The blue barrel will vent air I assume. That should be good for the water arriving at the turbine I think.

Taller stand pipe should fix it.

That looks awesome. Good job dude. And Clay Pigeons is very fitting

Don’t understand why you have put in that blue drum… has no fuction, only pressure loss. Better to have sediment venting just before turbine

Question: Why add that 90-degree angle to the main jet when you can have it go straight into the jet for more pressure?

A silt filter barrel should never be located in the drop section of a drive pipe, resulting in loss of head pressure. In best practice the free water level of the silt filter barrel is the start height of the drop section of your drive pipe. Relocating the silt filter barrel up the hill next to the collection will increase the head pressure and so also your power output at the generator.

I have seen that they just install a stand off pipe that T's into the main line

I B C tank instead of barrel have raised up higher fed with a ramp pump double your downward pressure

5amp @ 24V is the same Wattage as 10A @ 12V just FYI

You should be able to increase the pressure by removing the 90 deg elbow at the turbine. Awesome setup and build!

Matt, do you have any information on the design of the generator/turbine? I have a creek very similar to yours and I love your whole design. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What brand charge controller....thx steve

hi from Papua New Guinea. Just want to ask if you can tell us What's is the head? What is the flow rate? The pressure at the hydro? How many appliances you can power using this setup and for how long?

Relocate the barrel up to the screen like I have done. It shouldn't have any pressure on it.

information. in order to minimize transmission losses, the wild AC from an alternator Should be run, to near where the power processing hardware will be located. cheers

The goal IS as much water pressure as gravity can produce, by venting the blue drum you are losing efficiency / power. Obviously you need to re-engineer and improve that lid and even the barrel perhaps.

4:35 If the blue vessel is at 20 degrees (tilted) and the tube reaches the bottom, the sediment is automatically drained

Keep at it my man

Algorithm brought me here. I watch some microhydro videos like Joe malovich, Kris harbour, Pierre et Malouin, loftis of six, etc. Thanks.

You're doing a great job !Give me a call if you would like some help with your alternative power Hydro Or Solar 843-319-4830 Spencer

movie aspect ratio 1: 1 - I admire.

your going to want a second outlet and nozzle for high and low flow times, also a bigger diameter pipe to the barrel when you move it wouldn't be a bad ideal to build more head pressure.. The pipe S curved across the field is a interesting way to help build more fall pressure, nice.. Is that under load pressure..? I do worry about ice build up in your set up in the winter time, but you have many months to deals with that possibility

You can leave both controllers on as the 12v system will charge first when upto voltage the controller will release the pull down on turbine and the 24v system will charge that or have a mppt between the 24v and the 12v or even a 2nd turbine one 24v the other 12v

You have a few options I see enlarge the jet add more jets or even a 2nd turbine

I really like your duel voltage setup.

No do not close off the vent line. The line NEEDS to be open to allow air through. But if the vent (head) pipe is vertical up to the height just above the water level of the supply/filter box, all the will go up and out, but you will retain ALL of the head from the water level at the supply/filter box.

Yes I would definitely replace the blue drum. It needs to take the full head from the supply/filter box. In theory only air should travel up and out of the top of the (head) pipe, but is reality water surges up and down the (head) pipe. The hose out the top of the drum needs to be able to cope with all of the flow to the blue drum. So when you close the turbine off all the water can flow up to the top of the (head) pipe, and not pressurize the blue drum. The top of the (head) pipe should be a height just above the water level at the supply/filter box. This will allow all the air to escape up and out of the line. That will give you maximum potential down at the turbine. I have been working with my system and found setting it up as I have described is best.

Awesome

Very cool buddy again super smart

Thats spray will definetly power it up

Super cool buddy very smart

Great video! Thank you. I have a question, if you are using a pelton wouldn’t you want to get as much pressure you could at the turbine? If so, wouldn’t putting the barrel so far away from the intake box reduce the amount of pressure you would get at the turbine?

U r idot ,where project working

Do you have a clean out plug or pipe on that blue barrel?

Congrats Lilly! From the UK

i think your going to be surprised by home much air you get into system and wish you had put the barrel closer to the intake box. Are you going to do anything about possible wash out around the intake base, such as sides and a discharge..?

You did great for your fist video post... I loved that song... I am going to share on my Facebook, hoping it will get you some more followers...

Who’s the chap on the guitar? Very talented, one of my fav films Last of the Mohicans! 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice setup. Are you planning a water wheel (I heard so in the video) or a pelton like turbine ? The question arose because you are bringing in water from such long distance for a water wheel.

great update, nice editing to mate. good luck with it all.

Looking nice. I have had great success with the fence post at the connection of the poly pipe for support.

I'll be installing your type of barrel in my system shortly.

It's looking good. There is always room for adjustment. How it works in theory is different in the real world sometimes.

Loving the GD tune great job sir self reliance is very important

Now where's water

I agree with your idea to use all of the head by keeping the sediment barrel pressurized, but I wonder how that lid will cope with the pressure. Maybe you should have had it closer to the pick up, with less head. I'm sure you will sort it out.

First to view.

nice first video buddy. it takes some getting use to talking to a camera. keep at it. looks great from here. liked and sub'd
