Free Power for 16 years from a modified Washing Machine / Water Wheel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- I've been living off grid for the past 16 years, I make my own electricity using an old washing machine I found at the dump.
I rewired the smart-drive washing machine motor to generate electricity, the generator is rotated via a water driven Pelton Wheel ( Hydro Turbine ).
Water goes into the intake, creates pressure due to the difference in height between intake and outlet nozzle. Water comes out of the nozzle at 60psi and spins the pelton wheel which is attached to the modified washing machine motor (now a generator).
The generator puts out 3 phase ac voltage which is passed through a 3 phase diode block rectifier to change it into dc, it is then fed directly into a 24v battery bank, a 24 - 240vac inverter is connected to the battery bank, 240vac travels up the power lines to my house. I can now power all my 240vac household appliances from the inverter
It makes enough power to heat my water and run all the appliances in my energy efficient house as well as most of the tools in my shed.
Occasionally I have issues with it and need to go down to the stream to problem solve, a small price to pay to avoid paying a power bill.

While everyone else would look for a big waterfall, Marty sticks a pipe in a tiny little creek and powers his entire home. Much respect.
Guess you could run a city on a good fall
@slydog4949
Batteries would make up the difference in production and demand. 14kw a day is pretty damn good.
Your looking for pressure in a system like this, not volume! Great little system congrats.
@@wiggitywhitefox ever hear of a place called Niagara falls? Same idea bigger scale
slydog4949 You obviously know nothing about off-grid living or how electricity works!
Plot twist: This guy's plane went down 16 years ago and instead of calling for help he decided to just chill.
Lol right. Broke out the societal matrix by mistake.
Let me guess: The plane was hit by an airborne washing machine.
He didnt find RUclips, RUclips found him.
Plot twist twist: the guy filming this perished many years ago, Marty T is a sudoname for a RUclips channel that's just profiting off the found footage of an engineer servicing in the wild like that film Martian, later to be discovered by Holiwood and moneytised further.
1 question. How did he get the internet? INCEPTION SOUNDTRACK PLAYS.......
This is the type of person and people this world needs. Never relies on the government or wasteful cost for energy. Brilliant !
He should be a teacher, these are the things that we need to have our kids leaning. 🇺🇸❗❗
@@zenastrang4442 no, you learn the theory (eg ohm's law, gravitational potential energy etc) , and then apply it as necessary...that is what this guy has done.
Learning is supposed to be about _how_ to think, not _what_ to think.
@@njones420 That's only one way to do things. It's fine, but there are others that work better for some/most people
@@troyesivan4416 That doesn't make sense...
explain how you would teach people to make electricity, without understanding the fundamental basics of electricity?
Here we have laws against such things lol. We cant even use solar panels 🤦♂️
The fact that this guy is probably powering his washing machine with another washing machine is quite meta.
That is impossible lol.
@@massinakmin8340 No it's not?
@@DEATHTRUTH A washing machine needs at least 1000 watts of power to run. So you need 3 generators (washingmachines) with this setup to power 1 washingmachine.
@@massinakmin8340 The batteries allow those kind of loads temporarily.
@@DEATHTRUTH Yes, that will make it possible.
My relatives were generating their own power 40yrs ago - running a full dairy farm totally off grid here in NZ; and my sister had a generator made from an old air con unit sited under a waterfall on her farm in the Kaimai ranges 30 years ago. Good old Kiwi number 8 wire garden shed technology. So when people tell me off grid is a myth in this age of technology advancement- I tell them they have no idea what they are talking about.
Wut?! There was power 40 yrs ago...? Did they invent it?
And there are so many ways to optimize these kinds of systems to use less actual electricity consumption (whether on grid or off). Besides the usual wood stove, if you get sun in yard/property, you can make Solar heat collectors (either air or water) pretty easy. The air ones are super easy.
You can do cooling with passive, Solar regenerated Evap/phase change systems using a blend of water and methanol. At night, you can radiate heat energy out of tanks of water into the sky, etc, etc all without expensive Solar panels, batteries, etc though you do need some energy for pumps and/or fans for some of these systems.
Justin do you know how to make everything work, got a scheme ?
It's not a myth, just not for the faint of heart.
It's also not dependable.
Droughts do happen - freezing water does happen.
Either of those will render small hydro power heavily reduced or useless.
@@mnomadvfx that more or less depends on your location when it comes to droughts or freezing, working for 16 years is pretty damn dependable imo
That thing has spent more of its time on Earth generating electricity than washing clothes.

A detailed run through of the build would be pretty awesome.
He's got em
Marty has another channel called Angry Ram that has a few videos on how to do this,
I’m amazed at how reliable these are. I worked at a company that serviced around 10 “small” commercial plants and there was always some little thing to deal with. That being said though a lot of our equipment was from the 1940s-50s. It’s amazing how long those machines last, most of our failures would be smaller components. Hydropower remarkable stuff.
By “small” I mean most of our units are under 250 kWh. Our intake pipes are big enough to walk around in if that gives you an idea of the difference between commercial vs home setups like this. Most of the hydro in the U.S. northeast is smaller setups like that, the big stuff is mostly up in Canada like hydro Quebec or out West.
In Norway the electrical grid is 95% hydro. All the excess energy that we are unable to store is exported to Europe. Whenever it is to cold for the powerplants to run we rely on import.
I consider myself a pretty smart guy and then I remember people like this exist.
You are pretty yes pretty
Right...
Necessity is the father of invention
It's pretty simple.
Minus his pressure induction with the reducer.
I would of never thought of that
@@heliarc5186 k
“It beats paying for power anyway.” The understatement of the day.
Sure if only 3 people would build this thing near his shit, the creek would be empty most of the time.
He can only do this because others dont.
300m pipes? 400m wires? At least a line of 700m He is using just for himself. While others live on 50 square meters and share the other streets and places with many people. Like we as humans havent took enough land from animals and mother nature, better exploit the rest of it as personal money saving method.
@@Hans69Wurst Isnt there any whales left to save?
@@Hans69Wurst chill
@@Hans69Wurst "Sure if only 3 people would build this thing near his shit, the creek would be empty most of the time."
So the water just disappears into his generator never to be seen again? You are pathetically ignorant. The water from the creek/river goes right back into it to be used by anyone else.
"300m pipes? 400m wires? At least a line of 700m He is using just for himself. "
I bet you are taking the items you are finding on sale somewhere and providing everyone in your entire neighborhood and city with complete access to them? The local children, homeless, and elderly all have complete access to your computer 24/7? Oh right, you aren't. You are an accusing trash hypocrite demanding things from others that you never would do yourself.
@@Hans69Wurst How dumb do you have to be to make a comment like this... I mean speaking strictly from an ecological standpoint, this was a massive step forward not backwards. This guys is producing enough energy for himself with a 98% safe method and a 100% 'clean' method. All the water he's using is being returned to the stream, no petroleum was burned to produce energy, no fracking, no drilling, no major damming or water redirection or continual retention. As long as the wires are properly wrapped, there is no damage done to the the ecology of the area.
Brilliant!!! I love seeing people like this who can take someone else's trash, and turn it into something else.
Yes, he spent a little time, money, and effort to put it all together, but it's paid for itself MANY times over.
Genius!
BRO YOURE THE MAN SALUTE MY BROTHER AND FELLOW COUNTRYMAN GOD DEFEND OUR FREELAND✌️❤️🇳🇿💪
This has got to be one of a handful of off grid videos that has been able to back up their claims and prove concepts. Well done!
Yes, he does his homework and gets things done well. In the US, we still have nincompoops trying to prove that an amplidyne is a "perpetual.motion machine." Of course, you can't tell THEM that it is not, else you'd be branded a communist or something.
He has proved nothing, this is a video that shows a water feature and he claims it makes 480W, rrrright!
what do u mean back up their claims? this is just a cheaper version of hydro electric dams.
@@Drenov what makes you think it couldn't achieve the output he claims?
@@TD-wi1zh A vacuum cleaner uses about 5 amps at 120 volts. 5 amps at 24 volts is about one fifth the power. That turbine sounded about half the speed of a vacuum cleaner so I think the output is feasible.
All I ever want in life is a piece of property like this
so do I...
Jej, took me my whole life, but I have a small piece of land 5 acres much like this, on the side of a mountain, valley below & other mountains across the way. It is beautiful but it takes getting used to. Lotta wild animals & it feels like you're in a zoo with no cages 0.0
Good luck. I've been looking for 20 years. Getting property like this, that you can actually afford in America is like winning the lottery.
You can do it.
He's living the life. Freedom from the Man and society
One thing that 2020 has taught me, THIS GUY HAS THE RIGHT IDEA .
Casually pausing the mission to explain about the Matai was great.
Imagine this is the type of stuff was practically taught in school
Exactly, they teach stuff that's not relevant rather than domestic skills.
Actually generators are taught in every physics class, but most of us tend to ignore science classes.
Most 16 year olds (me included) wouldn't pay attention to this
The basic concepts behind this design are taught in every school.
They teach about magnetic fields, it's up to you to really learn it or just pass the exam by the skin of your teeth.
This man has figured out life.. Bringing power to a place off the grid without a generator is pure genius !!! Can't wait to see more on this gem of a channel !!! Thank you for sharing this amazing tech.... God Bless 🙏
I don't need a page from your book l need the whole book bro...GREAT JOB..
Marty,
I can see why you live where you do. What beautiful country.
I have been watching your channel for some time and enjoy your content. You are a talented man. Boe 👍
I also made a system very similar to this. I hope to get longer bearing life by washing the grease out of the new bearings and repacking with the best synthetic grease I can find. I fitted a slinger on the shaft to throw the water off before it gets to the seal which hopefully helps. My wife is a potter and made long tapered ceramic jets that don't wear out and work well. My system runs at 60 volts (48 volt battery system) and is otherwise much the same; same advantages, same few problems! Cheers!
Do you sell it (the extra power)? that's what i would do, clean energy. 0.27 cents per Khw so 0.9*0.27*24*30 = 174.96 euros a month
How has your hydro system worked out for you?
Are those ceramic jets still working well?
Have you tried ceramic turbine bearings?

I guess your mates never heard about John Britten then.

Plenty of Kiwis punch above their weight over the decades in engineering etc, just like Australians. Necessity/isolation is the mother of invention. Same reason why a lot of outback farmers etc are the same.
@@basstard13 Or Bob Semple
You are a good aussie, us kiwis don't normally say that 😁
Never thought of this as a mech engineer to use an intake upstream and accelerate the little water downstream by reducing friction losses using pipes.
Thanks for your upload. My mind has opened.
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq I'm a little confused - first you say it has nothing to do with the friction of the stream bed, and then you say that every rock the water bounces over on its way down dissipates the energy. Don't those two basically add up to the same thing?
Watched this video a few times over the years. I just love the idea of going to a scrap yard, grabbing some parts and making a hydro-electric generator out of it. If I'm ever fortunate enough to afford my own land I would look to do something similar. You wouldn't even mind doing the maintence on the equipment because of the savings and the freedom it gives you especially with the cost of energy these days.
See the series of 4 Marty T vids showing the build from scratch of another system for a friend nearby...
Off grid living is very enviable and looked at very favourably. In fact it is not everybody's cup of tea. It is a very tough life and needs a lot of discipline and strong will power. Salute to you Marty👍
This lad has been fixing old field ornaments in a calm, mellow way ever since I've started watching the channel, and now he decides to drop a micro hydro project which has been operating for longer than any I've seen on RUclips?
I'd double-subscribe if I could.
THIS!
Hahaha
Theres a lot of this sort of power generation out there but we usually dont say much about it.
In the old days those type of motors where hard to come by and I got mine from old tech Mainframe computer systems and used UPS backup batteries from Telco sites when they are decommissioned, huge heavy lead acid units in 2 to 6 volts per battery in the old days.
Then as tech infiltrated home appliances you couldnt sneeze without tripping over an LG or Hitachi direct drive washer, AGM batteries and better became cheaper as did Inverters and even solar panels and charge regs etc
Water is the best and probably only true sustainable small scale power generation and with a good weight gravity feed does exactly what Marty's system does with minimal fuss and bother.
@@tony66au interesting. I was under the impression that solar can be viable these days. Perhaps it depends where you live?
@@tony66au What minimum vertical fall and water flow would you say make these systems viable? I have access to a stream that drops about 60-80' with good flow in spring and fall. Also would have to winterize here. (Ontario, Canada)
I was first made aware of your Hydro system after watching " Motorcyclist get ambushed by an angry ram "...6+ years ago now. Time flies!
I would love to see his home and see what all that hard work looks like. Ingenious!!
prolly looks like a scrapyard
A friend of ours has a small stream of about 300cm wide running through his property, so he set up a water turbine, just placed in the stream to generate power, but the clever part was, he set up three in a row, the the water passing through the first also powers the second, and the third. Three times the energy from the same water. With other ingenious inovations he has free power too
This should be an entire industry! Clean it up - hire an industrial designer, make it compact, light, easy to install, and sell it. You'll make a fortune AND help save the world!
You mean, electrical generators from water wheels? It's been an industry since the 30s. What you mainly see is big dams feeding big water wheels worth big generators, which are more efficient and can power many houses for less cost overall.
Not allowed. That shit would be axed off the map and you would never even remember it happened. Government will help you set up payment plans to your power supplier so you shouldn’t even think about it. 😷
It's a matter of time until a Starbucks opens near his inlet pipe.
Say it isn't so!
and Bill Gates, Big Corps and their minions in our government...make it illegal because they don't like people being sovereign, self-sufficient and empowered...
@@LeChristEstRoi Because Bill Gates wants everyone to fall for their stupid lies. Like the Digital ID or the Vaccine, Heck no! I am not going to ever take the vaccine if it ever gets mandated, that's why I want my own electricity so I don't have it turned off if I don't accept the government's mandates. The government is scared that they will lose people because they will not be able to then collect much taxes from people and they will lose money. HAHA, HECK YOU CORRUPT GOV!
@@brave1.0 I think most of us feel the same, and are ready to boycott the corrupt gov!
@@Rick-the-Swift I am not going to get political, but even a good President like Trump still collects money. All of the government is corrupt, no matter how good they are. They collect money, period. Again, for those who are Trump supporters, I don’t hate Trump, in general I just don’t like “ANY” kind of government.
People who are amazed by this and see it as pure genius I don't think they are mentally grasping the hardwork it takes to live that way and to have that kinda freedom.
Yeah one drawback of having my own power generator, if it stops working I can't just call up the power company to sort it, I have to figure it out myself. it doesn't break down often these days though
@@MartyT yeah. I have a bug out spot and plan. I'm a city boy so I spent several years training and learning to live off the land and harvesting all my own water, power and food. It's a very satisfying life and a ton of hardwork. Hell, just shut the water off to the regular American family home and their quality of life will change tremendously. But anyway i tell people I know about it and the simple machines I've made and they just think it's so neat. Their like "ohhhhhh yeah free electricity" and I'm like no. Nothings free. They don't take into consideration how every little thing becomes so much harder when you remove modern accommodations. Put it mildly. I know I can do it. I have before. But I really hope I don't have to use my bug out spot and plan under real circumstances. I'd much rather continue being a city boy that has a nice spot for hunting fishing camping and hiking. I really love my electricity, air conditioning and running water at the push of a button or twist of a knob. Most people don't understand how much they take that for granted. Looks like you're doing well at it though. Good job.
Marty I enjoy your videos very much. I live in a big city in the USA. So many people here just have no idea what life off grid is like. Take it from my perspective. You're very blessed. Thanks for sharing some of your journeys with people. I'm sure it's a win, win deal for you and many other people.
When an electrical engineer creates his own grid and lives off it.
This is legitimately my dream, I wanna learn how to do this shit
@@Aerostorm56 Go for it man good luck
@@Aerostorm56 gonna be hard though, apart from making them, you have to consider maintaing them, upgrading them, securing them, environmental awareness, getting proper licenses and other shite
My recommendation would be getting out of urban areas and find remote areas like this video, that's just the start.
Just sharing, I support your idea and would also like to do them but in a smaller scale.
Its Just Like That do i have to find and buy the land? Or can i just like sorta claim it mine?
You mean a Mechanical Engineer
Wow, I saw the video of this setup years ago but I didn't make the connection when I found your channel last year. Glad to see it's still going strong!
I've become obsessed with this channel. It's great all-round.
In genius! I am from West Virginia, America. At a place named Beckley. Lot's of ridges. Coal country. A few people that still live in the middle of nowhere that might be able to use something like this. Mountain People. Very rural close nit people still. Laid back and slow living for the most part still. Thanks. Enjoy and be blessed. :-)
I’ll never look at washing machines the same way again.
You mean you will never look at electric motors the same
I’m very impressed with the amount of time and power he’s been able to get out of a washing machine impressive

Talk about woods that look pre historic !!!!!! Marty is a very self sufficient man....I usually learn something from Marty but I don't mess with electricity. stuck the butter knife in the wall socket to many times as a kid
Anything under 50volts in non lethal. Don't be afraid
I like your grasp on reality. The old tree, the way you worded it's lifespan along side of yours shows me your intelligence, water generator aside. My dream come true (owning property like this with 50M head flowing year round). You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Impressive hydro-electric generator Marty T, you even have built-in back-ups and failsafe. Constantly amazed at the power of running water. Very enjoyable having coffee on Sunday morning with you mate. Thanks for sharing.
Something tells me, I could learn more in a week just hanging out with Marty then I could in a year of trade school. Northing against trade schools, but some people are simply unending sources of solid information and, more important, attitude. Good stuff, my friend, good stuff!
You could leanr how to make a video, I don't think that you would learn how to make a water turbine
trade schools are good for the basics but other than that it teaches you nothing. worked with a few guys that easily got 95-100% on their school tests but could barely function on theire own with a simple task. on the flipside i worked with one guy that had to do every year of electrical training 2 or 3 times. he could complete basically ANY task in a decent amount of time with nearly perfect work. if you dont have hands on experience knowledge doesnt help much :)
@@Drenov they meant by being there in person with him, you could definitely learn whatever he is building
@@Drenov on his other channel he shows how it was built. Quite easy as well if you have a little smarts.

I have often thought hydro would be far better than solar or wind. 16 years is amazing. Not only have you saved 20 odd K on grid conection. But at least that again in free power. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful part of the world you live in Marty !
I very much like the way you re-purpose things too.
Your ingenuity really impresses. I didnt think there was enough water flow to run a toaster.
I love the way that sounds once it's back up to speed
Water wheels have been there from around 1 st century BC. Bringing it back to the new era is commendable.
When people ask how are you doing and you reply "living the dream" you're actually telling the truth.
When people ask how are you doing your washing your wife says.... ??

This is genuinely amazing. I have always enjoyed making things and I wanted to be an inventor growing up. Seeing this just makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing this with us!
What an outstandingly ingenious installation you've created, and the additional benefit of your system is that it doesn't generate electricity bills which you'd get with the on grid system!
Your meticulous installation is so well made that it only requires an annual inspection, that in itself is particularly impressive.
Thank you for sharing your excellent work, it's a joy to see this in action.
Yes but if it was grid tied, he wouldn't be wasting all the energy once the batteries are fully charged, grid tied is much preferable IF you have the opportunity.
@@portnuefflyer As was stated in the video, connection to the grid was prohibitively expensive, hence this system!
“Electricity companies hate this man with his one special trick” :-)
To be fair it’s a trick that only works if you have your own perennial stream with a good fall. Which virtually none of us do.

In the US you wouldn't be allowed to do this without special permission (read: money) even if you did have all the right conditions on your property.
@@RazielXSR I doubt that. At 24V there is little to no training, certificates or inspection required in most cases.
@@frantisekzverina473 You think? I mean they have even made it an offense to collect rainwater without permission (again, read: money), so I figure at the very least you are stuck paying for water rights to even set this up.

well, i mean, get connected to the grid, build one of those and sell it at a profit, that's what i would do, clean energy. 0.27 cents per Khw so 0.9*0.27*24*30 = 174.96 euros a month.
What did I learn in my entire education career? Absolutely nothing. Useful information that allows for free thinking and living is a no-no. This guy is a super hero in my book and makes me feel like a total schmuck.
Very impressive on so many levels. Here I was thinking you were on grid power.

/This is what a triple major in mechanical, electrical and civil engineering will get you.
Very impressive indeed. I'm really surprised at how reliable the setup is.
I'm well impressed when people figure things out for themselves. It also keeps resources in use that would otherwise be wasted.
