Rain Gutter Power Generation

One leaf could do a number on a 1 2 pipe much less a microturbine with its teeny.

Rain gutter power generation.

Seamless aluminum rain gutters can be utilized in both residential and commercial construction in addition to any location of the u s. The downspout shielded the stream of water from wind and directed it to a turbine at the ground level. In a rain gutter you don t have that push. The generator s output was around 1 3 watts of electricity less than 1 3rd of the predicted amount.

I wonder about junk in the incoming water. The high capacity gutter channels and redirects rainwater to help prevent garden erosion and foundation damage. In the rainiest months the generator was expected to only output 0 6 watt hours per day and in the driest months less than 0 12. Miniscule power might be overcome by stacking a bunch of units maybe.

The vinyl material resists rusting and corrosion. Our device uses water pressure from gutter downspouts to generate electricity during heavy rainfall and storms where solar panels will not be as effective. A seamless aluminum rain gutter system comprised of a gutter trough elbows and downspouts is designed specifically for each building application whether it be a residential home or a commercial building. The actual results of the gutter generator were less than what was expected.

Now consider turning the rainwater that runs into that gutter into electricity. It is engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions. Imagine the average house or apartment which is most always equipped with a rain gutter for water runoff. Feasibility of rainwater as a source of renewable energy.

What is rainwater power. We have been inspired to create a device that will create electricity cleanly and support areas in which other alternative sources may not be as applicable.
