    With a Few Design Features for a Trompe

    Thanks Sophiecentaur & Baluncore You both are bringing up good and valid concerns that i am definitely taking into consideration. Sophiecentaur you are correct when you say i don't have the background or knowledge to pull this off but I'm not alone, we do have an electrical engineer who...

    With a Few Design Features for a Trompe

    Thank You Balucore I'm actually surprised at how much power 4.4 hp will generate which has me even more eager to build a working model. I'm even more surprised more people aren't using a Trompe? Is that another warning sign I'm on a fools errand? The idea was to have air inlets coming from...

    With a Few Design Features for a Trompe

    Thanks Sophiecentaur Forgive me but i don't get all of that equation Power in Watts = hmg Height in metres X flow rate in kg per second X g what is the g factor? Unfortunately I'm not on the property now and have never been so i don't yet know how much water we are dealing with...

    With a Few Design Features for a Trompe

    Hi Sophiecentaur You're right about it essentially being hydro electricity but the turbine will possibly need much more flow of water than a trompe, to be honest i don't really know as finding a functioning trompe is not an easy task which also leads me to believe i might be on a fools errand...

    With a Few Design Features for a Trompe

    Hi Everybody The plan is to build a trompe in rural Nepal. Has anybody here built one? Sure would love to hear from you. I believe we could generate enough psi to run a pneumatic motor that puts out 8.4 hp possibly more but i would like to start there and see what sort of output we...
