This was a working Pelton hydroelectric generator for cell phones (2.5 V peak) by rotating an HP laserjet three phase stepper motor.
Below is a new design of the hydroelectric pipe generator that I am presently working on. It will be a reaction (not an impulse) driven generator.
Status: All parts have been obtained, and construction will commence on May 9 and finish by May 15.
Current Test Results: Hand turning: 2.5 V with 0.200A with Load: 3 V 0.98A rotor Water Actuation: 1.9 V with 0.014A with Load:2 LEDs in parallel in series with a 100 ohm resistor Successfully lights up LEDs and easily provides power to other motors. It may need a better rotor, such as an Archimedies Screw.
