Clamp and frame The next thing was to make the pivoted clamp (the photo above was taken part way through construction). The sides are a cleft ash branch which was a bit small in diameter (2 inches), hence the thin pivot pegs in photo above - which have now been replaced by 5/8 inch diameter turned ones. Similar worry about the bottom brace/ foot rest (on right, hawthorn), so I fitted a half round horizontal which puts the strain on the sides of the clamp frame, not the brace tenons.

The work piece clamp (left, oak) is flattened on one side, and round on the other with a notch to hold poles etc.. You may need some method of holding the frame together, but possibly allow it to be parted easily to move the clamp (as in this design). As mentioned, I fitted a locating bar at the top of the frame, but you could also fit pins in the ends of the clamp tenons (for example). Development The finished item is shown at the top of the page, and is holding together well. Making Woodworking Tools. Woodworking By Hand. Daiku Dojo -- Japanese Woodworking Group. Hydrobee Harvests Water Energy for USB Power to Go by Burt Hamner. The idea for Hydrobee came naturally. The co-founders of Hydrobee SPC, Burt and Dane, first worked together at Hydrovolts, a company Burt founded in 2007 to make hydrokinetic turbines for big water systems like irrigation canals. Burt hired Dane as the industrial designer. After Burt grew the company to 11 people Hydrovolts was sold to one of its investors early in 2013.

Burt had learned that some makers of hands-free faucets and toilets are using tiny turbines in water pipes to power the remote sensors. And he saw that USB is becoming the global power standard for phones and billions of gadgets. Then he had a big idea: tiny turbines for USB power! Reverse the whole concept of hydropower: Don't try to make the the most power from single sites - make the minimum power from the most sites for the most people.

Burt rebuilt a small turbine from a water flow-meter and confirmed that it made over 18V from his home water faucet, enough to charge several phones at once. Soda-sized for a reason! Grinders & Sanders - All kinds. Woodland Craft Supplies.
