Genius Bladeless Hydro Turbine is Cheaper Than Solar

Thanks for watching! Don't forget, the first 100 people to use code ZIROTH at the link below will get 60% off of Incogni: incogni.com/ziroth ! Just realised I put some footage of a bigger turbines (that uses the same method of generation) which look pretty deadly and didnt give context - my thought was the smaller/lighter ones would not crush the fish! My bad for not being clear with this!

I feel the fish will be crushed between the ball and sidewall like a mortar and pestle.

AS an off grid low header, I made many experimental turbines and learned a lot. Efficiency can be up to 70% even with small 100 watt units at 3 feet of head. Self cleaning screens keep fish and debris out. All needs to be stainless steel, dissolved atmospheric CO2 attacks galv and concrete if turbulent. Critical aspect is not having fixed alternator speed, allow the system to self tune to the load. Switchmode electronic control.

There are many channels on youtube that talk about new scientific concepts but never actually get to the point or setting it into context of real world application. They talk alot but don't say anything useful. First i thought you would be one of them but i am happy to see that you are actually getting to the bottom of those concepts.

Thanks for the video. Fascinating. As a keen fisherman I can relate to the desire for turbines that don't mince the fish. That said, looking at the footage you have shown here it looks like any hapless fish that found themselves going through one of these would run the risk of being crushed to paste where the "ball" meets the wall. Love your work. Cheers.

Safety and affordability are equally important as efficiency. If you can install many small/cheap solutions you have more redundancy and less precision required to generate power, especially nice when something fails. 👍 cool video, thanks for sharing ✌️

In your cup example, the ball never gets too close to the sides of the cup, making it "fish-safe". In the ACTUAL designs, the ball is intended to get very close to the walls, with one example actually narrowing the tunnel at the ball to get it closer. (which probably improves efficiency?) That we would call a "fish-crusher". And with how fast it's revolving around, there's no sneaking around it. I think, generally speaking, the more "fish-safe" a turbine gets, the less efficient it becomes. Though like you said, if it needs to be safe and isn't, the efficiency is ZERO, totally agree.

The turbulent turbine blades are made from a composite material and are very fish friendly as only small fish can enter the initial run to the turbine,plus only needs a minimum fall in the river,one up and running in Denver in Norfolk uk at the barrier on the great ouse 😊

There are some wind power generation ideas that involve using the wind to “wiggle” a piezoelectric material. You could do the same thing with water. So basically underwater “flags,” where the undulation of the flexible surface generates electricity. Seems like it would be pretty fish safe.

It looks like they've invented a giant mortar and pestle to crush fish instead of chop.

If a fish can be caught between the ball and the wall of the turbine, it's not really fish safe. A bladed turbine can be safer if it there is no risk of hitting the leading edge of a blade. Hitting the side of a blade is not an issue as long as the blade is not moving too quickly.

Thanks for doing all that research in order to make this fascinating video!! Keep it up, young man

that's not fish safe , that's a macerator!

Looks like some rock crushers you see in gravel quarries. Those see a ton of wear and tera (duh they are crushing rocks) but with the same motion it makes me curious what kind of operational wear and tear you can expect from these hydro turbines. Long-term costs could increase over solar if they require more frequent maintenance. Cool design, cool video, thanks for the hardwork and the upload 👍

I think, to kickstart the vortex, the previous design (snail shape) or inlets like the ones in the vortex fire jet stove are better. And then the axis can be made more static and not wobbling around.

Well done! Much appreciate presentation. Have been following/researching Turbulent for applications in New England and wish to know more on your activities, Thanks JP

Love the little irl/practical experiment, hope we get more of those in the future!

Talking about fish friendly, I saw a bladed turbine that was just that, on a science program Towards 2000 or Beyond 2000 (can’t remember which side of 2000 it was). It was invented by engineering students at a university in Ireland. The reason it was fish friendly was because the blades were driven by air, not water. Basically it was a large container that filled with water from a river source (or other). As the container filled the air expelled drove the blades at the top of the container. When the container filled to just below the blades it would automatically open a release valve at the bottom. The water exiting would then draw air into the vessel further driving the blades. To keep the blades turning in the same direction their cross section was such that it looked like a diamond lying horizontally, with the two sides at one end being much shorter than the sides at the other end - hope that makes sense. The water source would, of necessity, need a drop in levels in line with the top and bottom of the container.

I appreciate your method of information reveal.....it has stimulated my interest to seek further data. Kudos to you.

There has been a recent development in the UK with pumped storage with a low height differential, they are using a fluid much heavier than water to make up for the lack of height
