The discussion revolves around the feasibility and technical aspects of generating electricity using mini turbines placed in a water flow system leading to an overhead tank. Participants are exploring the potential power output based on given flow rates and system parameters.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the power output, as it relies on assumptions about pressure that have not been confirmed. Multiple viewpoints regarding the necessary parameters for accurate calculations remain evident.
The discussion lacks specific details about the system's configuration and the actual pressure of the water flow, which are critical for accurate power output calculations. The assumptions made by participants introduce uncertainty into the estimates provided.
i don't have its diagram,but i can give you the flow rate of water=its approximately takes 18 seconds to fill a complete 1litre of water.can yo please provide me the power output that can be generated out of it,on an average atleast,i thought of storing it into battery and using it whenever it is necessary,so that i can save some unit of current in my home.russ_watters said:Welcome to PF!
How much water is being moved and how does it get there? Can you provide a diagram of the system?
In order to find out the power you need the pressure. Since you don't seem to know, I'll just take a wild guess and assume it is 10m of head (pressure in units of height of water column). That would provide you a power of 5 Watts.Rohan Mahadikar said:i don't have its diagram,but i can give you the flow rate of water=its approximately takes 18 seconds to fill a complete 1litre of water.can yo please provide me the power output that can be generated out of it,on an average atleast,i thought of storing it into battery and using it whenever it is necessary,so that i can save some unit of current in my home.
