New battery charger for gadgets running on the energy of water Bashny.Net

Portable hydroelectric HydroBee consists of two main parts. In the center is a cylindrical battery pack, which contains six 1,2 V NiMH AA batteries, and a USB port and mounted externally of the wheel. This unit can be used separately, if you set it on the end of a faucet or hose. When the flow of tap water through the unit, the wheel rotates and drives a generator that produces electricity, which is accumulated in batteries.



This block is in a floating housing which is held in place using a rope, securely fastened on the shore. To generate electricity HydroBee can be towed behind a boat, tying it to the stern of the ship. As water passes through the device the propeller is spinning in the housing and drives the generator to generate electricity.



According to the estimates of HydroBee Creator, the two hours that the device will hold the water flowing at a speed of 6 km/h, enough to fully charge six AA batteries.
