Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SS101990647:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Ever wondered about charging your mobile phones and batteries using water? Is it even possible? Well. We would like to present to you the Micro Water Turbine – Hydraulic Generator. This little device can turn your running water into electricity! It has a durable plastic shell for better protection and also it is a good solution to save electricity to some extent! This generator is able to produce a maximum of 5V from flowing water. [If you want a 12V output from this generator check this out](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-water-turbine-hydroelectric-generator-dc-12v-with-g1-2-thread.html) **Features** - Compact Size for easy deployment - Durable Plastic Shell for better protection - Better solution for energy conservation - Ability to charge different devices such as lithium batteries, mobile phones, and radios - Anti-rust components inside **How Does This Hydroelectric Generator Work?** This small device works in the same mechanism as a hydropower plant which is normally located in the middle of a river by building a dam. Once you set up this small device with a water flow that has considerable pressure (connect to a faucet, connect at the bottom of a water tank), the pressure of the flowing water helps in rotating a turbine which sits inside the device. This turbine has small blades inside and these blades start rotating when the water hits them. Then this is connected to a motor inside which in turn rotates as well, resulting in generating electricity. Finally, it is connected to a small circuit inside in order to regulate the output voltage. **Specifications** - Output Voltage: - 5 +/- 0.3 VDC water flow 10 L / min - 3 ~ 5 +/- 0.3 VDC Water flow 4L / min - 3 +/- 0.25 VDC Water flow 3.5L / min - Flow range: 3.5 ~ 20L / min (pressure 0.05-0.2mpa) - Maximum Output Current: 150mA - Resistance Between Line: 10.5 ± 0.5Ω - Insulation Resistance: 10MΩ - Maximum Working Pressure: 1.2 Mpa - Outlet Closed Highest Pressure Resistance: 0.6Mpa - Start Water Pressure: 0.05Mpa - Axial Clearance Approx: 0.2~1.0mm - Mechanical Noise: ≤ 55dB - Generator Single: Volume 90g - Generator Life: ≥ 3000h - Working Temperature Range: 0 ~ 80 ° C - Storage temperature: -25 ~ 65 ° C - Maximum allowable ambient temperature: 100 ° C max for 30 min **Applications** - Charge lithium batteries - Charge mobile phones - Applications that need 12V stable voltage supply ![Micro-Water-Turbine-12V-dimensions](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_images/Micro-Water-Turbine-12V-dimensions.jpg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/0/3/03_2_1.png)
