Hi,

everthing is fine as long as you have water with enough pressure.
Both things i question for developing reagions.
And one thing that realy scares me is thinking of people letting precious water run to have light during night.

Design is nice but realy, aren’t there other ways to generate electricity?

Kind regards, Chris

hi.. where can i buy this…?

That is dumb. I think you should read first law of thermodynamic again. If take energy from water you have to give it somewhere before. In this case your water pump which run on electricity.

Dolbie is correct – if you increase the restriction for the water leaving the tap, you will have to increase the pressure in the system.

It’s the equivalent of putting a wind turbine on your bonnet to generate ‘free’ energy. In that case, you’d just have to burn more petrol. Same here.

For this application, a clockwork / bike dynamo / photovoltaic device would be infinitely more reliable, and could be used without requiring a source of running high pressure water.

Wouldn’t work and doesn’t solve a problem.

nice idea

Great concept.

The product would work if the system was already gravity fed – this just harnessing the GPE. Not exactly common but a possibility.

Hello,
This idea has been already implemented for few years in the real world.
Takes brands such as Toto which use hydrogenerator to power the IR sensor electronic of their faucets.
A reality check need to be done on how much energy you can generate to power enough LED to light.

Cool! I wanna change the pipes in my toilet._:

seeing this product makes my day this appears to be a close relative of the lakeside hydrodynamic ideas I promote on twitter

oh comon ppl. I guess ideas are just some nice designed graphic now’s day. even a high school student can prove its not viable….

how can i buy ?

Like anything on Yanko design is realistic. it’s simply designing without real-world physics and constraints.

seriously? I mean Seriously? have you any knowledge about electricity turbines and waterflow? you are showing a Indian rural area with a tap and in rural areas people are struggling with water, this is not just create stupid cravings for people but will end up resulting in a massive loss of water which unfortunately is abundant and people use hand pumps to drive water from wells to reserve.

Great design and idea, but a little naive.

then reread it yourself. lots of energy is wasted in faucets and taps. this uses the energy that would normally be unused.
