Yes, why don't I answer if he doesn't answer. My answer is that - I picked it out of thin air. I decided to pump him up - but does he understand what he blurted out? |

Or both. --- End quote --- Has it finally dawned on you that this idea is worth stealing? But how can you steal something that is already in plain sight? |

Finally the real clown is out of the bag. :-DD |

@Hydro, do you even understand how much energy is 1J/s which is 1W? According to the table you posted, such a hydropower station of 1m depth produces 3430 Joule per second. This is 3430W and boils down to 0,000952778KWh. Good luck in powering your house with it. Edit: I overlooked the fact that it is continuous. The small number is just the amount of energy for a single second. |

To reiterate: --- Quote from: Hydro on February 05, 2024, 01:21:08 pm --- --- Quote from: eutectique on February 05, 2024, 01:07:29 pm ---169 W of power at 1 rpm is 1600 Nm of torque. --- End quote --- 2. how did you calculate 1600 Nm without taking into account the pulley diameter? --- End quote --- The holes in your knowledge of mechanics are profound. You don't even know the basics. For your education, $$\tau = \frac{P}{\omega}$$ where $\tau$ is torque, $P$ is instantaneous power, and $\omega$ is angular velocity. There is no "pulley diameter", or "lever" in the formula. Distance from the centre of rotation does not matter. |
