your approach to problem solving unique and enlightening and most of all inspiring.Thankyou for your invaluable content especially the math . Looking forward to the next episode!
I can't imagine any STEM teacher not using this series for students. Awesome job! I especially enjoyed the down to earth wrap up that puts what can be done and what is worth doing side by side. Thank you very much.
Finally a part 4. Loved watching all the improvements. Wish I could do cool stuff like this.
"16%, essentially a dead battery"
:watching video on phone @ 12%:
....lol
The fact that your phone shows 12% doesn't mean anything really, it shows 12% of what you're allowed to consume and not damage the battery. Even at 0% charge your battery has over a volt of energy contained in it, that's what he was referring to. If you were vaping you'd know that at max your 18650 can store from 3.7 to 4.2 volts max and the lowest possible voltage on a battery is between 1.7-2.0 volts where manufacturers basically cut off any possible drain from the battery in order to preserve it.
There's a negative factor to the battery longevity if you OVERcharge your and the same, if not worse - if you by accident overly discharge your battery. Most of the time you won't even be able to charge up on overly discharged battery at all. In best case - you'll be left with 50-70% of charge capacity the battery ever could achieve and it would quickly deteriorate from that point.
@dada papi he explained it to people that are not as familiar with this battery Teck. And also explains how you phone battery can get destroyed by someone else.
I left the keys in the ignition and my girlfriend drained the battery by playing the radio without running the engine.

@@reypolice5231 Yup, infinite are the waters of knowledge for those who wish to drink. You'll have just as much trouble making (someone with the mentality of) a horse drink as you would normal water though.
@@OmnifyMyAss I hope you are not actually discharge your Li-ion cells to 1.7 or 2 volts. Below 2.5V is already guaranteed cell damage. ;-)
I've wondered for years if this idea was viable so thanks for answering that. I learnt a bunch of things on the journey. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant vids! Very very informative, easy to understand and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you man, you deserve 10x the amount of subscribers
Love your channel, you have a real knack for keeping engineering concepts interesting and speaking laymans terms. I subscribed immediately after watching part #1 and look forward to more from you.
Oh, man. I'm so stoked to see this published! I've been waiting for this.
Really good content. As a graduate with a BS in industrial technology it brings back memory’s of my best years. 20+ years of not doing anything but management I really miss the smell of cutting oil. Miss the joy of making things and solving problems. Thank you!!!
I just stumbled on your channel this morning and your content is great! I hope to see more and for your good health
I've never seen someone more excited about charging their phone 1%
That is a lie. You did when you watched the video.
@@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489 Haha
The best channel on CZcams!
I was waiting for the #4
Omg I never have been more amazed and enticed to continue to watch and something that is very educational. Although it’s very simple idea, the complexity throughout is amazing. Liked and subscribed and nice to have some engineering stuff in my day. Thanks!
Nice to see someone dorking out as much as I do. My son and I made 2 windmills last winter was really fun. He's 4yo and think he learned a lot💕
CZcams did me right with this recommendation lol
I love how much work you put in on such a pointless project.
Nothing is pointless which educates and interests
The project is one thing, the joy and satisfaction is another
Learning if something can work or not work sometimes takes trying it anyway. Knowing then if it works or not expands our general awareness.
Thumbs up for the enthusiasms. Watched the whole series just now. :D
BRO THAT WAS GOOD SCIENCE RIGHT THERE, OH GOD CAN IT GET BETTER? CONGRATULATIONS PLS NEVER STOP DOING IT
Guy: Does a science.
Algorithm: UP you go sir!
Wow, I'm not even sure how I got here, but I ended up watching the entire series... Anyway, I always wondered whether it was feasible to use hydropower at home, and now I know the answer! I was banking on using wind power and would be curious to see how your system would convert to that. Also, less damage to your foundations. Good job! and all for SCIENCE!
man your videos are amazing, i am very happy watching. Your handwork and expression are flawless. I wish my teachers in electronics class were people like you :)
Awesome man - keep it up... we need people like you and so good you involve your son - this is how real dads teach... You are so easy to watch and break stuff down for easy understanding :)
This is very impressive, I live in Scotland, uk and we get a lot of rain so would love something like this for my house!
This is the coolest trickle charger I've ever seen!
I wouldn't call that a trickle.
I see what you did there!
Enjoyed the whole series....excellent....learnt a lot...... appreciated. Person like you have potential to give vision and motivation to next generation for creating better innovations.
I really really enjoyed watching these videos. So much fun to learn from these. You have incredible skills.
You sir were able to explain this so well! I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to giving it a shot!
Another suggestions for improvement... what about making a laminar flow nozzle to minimize the turbulence as combined with a (as suggested before) vertical nozzle
Yes, need to try laminar. Let me know how it goes!
I would love to see the other ideas given a true try, and if this could ever be practical from a cost to generation of power standpoint
As a prospective engineer these videos make me so inspired to design and create all things that make me say "You know what we could do is..." Thank you so much for your simple explanations and your awesome content!
i have been hooked on, your progress of water-powered charger! Thank you for the upload :DD
Yeet you just literally got 50k subs in less than 3 days

@@QuintBUILDs I am now going down a rabbit hole of hydroelectric power, wiers and turbines and dams, oh my!
Best channel I've found during the Lockdown!! Thanks a bunch
Thank you very much for all this effort, it is a crucial subject, and exploring possibilities makes us very inspired. Please continue for good! Awesome content.
I think you originally made a miscalculation when sizing your roof, instead of calculating the total surface area you should calculate surface area NORMAL to the ground otherwise you are relying on 45deg rain (or whatever the pitch of the roof is) to get the potential energy you are expecting. This might also mean your generator is oversized
also, the roof is tiled/shingled, so it's actually a hundred little rooves draining into each other
nil0bject I don’t know whether to laugh or be confused.
He did calculate that in part one.
He did: czcams.com/video/S6oNxckjEiE/video.html
Oh so he did, I missed it because he breezed over the maths he used to get there. Or maybe I was distracted by the pronunciation of “ruf”
imagine this on a 20 (or more) storey building, all that extra height would make so much more water pressure meaning less water vs increased output....could possibly provide emergency lighting power for hours with not too big a holding tank
don't just have to use rain either, there is so much waste water flowing hundreds of meters(~3ft per meter) vertically. There could be some energy there
@@Blafaselblubb For sure, but theres so complications when youre adding solid waste, even just from a kitchen sink not to mention a toilet.
@@secretnewmeta1981 ever heard of a filter?
@@smarthomede1843 reread my message. I said solid waste brings complications. Complications are things like complex filters to remove solid waste while allowing the gray water to remain. Additional complication would be materials that could withstand the wear and tear of non-neutral ph water.
Absolutely loved this short set of videos on the water turbine. Loved the little subtle edits too "we're NSA, etc..". You got a new sub, thanks :)
Dont give up! I learned alot from you. The videos youre making isnt even dedicated to explaining science topics but actually building applications of those topics. And ive learned more about it. Dont give up sir! I cant wait how you solve your watt-gutter problem.
Thx! Part of me wants to just build stuff and part wants to do pure science content but the combo seems to resonate with people so I'll keep going! 👍
12:00 we're from the NSA get it straight lol
i would love to see your take on a river version of hydro power.
You mean like a dam?
Just watched all four videos and it was top notch. I just subscribed and hit all notifications, I think I just stumbled on an epic channel.
These are amazing videos! You are a blessing to the science industry. I’m so glad I came across this. I subscribed and and a big thanks for all you do to educate us. Be well and stay safe!
Wow, I feel unworthy of your praise!
This phone has a power input on the back under the rear cover, if I remember correctly its used for a wireless charging add on you can still buy them on ebay
Look for on ebay for item number 123138437371 that will give you a better idea of what i mean about the second power input
Oh, that would be fantastic! And interesting to check the stats when charging.
Quint BUILDs , oh and btw, thanks for the video its very well explained, 😀
I laughed so hard at the hail "ow"s
Yass. I knew it would come to this in the intro of the first video when you were laying out the flow rates.
This is the content that keeps a man engaged.
Man. As a marine engineer that has to take on interns, i binge watched this. You explain electrical theory very well. Its funny, i was saying “nozzle!!!” Out loud several times! I will DEFF use some of your examples into my teachings. Thank you for these videos!
That's so awesome!
"might be spying on you too" 😆
Finally❤️
you're a fantastic dude ! I've been like a child discovering how life is working. I've been through a lot of "scientific" videos saying that it is useless to use rainpower. BUT YOU, you made it and even if this is not THAT powerfull, it is. Love the challenge, love the way you do it, this is engeneering ! THANK YOU!
Right on, thanks man!
Awesome videos, especially liked the manufacturing of parts a lot!
18:54 He finally said it correctly, gents!
Id love to see a MPPT charge controller intended for a solar panel instead of a standard buck converter
same idea here ;-)
in terms of price, they are only worth it in the long future. Pwm/ buck converter are better in this aplications because they are fairly inexpensive and he is producing less than 1W in his sistem so maybe he will get 25% more efficiency but that is crazy small gains of power. Spending so much money in a mppt charge controller to obtain 0.25 W more power is worthless. If he intends to somehow upgrade the setup he could give it a though but at this stage there is no point other than learning/ experiencing with it
Hugo, if it all was a matter of price, not even a 3d printed turbine was worth it... 😂
Orso Grigio That’s is why I said it was worth it if the purpose of an MPPT purchase is learning/ experiencing with it, but not from a economical point of view
Amazing..... very impressed by the effort.... offcourse extremely well equipped. Shows the humble ways science work.
Most impressive video I've seen that showcases finding and engineering solutions as you 're working through a simple problem. And boy did you ever! Love the fact that you take a simple goal and then proceed to apply a whole host of disciplines to conquer the problem. Potential and kinetic energy, fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, circuits, material science, manufacturing - wow. Just wow. Where were you when I was a teen? I loved physics but didn't have anyone to show me how to apply it.
Thanks man. Really appreciate all that. Trying to create the content we all wish we'd had as teens.
🇦🇺hi mate: I thought 💭 it might be a good idea: instead if letting your gutters fill up with water 💧 witch can run back into your house if something goes wrong.
Have a down pipe from your gutter run into a water tight Box with a slant on the top with some mesh on it so only the water gets throw and level will just roll off . Also you can put an Overflow hole in it: in case something goes wrong.
Then you can set it up with your Flout and bits and pieces in the box and not have to worry about it doing any damage to your home 🏠
The only time you will have to check it: is if the water is coming out of the Overflow hole.
I like the way you you think 🤔 mate keep them coming.
Problem with this - assuming the water is collecting at a lower point than the roof, you are loosing potential energy with your buffer....
Dale Atkin
You can also cut a section out for the gutter a couple of inches smaller than the box: then cut the sides out of the box at the top: so the gutter can go into the side of the box.
Then you can screw the box directly to the fascia.
I would still make sure you have a overflow hole on it just in case.
The box is call a (Rainhead) if you want to look the up. At least that what we call them in Australia 🇦🇺.
The others good thing about having a Rainhead: is you want loose water down the other pipes on your house when it fills up.
Hopefully this is helpful.✌️out brother
Ever since high-school physics, having lived near Seattle, I always had the question of "Can you generate electricity with your rain gutter?"
This has been a fascinating video series, and I'm only left with one question: Can you hook up multiple wheels consecutively down a pipe and generate anywhere near the same power?
Unfortunately not, as it's the pressure in the downpipe when filled that makes the water shoot out of the bottom and spin the turbine. So putting it further up so you can add multiple would not work.
Very educational. Please continue creating quality content. More power!
That's awsome...with these videos the basic physics or science concepts are explained very well...absolutely ideal way of learning...👍👌
