Micro Water Turbine Generator for 1/2 inch Pipe Fittings 5V Output Overview A compact micro hydroelectric generator designed to install inline with 1/2 inch pipe fittings and produce a 5V output from flowing water. Designed for simple integration where a small, continuous DC power source is needed. Key benefits Off grid, continuous power generation from existing water flow without batteries during operation Direct 5V output suitable for powering or charging small low voltage electronics when matched to compatible circuitry Compact inline design fits standard 1/2 inch pipe fittings for easy installation in narrow plumbing runs Simple mechanical operation with no complex setup required, making it suitable for projects, remote sensors, and testing Function and attributes Function: Converts water flow into electrical energy using a micro turbine, delivering a 5V DC output Compatibility: Designed to fit standard 1/2 inch pipe fittings and threaded connections common in household and irrigation plumbing Size: Micro inline form factor sized specifically for 1/2 inch pipe installation Material: Engineered for inline placement within pipe fittings; suitable for applications where a small turbine can be installed in the flow path Performance: Produces a stable 5V output under appropriate flow conditions for lowpower devices and electronics Practical applications Remote sensors and telemetry: Power environmental or flow sensors located along water lines where running wires is impractical Off grid small device charging: Provide a continuous 5V source for lowpower lights, microcontrollers, or charging circuits in cabins, boat bilges, or field sites Education and prototyping: Use in classroom demonstrations or engineering projects to show hydroelectric generation and to prototype micro power solutions Installation and usage notes Install inline in a section of 1/2 inch piping where the turbine will be exposed to steady water flow Verify mechanical compatibility with existing fittings and ensure secure sealing to avoid leaks Match the 5V output to the device or charging circuit requirements; use appropriate power management or protection if needed Performance depends on flow rate and system pressure; select installation location with sufficient flow for consistent output This micro turbine generator provides a compact, practical way to harvest small amounts of hydroelectric power directly from 1/2 inch plumbing for lowvoltage applications.
