A Portable Water Hydro Charger Rocendo Astillero / John Dale Gutierez

Hydro Electric

Hydroelectric energy is made by moving water. Hydro comes

from the Greek word for water.

Hydroelectric energy has been in use for thousands of

years. Ancient Romans built turbines, which are wheels turned
by flowing water. Roman turbines were not used for electricity,
but for grinding grains to make flour and breads.

Water mills provide another source of hydroelectric

energy. Water mills, which were common until the Industrial
Revolution, are large wheels usually located on the banks of
moderately flowing rivers. Water mills generate energy
that powers such diverse activities as grinding grain,
cutting lumber, or creating hot fires to create steel.
 ENERGY
Harnessing Hydroelectricity

To harness energy from flowing water, the water

must be controlled. A large reservoir is created,
usually by damming a river to create an artificial lake,
or reservoir. Water is channeled through tunnels in
the dam.

The energy of water flowing through the dam's

tunnels causes turbines to turn. The turbines make
generators move. Generators are machines that
produce electricity.
Energy
Extraction:

This component of the system will extract energy

from the river’s
Flow, or any kind of water supply at home.
Essentially, this component converts the kinetic
energy of the water into some
other form of energy that can be easily transferred
to the camp without too much loss

Methodology

The turbine which has inner round pieces of metal

attached on top of the generator is perfectly held in the
case. The turbine generator is then placed under the
running water.
As the water passes through the nozzle, the turbine
rotates. The pieces of metal in the turbine magnetically
induces an electric field via the copper coil to generate
electricity.
Finally, the whole generator has a flexible elastic piece at
the nozzle entrance which can be affixed to almost all
common water pipeline, making the design universal for
all water tube.
 Addressing the
Problem:
• Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source. Hydroelectricity uses
the energy of running water, without reducing its quantity, to produce
electricity.
• Hydroelectricity makes it possible to utilize other renewable sources.
The flexibility and storage capacity of hydroelectric power plants make
them more economical in supporting the use of intermittent sources of
renewable energy, such as solar energy.
• Hydroelectricity promotes guaranteed energy and price stability. River
water is a domestic resource which, unlike fuel or natural gas, is not
subject to market fluctuations.
• Hydroelectricity helps fight climate changes. The hydroelectric life
cycle produces very small amounts of greenhouse gasses.
• Hydroelectricity improves the air we breathe. The power plants don’t
release pollutants into the air, and hydroelectric developments don’t
generate toxic by-products.
Possible Target Markets

Because of the number of houses with running water worldwide, the

Vepo turbine is poised to have a substantial impact.

Since most homes already employ pressure reducing valves to

regulate water pressure from the street into individual homes, the
turbine can perform this function while also producing electricity.
 Value Proposition
Improving the quality of the customers’ living environment and saving annual home operation costs
through alternative power generator, modern design and home automation at minimal additional
cost.

The hydropower segment accounted for the largest share

in the market in 2021. Hydropower is currently the largest
source of renewable energy source globally. Between
2021 and 2030, the power generation in the segment is
expected to increase by 17% or by 230 GW, thereby
creating significant growth opportunities. The market
growth in the segment is expected to be maximum during
the forecast period.

Model Idea
System Components
Small hydropower systems consist of these basic components:
• Water conveyance—channel, pipeline, or pressurized pipeline (penstock) that delivers the water
• Turbine or waterwheel—transforms the energy of flowing water into rotational energy
• Alternator or generator—transforms the rotational energy into electricity
• Regulator—controls the generator
• Wiring—delivers the electricity.

The system also use an inverter to convert the low-voltage direct current (DC)
electricity produced by the system into 120 or 240 volts of alternating current
(AC) electricity (alternatively you can buy household appliances that run on DC
electricity). Some systems also use batteries to store the electricity generated by the
system, although because hydro resources tend to be more seasonal in nature than
wind or solar resources, batteries may not always be practical for hydropower
systems.
If you do use batteries, they should be located as close to the turbine as possible,
because it is difficult to transmit low-voltage power over long distances.
