As Architecture Engineer for myself, this project is very INSANE !! This project explains in every detail, that... calculation is nothing if you can`t think logic. I bet fresh graduate engineer from University can`t even make this kind of project 😅
My dad showed me how to make a simple battery operated light via a switch through some old car parts and a 12V battery when I was 11. I imagine this is using induction motors that the spin (gyro) perpetuated by water to move the pole in the inductor to generate whatever voltage you desire (generated by the RPM created by the passing water). Of course the RPM is based on the pressure of the water/speed it presses against those plastic fins he made to generate the RPM needed to create AC and using the motor to feed electricity to appliances connected to it. Using more pressure and a bigger motor is how most hydro electric dams work, I imagine. I think in the world, this very old, sophisticated idea, isn't so sophisticated anymore. Not downplaying the work done here, everything is easier said than done, and most kids can't get off their cellphones nowadays.
@lmotaku RPM would be based on flow. Power is based on pressure, torque created by momentum of the flywheel effect, and size of the turbine to rotate the rotor. Pressure does allow more flow across a smaller turbine. RPM is controlled by "wicket" gate position.
@@martinkennard1669 Are you saying pressure of the flowing water doesn't increase the RPMs or am I missing something? I think that we are saying the same thing, but differently. Thanks for the perspective.
@@lmotaku Pressure and velocity are not the same thing and ya'll obviously don't understand which is which. Pressures and velocity are inversely proportional in fluids and gases. The water has pressure when standing still and velocity when moving. The more of one you have the less of the other you have. This is the basis of a venturi or convergent/divergent duct. Very few people use these terms correctly.
The problem is you're not using any of the pressure created by the dam. This would work on a stream. If you put the impellers at the bottom of your drainpipe and closed off all of the upper areas - pressure would build to probably five times what you are using here. You must use the pressure, my friend. Trap the pressure and watch what happens!
Модель классная! Для ГЭС на даче смотрится круто! На 2 турбине наблюдаются гидротурбуленция сильнее чем на 1. Возможно из-за неравномерного потока воды, который не идёт по полной ширине жёлоба. Также возможно лопасти турбины должны быть изогнутыми, а не прямыми. Зазор между стенками и турбиной должен быть как можно меньше. Резервуар с водой возможно должен быть больше для увеличения давления воды в желобах. Но модель очень крутая!
Mantap saudaraku....salam dari ujung timur pulau jawa, dari kota Banyuwangi...Good job...very nice...excelent ...I like this....❤super like....congratulations ...good luck my brother.....semoga selalu sehat dan sukses....amazing....mantap
Pure Genius! Like my Father had an absolute EYE for precision in the natural world. Beautiful Work SIR! Now That is a Science Project!! First Place. Winner
Я в Сибири живу,в Усть-Илимске,на реке Ангара,у нас похожая плотина ГЭС,но только настоящая,гигантское сооружение.Самое дешёвое электричество в мире,и всё такое.Но чтоб вот так,в ручье,сам себе плотину сделать.Ты гений парень!!!Давление создай ещё в каналах на турбины,закрой их от герметично,нагрузка на лопасти генератора увеличится,и всё,провода можно смело на дом подводить и жить в своё удовольствие.Подписываюсь однозначно на тебя.
"We're not sure how the ancients accomplished such massive wonders in the time of Emperor Hoover I, but we think this model shares some of the basic working principles."
Thank you for the video. Awesome scale model-build. You could save/capture more energy if the channel-tube behind the dam is closed(now its open on top). Transparent plastic in the build could add visible-insights of your scale model and preserve the pressure from the dam itself.
I think maybe it's a way to clear silt build up, he could just pull the pipe out of the elbow cemented into the base of the dam and the silt will be forced out of reservoir by pressure. Most modern day dams have this in their design. The way he's done it means there's no need for a powered gate valve inside the dam which would be the norm in todays full sized version. It's not hampering the function or operation of power supply at all here.
The dogs are clearly the upper management and the brains behind this dam project. See them either laying around acting likely the are helping or wandering around inspecting the area and giving input that is totally not needed. THANKFULLY they didn't decide to come up with design changes after 90% of the dam was already built lol. (Joking mood)
That is bloody brilliant , well done mate . Be interesting to know the voltage / current produced , but it does just go to show how easy such a project is . Your four legged friend , didn't want to go to far either !
@@ethericboy Probably not a great deal seeing he's using stepper motors (probably 12v), not very efficient turbines, low gauge wire, those led's won't need more than 1/4 watt each. Chances are it won't power much more than led's.
I guarantee you, this guy was NOT playing on his computer, or video games or on a cellphone when he was a kid going to school.. This is why Asians tend to be smarter than most others... and that is not a racist comment, this is a respect for education and discipline.
Can this dam generate any real amount of power? Let’s say it can. Let’s say this makes enough power to charge a phone. Okay, what’s stopping me from taking these instructions and scaling them up a little all in my backyard? It shouldn’t be impossible to power at least a couple computers. You clearly know your way around this technology. Am I crazy?
There's a lot of variables for getting what you're after, the design of the turbines, how far the water falls (more altitude means more energy) and so on and so on. The math alone is a fun project and that's before even starting the design.
Dog is watching his / her Dad while digging a hole ...... Thinking about the last time he yelled at him / her for digging in the yard . Also..... Geee Thanks Now I can power my outdoor train 🚂🚅 layout .
A great hobby. Some people build model railroads. I'm impressed. I spent 36 years working on hydopower turbines and gates. I did design on 3 new powerplants and helped maintain turbines and gates on another 6. I enjoyed the video.
Another very nice creation. The bigger dog though....he's like "come on dad lets go back to the house I'm tired of being in the dirt" and dad is like "Then go...I'm busy!" The dog...."but I want to be close to you dad and you spend all day out here" Dad says..."I know you're actually in my way!" LOL. Nice dog though. But as I watch these dam projects I always wonder how the water gets from the lower pond/lake to the higher reservoir. If it is being pumped in then you are using a lot more electricity then the dam generates. It would just be so cool to have one of these dams actually generating power. Unless you have a pressurized water source that is free.
10:56 Have you ever thought about connecting additional power storage for that power plant. You know each wire has specific resistance that consumes power from the plant.
see how they set up the penstock here, they use all the waters PRESSURE at its maximum, not the reduction ring to increase velocity.. very good design you should get about 30 PSI at 3 ft deep water
Not quite like this but as a child i used to love digging up and making litte rivers with Dams then putting the hose on one side and seeing when it would collapse thus flooding my toy cars and little green solders lol. im 30 so when i was a kid Internet, Video games were not as widely accessible
Im not sure if this is for scientific purposes but lifetime of this will be very short... You should use definitelly deeper base constructions in the ground, barrier itself should be concrete with at least some armature across (both horizontally and vertically into the ground constructions). Im not sure how with generators - maybe there would be better efficiency with generators directly under the dam itself as you are losing some (maybe lot) energy in the canals. Definitelly there is a space for redisign generator part - you should put your generators lower and closer to the overflow. as far as i know generators should be at the bottom all of this as you are mostly using hydraulic pressure created by elevation difference Otherwise i must say its great concept with huge potential. Hope it will works well....
Great! Now the ants have electricity they can heat their nest. Next project is mini oil pumpjack, and mini space port. So the ants can win space race against the Soviet Antlion.
Oh wow..and my country Haiti is still struggling to have a stable electricity..if only my people could learn something from that or somebody could help achieving it in a bigger scale 🙏
Someone should tell this guy people don't do things like this any more they instead spend their spare time looking at their phones trying to see what their friends are eating for dinner or some other BS. Really amazing!!!
Saw your channel for the first time today - only one video is enough for me to subscribe. Great great work ! What power do the generators create and is there a connection to use this power? Lots of love from germany.
If the spillways are open at the top of the dam. Eventually silt will build up in the "lake" and make the lake shallow. Which, will reduce the amount of water that can be stored and the pressure of that water to flow over the dam. Better to make the opening in the lower half of the dam. Then the flow of water keeps the bottom of the lake open like a channel.
👍 What did you do to generator on the left? It's twice as fast as the right one. Would still like to see a wiring diagram and parts list. Please add them to your next uploads. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇬🇧
That's a Slick Idea! I've always wanted to buy a place with a small river close enough that I could "tap into it" and make a small stream to a big coy fish pond; and the run off would go back around and dump back into the source river. Adding in a hydro-electric dam w/turbines that could power a small 1.5 kw 3 kw generator that WAS powered by a gas engine, That way it could power a battery charger to keep a big bank of batteries to power a power inverter to feed into the house. May not power the whole house, but enough stuff that if the city-wide power goes out I won't be totally in the dark.
My dude is really out here building hoover dam in his backyard for fun, you changin the hobby game up, wood turners can't compete, the hydraulic press channels are losing their minds, even that guy that runs over stuff with his car is looking at this like "I can't run this over in a video!"
Good job, but kinda wimpy on the power output. If you're dropping 0.5Kg of water per second a distance of 0.5 meters, that is at best only 25 watts. Enough to light some led christmas lights but not much more. Looks like you could have massaged it to get a bit more vertical drop.
