Most of the hydropower systems used by homeowners and small business owners including farmers and ranchers would qualify as microhydropower. Install these micro generators in the water supply lines to every home everywhere. The downspout shielded the stream of water from wind and directed it to a turbine at the ground level. It doesn t rain that much the best you could do with the power is.

In the rainiest months the generator was expected to only output 0 6 watt hours per day and in the driest months less than 0 12. The turbine was connected through a gear train to a dc motor serving as the generator.

Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts of electricity. We have been inspired to create a device that will create electricity cleanly and support areas in which other alternative sources may not be as applicable. Our device uses water pressure from gutter downspouts to generate electricity during heavy rainfall and storms where solar panels will not be as effective.

Hi this is my first instructable this is a downspout generator to convert all that energy being wasted this should generate about 1 watt in a continuous rainalso i am entering this in prepare for the apocalypse so vote. The system prototyped consisted of a gutter assembly that collected and funneled water from the roof to a downspout. Generate more energy and b.

A lot of people wonder if there s any power in the rain falling on our roofs. For less than 50 you can build a low head medium power super low cost and low tech hydro turbine. Can be plugged into any appropriate waterway uses only.
