How to make a simple small water turbine with a straw?

This is a small water turbine model made with straws. Although it is very "mini", it can really work.

Materials and tools needed:

Some plastic straws, some thin copper wires (or soft thin iron wires), ballpoint pen refills, steel balls, a thick iron wire, scissors. You also need a large beverage bottle and a set of disposable infusion set tubes (not in the picture below).

The upper right of the picture above is the completed water wheel.

Let's make the water wheel first:

1. Take 3 sections of plastic straws of equal length, with two diamond-shaped holes in the middle;

2. Set the hole with the hole on the one without hole;

3. Insert the green straw into the red hole;

4. Distribute the straws at equal intervals, use scissors to make the oblique opening at the end, and the water wheel will be formed;

5. Punch a small hole in the middle of the water wheel with a steel needle;

6. Pass the thin copper wire through the small hole, put both ends on the ballpoint pen core, and bend a small circle on each, so that the water wheel can rotate freely on the thin copper wire and will not move back and forth. Here, the water wheel is all finished.

Assemble the small water turbine model:

1. Find a piece of foam, support the water wheel on it, and fix the thick iron wire on the foam to support the water pipe;

Programmable DC Power Supplies

The CSP series Programmable DC Power Supply is upgraded and developed on the basis of iDealTek-Electronics' mature IGBT high frequency switching power topology and all-digital signal control loop. Featured with high precision, low ripple and fast response speed.
The Programmable DC Power Supply is different from the traditional DC power supply that can only control the output voltage and current values. The programmable DC Power Supplies can realize the programming of multiple parameters through adding the microprocessor unit with built-in control program, such as parameters like operating time, output rise time, protection response time, OVP and OCP etc. All can be set and programmed.
At the same time, the microprocessor unit also adds more functions to the power monitoring system, which can realize the query of the historical data of the test results, making the programmable DC power supply the best choice for laboratory test, production line manufacturing test, photovoltaic plate aging test and various cutting-edge applications with Programmable DC power supplies.

This series of Programmable Power Supplies have a total of 4 standard rated power levels, ranging from 1KW Desktop Programmable Laboratory power supplies to 3KW / 6KW / 10KW Rack-mounted Programmable DC power supplies. The maximum output voltage ranges from 600V to 1000V under different rated powers.

Beautiful appearance design with small and compact size, the whole series power supplies adopt silicone buttons, stepless knobs and LCD display on control panel layout. The output voltage, current, start / stop time, output rising rate, OVP, OCP and other parameter setting programming and reading of the Programmable Power Supplies can be easily and quickly completed through the front panel man-machine interface, up to 5 digits of high-precision programming and monitoring levels make the measurement results of the programmable DC power supply accurate and reliable, almost no need to use external power meters.

At the same time, the whole series of programmable DC power supplies are equipped with RS485 interface as standard, following the MODBUS-RTU international protocol, which can realize remote control programming, test results save and uploading to the master unit and status monitoring of the power supply.
