  3. Executive Summary • Proposed System • Deliverables • Total Cost: $1,210.00 • Resources H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  4. Responsibilities H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  5. Literature Review • Rainfall Data • Collection Systems • Power Generation • Reuse of Water • U of I Project H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  6. Project Description • Rainwater powered retrofittable heat exchanger system • Subsystems • Filtration/Funneling • Power Generation • Geothermal • Heat Exchanger H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  7. Block Diagram H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  8. Funneling/Filtration Subsystem • Rainwater will be collected by a gutter system • Primary filter will separate large solids • Secondary filter will screen out smaller particulates • Rainwater will be funneled into a holding pipe • Water will be released when pipe is full H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  9. Power Generation Subsystem • Turbine • Pelton Wheel Design • In-line Enclosure • DC Motor Generator • Electro-Craft 24V Generator • 2.5V DC / 1000 RPM • Battery • Powers Circulation Pump H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  10. Geothermal Subsystem • Rainwater will be cooled underground • 900 gallon tank • Plastic • ~10ft below surface • Circulation pump will transfer the rainwater to the heat exchanger subsystem • Little Giant - 3-MDQX-SC Inline Pump H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  11. Heat Exchanger Subsystem • A/C • Water from tank will be used to help cool the condenser • This will ease the work required of the compressor • Once the water has been used it will return to the tank to return to a colder temperature H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  12. Design Timeline H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  13. AIL Fall 2011 H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  14. Projected Cost H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER

  15. Summary • What is being proposed • Deliverables • Costs • Final Thought H2OPOWER S11-64-H2OPOWER
