Recently a hydro has been installed in my town, I done calculations should make approximately 16KW. 140x20x9.81=26,468 with %60 efficiency = 15880 rounded to 16000 = 16KW
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Ryder Julien Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
that is awesome... wonder whats the price tag on that project all together and what you think is the life span of it? So far, I seen hundreds of nice videos with Turgo and Pelton turbines... just wondering, how long it goes until the bearings are burned out, any idea? I mean, the rpm's are incredible...
+Marty M. Hi, This project has now been running for a year and we may replace the bearings as part of its annual maintenance regime, depending on how they are doing. The main bearings are standard cartridge bearings available for a few pounds. The turbines also have an automated grease lubrication system that needs an annual recharge. Typical project costs depend hugely on site specific factors but might typically cost >£20k
The lousy in feed to the pen stock is the reducer of psi, a solid head of water would not have air and provide a smother and stronger psi to the turbines.
Why wouldn't you just run the back pipe into the mill pond? Like have it draw from maybe a foot or two off the bottom of the pond. There would be no air bubbles, no debris, and you would benefit from a lot more pressure.
Very nice for a low head solution to power needs. Are you satisfied with the Power Spout turbines so far? I have considered buying them for when I do my project but have not got enough data on them yet. It looks like the more the merrier? Jim
Did he state the cost? If it’s supplying 100% of the house power and particularly if it’s under a generation tariff, then seems to be exactly what I’d want. I’m quite jealous as it happens
thanks for posting. some very late thoughts for you and your subs. this installation is great, except . . . the MANIFOLD for the jet delivery piping is a disaster. a LOT of energy is being lost in that manifold. and wouldn't three jets per be as good. hope there was a discount on this installation. 350el, you may have followed powerspout's model, this time. next time, use a more efficient plumbing design. cheers
@@HarryL2020 Still haven't got a clue have you? If you has an electric bill of say £1,000 a year, which is close to what mine is. For the investment of say a few hundred pounds, time, effort and then parts investment of a few thousand to offset a supply by 2 Kw per hour, or 48Kwh a day potential... "do the math" how much is that in domestic supply that you can offset? The average household pulls 14 Kw per day off the grid, if you are producing 48 Kw a day, then your pumping in to the grid and going to get money back off the utilities. In a couple of years, its paid for itself, the maintenance of the system, PART OF THE DEAL you idiot, so that cost HAS to be built in and most reasonable people would buy what they need and then spares on top so that they are able to effect repairs, only twats build a system that uses up all the parts, leaves a unit on back up, etc, sizing of systems, poor utilisation of resources and too many people not taking advantage of things like tesla turbines that require very little input energy to get spinning up to 200,000 rpm or something silly. The amount of energy and torque you can pull from a boundary layer method is possibly a better way to go. High torque means you can spin up a fly wheel which means you can then use inertial on a generator or the set up designed so that the energy is used to pump the water up to a higher elevation. Gravity can be utilised in many ways and energy extracted at various points. I have looked at all sorts of methods of energy recovery and hydro is just one area that can be improved upon through people experimenting and also applying, so fucking what if the set up is a low yield, so friggin what, whats your beef with it? Not good enough? Overly opinionated aren't we... One mans goose and all that buddy. So what part of cretin are you? The butt hole or the bellend? Snowflake, ffs, go blow your penstock...
Are you able to offer an update as to how the total system is performing 6 years later?
Awesome
Cost a lot but return over a few years will pay for the investment!
Hope you lock tighted the threads on spoons on water wheels!

@Ryder Julien It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Uriah Camdyn Glad I could help =)
Do you have a rough idea of the head in meters on this setup? Very neat setup !
+Darren Lobb Apologies that I've just seen this post. It was just under 10m.

3:07 .... psi? couldnt hear what the number was. eight.. something?
yes eight. dynamic head is quite low with all valves open.
thanks for such a quick answer. what would the static pressure be. what is the head of this installation?
the head on this project was a little under 10m, So about 1bar.
1bar = ~14psi in case anyone reading this later is curious about the sudden change in units ;)
I wouldn't be able to avoid the temptation to use solenoids to control flow
And wifi
Very nice!

Hi Its 2020, so 5 years on and the system is still running well.
So can you purchase this system?
All systems have a custom manufacturing element
What are the dimensions for your generator room?
Just big enough to hold what's in there....
Buen día, puedo obtener información en español. Gracias
seems an expensive installation for a relatively low power generation.

Why them ribbed pipes I'd expect smooth pipe inside pipe so water doesn't hit a edge 🙂
670watts per turgo not bad
If you want to make it too just use InpliX handbooks.
A much simpler system going over the weir could have been used
U could run one of them bad boys off a gravity bottom drained koi pond would provide enough power to run an aerator 😂😂
NOTE: Take dramamine before watching!
This guy has no filming skills whatsoever!
Really nice system. Well thought out.
8psi? why bother with a hydro XD
Ha ha ha
8 PSI when running fully open...
Do you know the head pressure when not producing power?
No, then shut up.
@@thepvporg with the amount this would cost it isn't worth it... Better off with a low head generator.
Sorry I melted you snowflake.
