The $50 Water Turbine -DIY, Portable, Powerful, and Open Source

Part Two (with full power output results) here: This turbine can be built for about half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and basic hand tools. The turbine is now working and producing power. Help directly support us creating more prototypes and tutorials by joining the channel: This technology was produced in partnership with COACT, an open source green tech incubator in Barcelona. COACT exists to help all kinds of innovators working on green technologies. To learn more, and apply for a residency visit And thanks to the good people at Ca La Fou () for the rest. Once the design is optimized I'll produce a full open source construction tutorial on the website: https
