Innovative micro hydroelectric turbine

Thought there are some similarities there are more differences between classic hydraulic ram and present experiment especially the application of exploiting for hydroelectric power in manner illustrated. Though in video water flowing from tap is shown it works same way if there is a reservoir at starting of the collapsible bladder and if small pipe is connected to it. The most important point is that it enters at zero or negative head and works well at low velocity flows and therefore useful for hydroelectric power generation from small streams or rivers at waterfall areas and there is no requirement for constructing large dams/reservoirs for it to work. Hence it can be used as a very costeffective micro or pico hydroelectric plant in rural and hilly interiors where communications are difficult to establish. Once started the process goes on as long there is water continously flowing from above. 1) It converts continuous flow of water to pulsatile flow thereby energy from continuous source is made to release in pulses and therefore becomes more powerful and can turn parts much heavier than would be achieved by utilizing continuous flow. 2) The rotating mechanism shown is actually demo model of 2 stroke internal combustion engine and here instead of pulses of combustion of gas which happens in all engines the piston is connected to to & fro oscillating pipes produced by repeated waterhammer effect and this powers the jerky rotations of the wheel which are coupled to a …
