Can I make Eletricity from tap water ?
I do not pay for my tap water, can i fit some sort of generator to make cheap power for me.
I do have good tap pressure
Answers:
Lol, probably if you hooked it up to a turbine or something (though I doubt you could power all that much from it!).
Of course, the water board would come round and have a word with you if you were using water constantly.
As Answers has a 'no chatting' policy I can't actually ask you questions, so I'll assume that you are living at your parents or something hence the free water. Or maybe you are on a fixed bill.
For the former your parents will kill you, for the later the water board will kill you.
wow that's one interesting pic you have in your avatar.
I don't know but it would be amazing if someone could pop round my house and show me how!!
you could have a turbine in the pipe. I guess.
HAHAHHAHAHA, u can make electricity from ur self as well if u show this picture in ur profile :)
You could set up a mini hydro-electric generator linked to a capacitor to store the generated electricity. You could also link it up to windmills on the roof and utilise all that free wind power.
Failing that you could pull up a few floorboards, crawl through the cavity to next door and tap their supply.
will you tell me why or how you do not pay for your water supply it would be very interesting
yes
water weel
or any gravity feed divice
can make hydrogen cells and turn that back into electricity( I did it but ineficient)
heating the water and using that to turn a generator will also
i dnt fink so :s
Perhaps. You can try to creat some hydroelectricity. But the amount is VERY VERY LITTLE.
Use ur tap water to turn some DIY turbine, and fit a generator to it. Good luck.
Hope this helps=)
Of course you can and this was commonly done about a century ago when hobbyists only needed a small amount of power intermittantly. But somebody is paying to supply that water unless you have a pipe to an uphill lake, so you're not going to generate an appreciable amount of power before someone notices and comes to turn your water off.
It would be possible to fit a turbine to your water line, but it would most likely be impractical. To get sufficient electricity for a large application (like your household) would probably require a very large generator (as large as some of the ones that run on diesel fuel or gasoline sold at the home help centers (Home Depot, for example), and they have fairly big engines. Now, if you could use solar power to dissociate hydrogen and oxygen from the water, you could then use that in a Hydrogen-Oxygen fuel cell (but you would be putting more solar-derived electricity into the process than you would get out). These are not commercially available, as far as I know. Also, if you used tap water that SOMEONE pays for (I'm assuming it isn't well water) to turn a large enough turbine I'm thinking they would soon get wise to the water usage and make you start to pay for it.
huge amounts of water wasted to make very little power; yes
