Good idea, we need more energy-creating devices, rather than energy-wasting devices.

he reaally like to use ‘white’:), I mean jin.

Wow, really. Like we don’t have enough water waste that we need to run water needlessly in homes.

This is fine for squeezing that extra bit out of getting a glass of water or doing the dishes(you know the everyday stuff), but as a stand alone unit just because you don’t have to pay your water bill? What about social responsibility. Good for you, you pay your water with your rent and get screwed every month. So now you want to screw me out of a scarcer and scarcer resource? Lets advance the desertification of the planet that much faster.

This thing, if used properly, will NEVER pay for itself. It will undoubtedly break or people will grow tired of it before it gets the thousands upon thousands of gallons needed to generate enough power to equal its cost. And if your like most of us and pay for water, now we are talking marginal cost savings, if not negative depending on how much power it generates.

Great job, we can clearly see your potential as a designer.

A better idea is to install a device like that on the water reservoir in your house or building. In that case the flow is greater and more constant. In a building, for example, practically constant.

You can use that energy to charge up batteries or heat water. The major problem in this is that it works just like a power plant: there’s no energy storage.

Not a good design for artificial flows – (ie. anything that needs a pump to give pressure) – but not bad for rain water off the roof perhaps.

I think your product will consume way more resources than it will convert.. make it simpler..

a very naive and narrow minded way of obtaining cleaner electricity

some kind of misundertanding of this work here. It is actually aimed to installed behid the wall. so when people use the water, turbine works by water pressure. It means, you dont have to waste water by generating electircity. How foolish is that! pooring water for making elecricty. This is not the concept like that. you just use water like everyday you use. then it store electricity in its’ body.

hey can i get the full details , brochure and the photos of this product!!!!!!!! how much will it cost

of course, you dont have to forcefully open the water all the time just to get some electricity. THIS is just a help to lessen your electric bills. why, what are the things you do with water in your apartment/house? one is you clean the dishes, wash your hands, take a bath, if its clean tap you drink, and the list goes on. now with all these stuff you do with water, by that time, you would have been able to generate and store some enough electricity for lets say, to charge your cellphone or if the electric generator can hold up a larger amount of watts, then probably you can use your small tv for at least an hour without actually plugging your tv to the normal house socket. this means, you saved an hour worth of electricity bill on your house. the point is, this is just going to somehow alleviate your electric cost a little and probably it helps a lot on the long run.

Just a quick point on this concept. In some countries….. I know this is the case in the UK you are not allowed by law to draw power using the potential energy from the water supply. I know this as I have designed for a well known Bathroom design company and this was an idea we always wanted to use but was sadly blocked by legislation.

Great idea and one that may help change government minds but as for now it would not be allowed globally which is sad.

Nice work.

How can I order one?

Thank you for such an outstanding idea. The people who use gravity fed water system in some developing countries would very appreciate possessing one of the device. My community needs this, rich countries please don’t forget others don’t take these informations for granted as some surely do. I want to order some for my community.What is your contact?

I am surprised at the negative comments. As long as this device is used only when we need water, where is the waste? The energy is just a byproduct of what we are using anyways.
Yes it does take pumps to generate the water so why not use that energy rather than create more elsewhere?

oh and I would love to buy one. Where do you get one?

Might be worth a look for some limited applications. Ohh, no contact, no data, no idea what the output is (other then 220v?)

What is the point of the post if there is no way to look into it futher? Sigh.
