Abstract
We propose a new idea of generating power with water in a household by micro water turbine settled in the pipe line in a house.We conducted experiment with a micro water turbine having 100 mm diameter blade.By using the experimental data of the power,we calculated mean power in a month at various cities in Japan when we settled the micro water turbine in a house.Although our used micro water turbine in the experiment has small energy efficiency,we can obtain about 50 W in a month.If we improve the micro water turbine,we can expect the possibility of using a micro water turbine in a household with generating more power.
