How to Make Water Pump

It’s been a long time I’m thinking about making a solar-powered water pump for my farm. I already have a 100 w solar panel, which I bought for making my off-grid system. Let’s make a water pump {solar powered) It’s the perfect time to make a solar-powered water pump. Which type of water pump am I’m gonna make? I thought for a moment. Watched a few YouTube videos, referred to some blogs, and decided to make a Centrifugal pump.  1. How to Make Centrifugal Water Pump How do Centrifugal pumps work? Centrifugal pumps are hydraulically operated machines characterized by their ability to transmit energy to fluids (in particular to liquids) through the work of a field of centrifugal forces. Their main purpose is to transfer fluids through an increase in pressure.

How to Make Solar Water Heater | DIY Solar Water Heater

Climate change is real or not, but burning fossil fuel and releasing a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has its adverse consequences. That’s why I always advocate using solar energy to its maximum wherever it is feasible. Here, I’ve created three different types of solar water heaters for the New Physicist. Using a spiral copper pipe solar water heater, parabolic trough, and a parabolic dish. Make Spiral Copper Pipe Solar Water Heater Let’s get started with the first one. The spiral copper pipe solar water heater. Someone asked where did I get that spiral copper pipe. It’s is the most important component of an air conditioner. So you can easily get one from your nearest AC repair shop, or you can buy a brand new one from my Amazon store . Visit amazon.in/shop/newphysicist Why Copper? Ok, then you may ask why copper? Copper has high thermal conductivity, so it can easily capture solar heat radiation and convey it to the water inside. Especially if painted black. T...

Total Power Consumption Calculator

The energy E in kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day is equal to the power P in watts (W) times number of devices times number of usage hours per day t divided by 1000 watts per kilowatt: E (kWh/day)  =  P (W) × n ×  t (h/day)  / 1000 (W/kW) This Calculator is designed to calculate off-grid solar system size. For running AC, Water heater, Water pump we dont suggest to run on solar, as the solar system will cost 3-4 times higher than the normal one and requires high budget. So Those appliances are excluded from the list.
