I cannot get my generator to work. Does any one know how to get the water to fall evenly between the two inducers?

Hello and welcome to the forums

I'm not sure I understand your question: "how to get the water to fall evenly between the two inducers"? Water should be flowing through each of the 2 inducers. You should have 2 similar streams of water, one through each inducer.

Assuming this is what you have, is there a problem with turbulence when the water flows down through the inducer? Without reading in detail the experiment, I'm not sure how far above the inducer the dropper is placed. I think they are not far apart, but if yours are more than 1 or 2 inches apart, you might want to move the inducer closer to the dropper output.

Let us know what your apparatus looks like - could you maybe post of a picture of it? Even better, showing the problem? Thanks.
