Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts of electricity.
A lot of people wonder if there s any power in the rain falling on our roofs.
The system prototyped consisted of a gutter assembly that collected and funneled water from the roof to a downspout.

The turbine was connected through a gear train to a dc motor serving as the generator.

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.
For less than 50 you can build a low head medium power super low cost and low tech hydro turbine.
This video series starts with the theory of how much power is available then at.
The downspout shielded the stream of water from wind and directed it to a turbine at the ground level.
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.
Our device uses water pressure from gutter downspouts to generate electricity during heavy rainfall and storms where solar panels will not be as effective.
In a rain gutter you don t have that push you could create it by storing water on the roof but the main problem is simple.
It doesn t rain that much the best you could do with the power is.
Install these micro generators in the water supply lines to every home everywhere.

The generator s output was around 1 3 watts of electricity less than 1 3rd of the predicted amount.
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.
