Turning Hydropower into Light – ES Pipe Waterwheel

The ES Pipe Waterwheel is a tool that utilizes hydropower generated from regular water taps by converting it to energy. The waterwheel works in the same way as a mini turbine does, the waterwheel pipe connects to a regular water pipe, as water runs, the turbines turn and generate energy. This energy is used to power specialized bulbs that connect to the pipe to charge and detach for use.

The ES Pipe Waterwheel is intended for use in developing countries where severe power shortages persist, its use could easily be applied to emergency situations and areas in recovery from disaster.
