    Try loosening the belt a bit, might help, also it doesn't have to be that tight, just enough for tooth's not to skip

    Dude, you rule! So glad the algorithm introduced me to you this evening! Sub'd 🤘

      Glad to know youtube supports what I'm doing. Thanks for the sub and comment

    Maybe the water pressure varies throughout the day? That will affect your measurements quite a bit. Most city water is around 80-100 psi, but well pumps are usually much lower.

      I agree with this, tho my testing has been done at almost the same time every time.

      @@Beyond_The_Tint maybe add a cheap pressure gauge to the inlet. BTW, what practical use are you after with this device?

    • @Beyond_The_Tint
      @Beyond_The_Tint  Год назад +1

      More than likely use a more practical motor. Then find a location to test/use at long term. I'm sure the water would erode the plastic rather quickly. Aluminum would likely be needed long term for at least the buckets, along with a metal nozzle.

      @@Beyond_The_Tint the most durable material I have worked with for abrasion is nylon. You can 3D print nylon. But I bet the plastic you are using now will last a really long time.

      I've been recommended this for other parts as well. I'll give it a try thanks for all the advice I'll incorporate it into the next build.

    What water pressure or hight from the reservoir?
    Try to lift the gear closer to the side support bearing. I saw the tension is hard on the belt.

      I'm not sure pressure because it's connected to a garden for now

    Thats some nice progress. You need more volume on this video! Also stop using electronics i wet conditions! Maybe the device has even given wrong values because of the water!!! With a mppt you would get even more wattage i guess. You should also read pressure and flow rate, to compare those values more reliable, if those may fluctuate a lot.

    • @Beyond_The_Tint
      @Beyond_The_Tint  Год назад +1

      I will try and remember to measure these for the next test. I also will try the mppt and see if this makes a difference on power output.

  • @CharlieSolis

    Hey I love the video and the tests. But to be clear are you sure you have the exact same pressure coming from your faucet during each test? The water pressure and flow rates will change throughout the day and provide minor differences in power available.
    And i just mean between the differences in the new blades and the new blades smoothed not the change from your first blades.
    Just a thought, keep in keepin on! Thanks again for the cool video.

    • @Beyond_The_Tint
      @Beyond_The_Tint  Год назад +1

      I changed the blades and tested right after. The smoothed blades really seem to make the difference. When I tested off camera with just a bucket under the faucet there was a very noticeable difference between the two.

    I am thinking of building a Tesla hydro turbines, we have a creek running near our house. I wonder how well it would do compared to yours, only one way to find out, I will build it!

    Is there a way to properly measure how much energy is in the water you are using? Is would be a good way to tell how efficient your setup is.

    • @manekou3303
      @manekou3303 Год назад

      Also some way of measuring the torque and speed requirements on the motor you're using would probably come in handy if you decide to adjust the gear ratio.

    • @Beyond_The_Tint

      I'll figure out a way to test this
