Does anyone here own one? As of 2023 the company has stopped producing them and people are still waiting for refunds. I am working on a project to create a waterlily 2.0, a better version to sell as a consumer product at the best possible price. If you own one or have used one and can point out flaws or issues you had with it please go ahead.
>>2863841>hey guys this product failed so let's make another one why ? Portable batteries exist and will charge your phone for a week for the same weight as this shit + I don't need a river. It's just not useful and thus people don't need it. Make it light and foldable and maybe then it'll be useful but I highly doubt it
>>2863842It failed because the company began scamming people. They were bad people not the product.To record in UHD or 4K whike hiking I have to carry a 28w big blue with a power bank. Carrying kilos of charges batteries as you suggest is a ridiculous idea. I do not want to make money, so that part of it is irrelevant I would be happy to sell 1 unit per year, it's the engineering I enjoy.
>>2863843>To record in UHD or 4K whike hiking I have to carry a 28w big blue with a power bank.who the fuck does that ? >Carrying kilos of charges batteries as you suggest is a ridiculous ideaas opposed to a 1kg toy that takes half of your bag ? Do you know how much energy you can pack in a 1kg power bank? >it's the engineering I enjoyGood for you I guess, but that's a trivial project then
>>2863845>who the fuck does that ?Touring companies that sell hikes to normies (me).
>>2863846>Touring companies that sell hikes to normies (meWhat the fuck. Explain.
>>2863845Are you sure that this small turbine can generate that kind of power?
>>2863851It says 70W but it's probably the peak efficiency anyway. There's no way a 1Kg battery isn't better and OP is being a huge faggot
>>2863855Ok, so probably 55W in decent conditions.Bring a power bank, OP.
>>2863850I record the entire hike so that customers can see what it's like before they buy it.
>>2863851>>2863855>>2863856It says it is 15-25w but testing in the field says it is more like 2-5w. That is irrelevant to me because I am building a 2.0 from the ground up starting with the prop.Let me just say again I do not need this. I carry power banks and a big blue I just think it is a very unique product and one that a non greedy person like me could improve, and for some people it will be better than a solar setup like the big blue. It's really not that serious guys but I wouldnt be surprised if someone here had one despite the sales stopping in 2023.
>>2863866just build it already it's literally a waterproof DC motor wired to a rectifier and then a buck converter. What are you waiting for ?
>>2863855>70Wno fucking chance, maybe if you routed an entire waterfall through it>>2863866>more like 2-5wthis is more like it, i almost believe this >I am building a 2.0 from the ground upits impossible, dont even bother trying. this is like those old scams about a self filling water bottle. technically it works but is comically impracticalsolar is better than this shit, lighter and fits nicely on the top of your pack
>>2863865>watches video>that's good enough
>>2863866>very unique product and one that a non greedy person like me could improveboots,,,with pizo heals,,batterys,,lights on the toes.,,,,bear alarm,,,toe warmers,,,upskirt cam,,etc.,,youlaff,,butits coming.
>>2863841Why people are getting tricked with the same scam schemes over and over again? The 99,99% of cool sounding thingamajigs are actually impractical and exist only to drain money from retards.Such a small turbine will produce minuscule and finding suitable place to use it will be tricky at best and impossible at worst. You'll be standing knee-deep in water for hours and waiting for your Ifag phone to slowly charge?
