Hey ! As you have little water, it would have to be a printer motor. Of course the energy production will also be much lower but it will be real. You have to be realistic at this point. Congratulations on your enthusiasm. Do not give up !
Under load drawing electrical power, the EMF is likely to slow or stop the water wheel. I think you’ll need wider veins/ buckets on the waterwheel to be practical.
I'm thinking about rebuilding the waterwheel to have wider buckets, however my main concern right now is getting a motor that generates a usable current
for best result put belt around water wheel then to the alternator, you will be rocking big time. you will need a big belt but they to sell them or make your own just saying
Well then that makes sense, how come when I messured it with the multimeter I got the voltage in hundreths instead of a whole number, seems way too low for the rpms it was spinning at
That might be a good idea, right now I have another motor I'm planning on using that's a 120V induction motor off of a drill press and I was able to generate 60v ac by hand spinning it, any thoughts on that?

Good job!

so good

Great video just need a little bit more audio
nice video . A normal car generator is direct current .

If you get hub motor, I show you how to resoldered and get more power, from 250w hub motor you get 60-100 volts.

Just wonder how much water flow you have
You need mord torque, a much larger wheel.
Your audio is too low. We can barely hear you.
