Water wheel generator, is a simple to implement design.
The power that can be generated by a water wheel is directly related to the level at which water is directed to the wheel, the diameter of the wheel and the amount of water water carried by the wheel.
As you can see, more the diameter of the wheel more the torque to turn the generator. Available space / height is critical in determining the optimum diameter of the wheel.
Material used are things you can easily find any where. So when combined with some electrical control steps, you have a home made hydro electrical plant, that is if you have a usable steam of water.. lOl
Water wheels are often used to run mills and pumps.
