Vision 2020 Electric Power Generation: Backyard Turbine System by ultraGM: 2:51pm On May 21, 2012 |
Good Day Dear friend Due to the Power challenges we are having in this country, other alternatives green energy such as INVERTER are very costly to acquire, I think of an idea if individual can manage and generate their own power by means of Backyard Turbine System (BTS) , that will be of a good idea, but i don't know how practical this will be, because the system will need much pressure to pump the water in the provided water tank so as to drive and generate Electricity capable of powering a building of Three Bedroom Flat with average power consumption. Please my question is can this be practically done or its just a waste of time And what is your own idea to improve this See the my diagram Below: 1 Share

nice idea, but what carries the water back to the tank |

Interesting. So is this like some kind of positive feedback system? But how do you make the water travel back up to complete the positive feedback? |

Energy can not be created or destroyed , Energy can only be converted from one form to another (eg, electrical to mechanical using electric motor and visa-vasa using alternator also having in mind conversion efficiency, so in a nutshell that diagram will not work, if you calculate the conversion efficiency you will see that the close loop analysis will expose a conversion efficiency of not more than 50%, 10% to 15% loss on the belts and pully , 15-20% loss on the alternator, also the kinetic energy in the water will absolved at the turbine blades to drive the alternator, so the will not have any energy to push up back to the over head tank. 1 Like |

^ First post, huh? Welcome to Nairaland. See you around! |

Just like the second speaker said, energy can neither be created or destroyed. it is a good idea if only the water is coming from a natural source like a river or dam. That is the idea of a dam. If the water comes down the energy you need to take it up will make it a waste project. Why not think of windmill. |

Thanks @electrowale and Co Am not an electrical Engineering Student i just thought of it as fun. @electrowale your explanation was well explained, and an eye-opener in the field. KUDOS |

pls wat of this fuelless generator stuff? Hw true and reliable is it? And can one use a solar panel with inverters or whatever to power a mini eatery wit like 3 two hp a/cs, 4 freezers and other less-heavy equipments? What wil it cost and Wil it be durable? Thanks. |
Re: Vision 2020 Electric Power Generation: Backyard Turbine System by electrowale: 8:42am On Jun 05, 2012 |
@ dougivilla, if you want to power a house of like 3ACs of 2hp, 4 freezers, 15 lighting point and 2 TVs. you will need like 10KVA pure sinewave inverter and 30pcs of 150AH/12v to run the system for 14hours cost 10KVA pure sinewave inverter is around 1.2m 150AH/12V Battery GEL 43k after that one you will need DC Cable and Connectors to connect your batteries together. AC cable Battery Cabinet for ur battery. for more information feel free to sent mail to me @ electrowale@yahoo.co.uk adeleke azeez adewale |

Guys I need help, working on a wind turbine as my final year project. I have run into some difficulties, mostly the motor to use for the turbine! Any ideas please?? |

Re: Vision 2020 Electric Power Generation: Backyard Turbine System by Yemmyteespeed007(m): 7:47pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
pumping the water back to the tank is the problem. that might not be achievable. |
