Ultra-Small Water Power Generator

Hydroelectric generation uses water power to drive turbines and is an important means for producing the electricity so essential for modern life. Facilities have been becoming smaller, with generators able to use diverse water power sources. We’ll look at an ultra-small generator developed in Gifu that’s highly portable and works even with shallow, slow moving water. Already tested powering street lights, it promises to allow people in the world’s remote regions to generate their own electricity for the first time.

I love how they never tell you how much electricity it produces, so you can't tell if it's a genius invention or just nice looking useless machine.

How can I buy it?

[@loucipher7782]

now go make an aquarium with low power water pumps so that you can get unlimited power with that generator

when the guy translated the little girl XD

What happens to the fish and crayfish and all the millions of creatures that come into contact with the blades that run so close to the metal?

[@rjgonzalez9220]

Honestly im not mostly looking at the generator but admiring how their canal system is SO clean. No garbage just clear water.

Japanese are another level

Practical when your drains are not clogged with rubbish. Unfortunately many countries don't have this luxury of clean, rubbish free drains or river.

Japanese children becoming clever due to educated man like him passed on his scientific knowledge.

This is how you can charge your cellphone during brownout using nearby canals

this narrator's voice is super Nostalgic, I've been watching this JapanTV ever since I was a child maybe 20 years ago, on our local T.V. channel..

This is genius! It would be great for so many applications. It would be great for off grid camping or even homeless people.

Thank you for making the world better, we need more people like us :)

[@kennethsrensen7706]

Thumbs up for this great work.

[@stedated]

I wish I had a school like that! these children will change the world with invention's like these

[@margike100]

Thank you Masaya! Keep up the great work, I hope to see many more of your inventions aimed at combining creativity, efficiency and cost-savings to keep our Earth clean. Outstanding!
