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.

>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

It 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.

who the fuck does that ?
>Carrying kilos of charges batteries as you suggest is a ridiculous idea
as 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?

Good for you I guess, but that's a trivial project then

It 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.

>70W
no fucking chance, maybe if you routed an entire waterfall through it

>more like 2-5w
this is more like it, i almost believe this
>I am building a 2.0 from the ground up
its impossible, dont even bother trying. this is like those old scams about a self filling water bottle. technically it works but is comically impractical
solar is better than this shit, lighter and fits nicely on the top of your pack

Why 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?
