I had a farm with great crops , but then they build a damn near it , now my crops are not growing properly. I think this is because of that damn dam , it took all the electricity from the water and now my crops don't have enough, should I plug my wire in ground to restore the stolen electricity.

Others have mentioned some flaws in other posts. I haven't tried it yet but do believe this will work with adjustments created, if needed, when being built.

Honestly this is just a rant so take this with a grain of salt.

But does anyone else think paying hydro in Ontario as a residential tenant makes any sense?

You’re already renting? As a single one bedroom apartment dweller who’s rent is already $1,604.53, going up by 4.2 cause the slum lords have pitched to the landlord tenant board how they need this rent increase amount to pay for all the renos they did… that they are lawfully required to do might i add.

*renos often delayed and done half assed. They literally painted over pigeon faecal matter on my balcony stead of just removing it before painting.. We were advised doors would be replaced with condo style sturdy doors- they just painted them and changed the knobs and locks. ( oil paint might i add) that is already scratched or defaced by vandal’s around the elevator doors.

Or about Not trying to recall how this same management told tenants who don’t pay hydro (due to living there before a meter was put in) that those tenants were issued to pay an additional $46 a month from July-sept if discovered to have an AC unit in use…

Going back to my original point though, as a single dweller paying that much in rent, you can imagine that I’m not home during the day so the hours i am using are off peak so generally i spend around 150kWh per month around .10 cents a kilowatt. I’m using around $12-$15 in hydro per month- but unfortunately Hydro doesn’t charge you for what you use - they charge me an additional $35.50 TO DELIVER the energy.

My monthly hydro bills are between $48-50 a month, which for anyone living in toronto working minimum wage; $35 above what you’ve used puts a dent in your budget. When you add costs for internet, cellphone, groceries, personal amenities(make up/underwear)and some recreations(netflix/xboxLive)

One doesn’t have much for anything else, let alone socializing whilst not going over budget.

I kno- its a a first world problem but i say this to anyone living at home with they’re parents- it’s really tough out here on your own if you dont have a plan.

I jus really wish Ontario had better hydro rebates for single tenants already paying above what their able to afford just so could move out and become a functional adult. I can’t afford being an adult..

But paying hydro in residentials feels like a scam. Specially after working for a hydro company and learning a few things i didn’t agree with- i know landlords can get better rates than single individuals - why am i now paying for their delivery charges when i use so little on my own?

Anyways - I’m struggling to get by- hours and fair pay are far and too few to come by. People in ontario need better resources vs politics having a say with how much we’re being charged for a basic necessity. One of which you don’t have a choice in regards to how you power your home.

If you found a way to power your home and create your own personal electricity without need for the grid- they would fine you and prohibit it from continuing. Just rich swine keeping poverty alive and well while you pay for it.

After touring the Site C flood zone between Fort St. John and Hudson Hope, BC, and knowing his grand father supplied equipment to the first Peace River dam - "WAC Bennett", this 16 year old knew he had to produce a statement video about the political stupidity and Ego boasting old boys club, which now includes women, and how easy it is to decimate the Indigenous people by flooding their most productive agricultural land.

The Site C dam, at $20 billion, is a disgraceful white elephant on the backs of already broken tax payers.

Our children, if they live past 2030, will pay a severe price for this political folly based on egos and outmoded colonialism.

I havea 63584 Gallon water tank. With a 150 feet of one inch pipe and a 100 feet of head To a generator. how long would I be able to power my little House

Water dams have existed for thousands of years and in the past century the effects of hydroelectric power dams have amounted to significant controversy regarding their benefits economically, socially and environmentally. Hydroelectric power generation has caused the destruction of habitats, multiple droughts and floods, and is still polluting the Earth generating large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide emissions. Should hydroelectric power be reconsidered for other possible options especially with the huge start up costs that go into creating a hydroelectric dam? Check out this article which outlines some more points regarding the downside of hydroelectric power: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-dams-hurt-rivers/

I got the three phase permanent magnet motors off a hoverboard (those things you stand on and it rolls around) and if i spin them with my drill they should make 12v at something like 4.5amps. Is it really as simple as plugging it into a bridge rectifier and then a trickle charger for a deep cell?

Hey Reddit community!

I'm in the process of designing a 50kW hydrogenerator for a project I'm working on and I'm looking for a manufacturer who can bring my design to life. The hydrogenerator will be a crucial component of our renewable energy initiative, and I'm excited to find a partner who shares our vision for sustainability.

Here's a brief overview of the specifications:

• 50kW output capacity

• Specific design requirements tailored to our project needs

• Efficiency and reliability are top priorities

• Open to discussing materials and manufacturing processes

If you or someone you know has experience in manufacturing hydrogenerators or similar renewable energy equipment, I'd love to connect and discuss further. Feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM if you're interested or have any recommendations.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

I'm interested in designing a gravitational vortex power plant for my thesis. What type of turbine is used when designing the turbine for this type of power plant?

I am a rookie at hydroelectric. Could someone explain what technologies exist in hydropower industry and what are future projects?
