There mu...Man all those numbers give me a headache! There must be a more simple way to do it...people have been using hydro power for a long time and in backwoods areas where t they probably didnt know how to do simple math. But I understand what it is getting at.<br />The Renewable Energy Handbook (by William Kemp) has a good section in it about hydro power. Pretty simplified too. Good for my kind of brain. They tell about a "zero head turbine" you can get that can go right into a "fast moving stream" (www.jackrabbitmarine.com). There has to be a way to make this work with all that lovely water you have workin' for ya.MaryJanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-14476774664637864022010-11-23T11:15:23.763-05:002010-11-23T11:15:23.763-05:00Bob is muttering volume, velocity and pressure...a...Bob is muttering volume, velocity and pressure...and said he will sit down in a bit, after he finishes making his creme bisquits. <br />He seemed to agree with TebbeK at first, but then I explained that you had a mountain behind you. <br />I have NO CLUE! <br />So, hope you get a good answer...he will ponder this as we have been considering the same for our property. <br />It is always a slow ponder here.<br />Do you want me to post on my wall, lots of teachers and math heads there...oh, I will anyway...they will have fun with this, if they read it.Wild Canaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067757727466657476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-50209945334279386112010-11-23T11:00:57.130-05:002010-11-23T11:00:57.130-05:00Hey Grant...
Thanks. I think that sounds good.
b...Hey Grant...<br />Thanks. I think that sounds good. <br /><br />but...<br /><br />Mr TebbeK -<br />SOunds not too good?<br />I did do it with a bucket first, I held a 5 gallon bucket up to the flow from the pipe, it would fill the first gallon or 2 in 8 seconds (looked liked nearly half the bucket but then i'd drop it because of the weight and angle I had to hold it at.)<br />I will re-do and rig something where all the water goes only in the bucket... let me look around the cabin for some metal to catch it!<br />BTW- is the "drop" only the waterfall part, or the whole creek dropping down the mountain slowly?<br />...<br />The pond is close to the bottom of the property, the last 3/4 an acre. Almost 7 acres behind that... that i own.Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-46439397783591780352010-11-23T10:47:01.192-05:002010-11-23T10:47:01.192-05:00I REALLY appreciate the photos and your formulaic ...I REALLY appreciate the photos and your formulaic approach. Try to find a wide open bucket your water bottle is a little to small to truly capture the water. as for the drop We need a whole lot more than a meter to make anything go. Is the little pond fall at the top of the property or the bottom? This is fun,but I am still coming out there to see for my self.TebbeKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525315415893071153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-269996432346603252010-11-23T10:20:18.761-05:002010-11-23T10:20:18.761-05:00(skip this part if you want)
I called the drop a m...(skip this part if you want)<br />I called the drop a meter and the efficiency .8, which hopefully is a reasonable figure... given those numbers, you have P = 1000kg/m^3 * 1m * 1/2112m^3/s * 9.8m/s^2 * .8 * 3600 hr/s<br /><br />That works out to 13 kW per hour. in a month, then, you could generate 720 times that, or 9360 kW, plenty.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271334867547892829noreply@blogger.com
