Okay hear me out. You are losing power by choosing the small hole. Make larger fans and take advantage of the larger circle. Larger fans mean faster spin at center. Faster spins means more power.
Exactly. That type of enclosure is designed to take advantage of the leverage developed around the outside of the circle. That leverage translates into torque, which is lost by putting the impeller in the small tube.
First time I’ve seen masonry work done by a man wearing slacks and a dress shirt. Very cool video and hats off to any man who can build his own impeller. That whole project would have taken me forever because I try to make everything perfectly level, plumb, exact, etc. I need to remember that good enough is good enough.
Rednecky version of this.... I need a welder, some angle iron, some steel tubing, steel plating, 6 to 8 55 gallon drums, 2 old boat props(preferably matching), 2 car alternators, an inverter, the heavy gauge cable for the power supply, a crapton of silicone, concrete for the barrier wall then build a burm on top of the hydroelectric units so it's all hidden underground simply with a junction box to control the gates and on/off power and a shore power cord coming out. Very well hidden but powerful dam.
@@Chien-Tran This is a great design using minimal complex parts. Of course any design can be improved but I'd agree that the simplest improvement could be done by putting the prop deeper in the drain shaft and maybe a slightly wider drain shaft (assuming the stream can produce such water. I'm no engineer though but that was the first thing that struck me (a deeper prop shaft). You've got amazing talent for using simple materials to create the more complex parts you need. Very nice! I wish I had a place to create my own hydro power!
So a few tips, the outer wall should be reinforced with a thick layer of cement as well as a thin layer in the inside. Preferably add an inner coat of latex rubber to act as a seal. Those small bricks will get ripped up over time with running water. Any little micro hole will act as a turbulence catch a long the walls.
I have to say it: this is absolutely one of the most constuctive, informative and meaningful *comment section* of any video I've ever watched on youtube! I've learned as much from you guys geeking out on the construction tweaks in the comments as I've learned from watching the video. Thanks so much to the commenters!... And great video, by the way - I love good content like this.😄
I'm not a hydrology expert but it looks like the spillway and turbine structure might need a layer of gunnite concrete to prevent water leakage and errosion
Consider using the head pressure of the dam and putting the inlet towards the bottom, and maybe something close to a pelton wheel for the turbine to dramatically increase efficiency. This setup is cool, but all that height is being wasted. Or use an aggressive ramp down to increase velocity.
That's awesome work bro, love watching you build mini constructions. Works just like it should, I bet if you lowered it in the river you would have enough flow to power a turbine large enough for your house. Can you look into combining these skills with a Hydroponics set-up it would be a game changer for us "off grid" homesteaders
Вы поняли, что это игрушка? Только для видосика. Мало того, что никакой пользы не принесёт, так ещё и конструкция с инженерной точки зрения не продумана. Хотя бы даже по расположению турбин. Энергия воды используется процентов на 10.
They are emulating the turbulant style mini-hydro... the whole precept is low head pressure pen stock water falling through a high pitch(torque) turbine, you are correct as well though especially since the "scale" of this project ;)
Look at a company called turbulent hydro - these kind of vortex hydro generators work off of corialis water spin and not absolute head pressure, and are more efficient in low head scenarios such as this.
Установка сделана немного неверно. Это -демонстрационный фильм, чтобы показать, как работает идея. Сама установка малоэффективна, потому как: - построина без учёта закона Кариоллиса; - работает без подпора гидростолба, т. е - самотёком. А так, в целом, идея интересная. Можно построить на любой сточной канаве.
All the small villages in New Hampshire and Maine for many years had their own electricity generated from the various small rivers that pass through town. So for many generations people had told free electricity although they weren't powerful enough to run more than a few houses and Farms
@@scotsmanofnewengland7713 Williamsberg Mass, isn’t anywhere near Monroe. And while it’s an interesting story, it more about a lack of maintenance and poor design. Back in those days, (the 1800’s) engineering wasn’t exactly at its peak.
A lot of small mills in my area used to produce their own power as well. They mostly dissolved after consumer line power arrived. Maintaining your own hydroelectric plant large scale is a full time day job in itself. People got sick of repairing them, connecting to the grid was just easier.
@@Th3_Gael no, you can put the generator rotor and stator inside the propeler, and then, only two wires are going out perpendicular. This way you don't need 2 bearing.
@@DGDG0000000 that same setup works at the bottom too Edited to add, there are efficiency gains by having it at the bottom, not a lot but why lose that efficiency
Did you check the power output of this? How many Watts it produces? I suspect with better design and lower location of the impellers, the wattage could be doubled.
@@Chien-Tran nice. I thought this would be a an insignificant amount of energy, but when push comes to shove this could be crucial in an apocalypse scenario or maybe just to save Slightly on the electric bill. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it could power a fridge but it could charge batteries and keep the lights on
There are a number of flaws with this design, including an inability to deal with an increased flow which will overwhelm the system and overtop the dam. A better way of doing it would be to put a weir AFTER the turbines. A weir is a dam that is designed to be overtopped, intended to keep the water level behind it at a certain minimum. The weir would be high enough to ensure there's always water going through the turbines, but also provide an unrestricted overflow if the water level gets too high.
when you say after are you saying downstream? how tall should the weir be relative to the top of the dam (the two concrete blocks he has stacked) just upstream of the turbines?
@@deathadder I would refer you to a design of power turbine that exist at Dixon, Illinois, USA. The weir sits at the floor level of the turbine, and the Rock River slowly churns the 5 turbines at the power house. Any excess flow goes past the powerhouse in the river over a weir, mitigating any flood risk to the power house.
@@deathadder The basic vertical entrance pipe to the turbines would remain the same. The weir would be at a height that would ensure the entrance to the turbines would always remain submerged. Then the turbine pipe would go down and dump the water back into the stream after the weir, channeling in from the sides.
he kinda have it with oveflow pipe in the middle that is there to take the rest that turbines cannot. Still I think you are right and one more block up with long ramp going though the middle, would make sure that water surging overtop will not damage anything. RIght now, if that dam will be topped over he risk damage, but maybe he dont plan on keeping this.
This is something I wuz thanking about! But also have a water wheel. Even directing a creek around the property as a mote. Conducive to growing water loving trees and plants along the banks, tapering to a flat on the edges for rice and such where baby fish can have refuge. Etc., Etc.
remember your hydraulic properties, if you narrow the opening the end result is what? yes a supercharged pressure at the end, why lawn garden nozzles taper down, to supercharged that flow, then it hits your impeller blades, if the pipe is the same diameter the water never flows any faster than what it can reach in that short fall distance, BUt of you taper the end at the turbine the water is supercharged and 10 times faster with more force as well, hydraulics 101
In the first video the guy creates fire in the second video the guy fires clay into molding dishes. And the third video the guy converts iron ore into Steel. In the fourth video the guy converts the steel into a hammerhead and a blade. And the fifth video the guy cuts wood into the shape of a hammer handle and mounts it on the Hammerhead. In the sixth video he builds a dam
yeah nice work, BUT :D 1. Use a bigger fallpipe :P 2. the turbine should be at the bottom of the pipe, there you got the higest speed. ( Add a stabilizer turbine in the middel of the shaft to reduce vibrations) 3. Havy rain will overflow that system, place a weir after the turbine sink 4. The walls need to be flat, you create on every corner a vortex wich slows water speed and will breake your build in days (the water flow just washes out the concrete).
Tremendo proyecto; porque la idea ya existia posiblemente 100 años atras desde Tezla. Pero, si tomamos este proyecto y llevamos todos los datos a una computadora y medimos cuanta energía produce( cosa que el ni hizo) y mejoramos el diseño y tamaño de la turbina, el ancho, curva y angulo del canal y la cantidad de flujo del agua, entoces... Esto se convertiría en un gran pero gran proyecto.
First time seeing one of your videos. I know some other people have made suggestions for improvements. I just want to say that's pretty damn cool my man. that turned out pretty awesome! the electrically actuated gates had me laughing. nice additional touch!
Very impressive work with rudimentary tools and supplies, which almost anyone can acquire. There is pure talent, experience, and ingenuity displayed here in its construction. Question: How much electricity is produced by this?
Theoretical max is around 100 W (10 liters/sec over a 1 m fall). I would guess practical max is maybe 30 W. I agree, impressive work, but needs to a lot bigger to be really useful. The best way to improve it would be to find a really low point, say 30 m below the inlet, draw a pipe there and put the turbine there instead.
I hope you have lots of children. Or you are a teacher. This sort of hardworking ingenuity is being bread out of humanity. Using strings of LED lights to show the lines when they are live is cheap and efficient. When an engineer designs something, part of the process is material sourcing. You created nearly every cog in the system. And from watching you I would bet if you didn't have Portland cement on hand that you would have made a mix of ash and lye to make your own. Thank you for the excellent video.
@@Chien-Tran This is such a cool project. I also agree with cullis102, since what you are taking advantage of is potential energy, the formula of which =m*g*h (m = the mass of the falling object, g = acceleration due to gravity, h being the height of the potential fall.) The main variable here you can easily play with would be the height of the fall.
@@aztecharomor Not necessarily. The height of the pipe is what matters in the energy calculation, not where the turbine is placed. All the water below the propeller helps pull down the water above the propeller by the use of suction. Another way to think about it is that the flow rate through the pipe is constant at all parts of the pipe.
@@Th3_Gael Only applies when the pipes are full. There are also other advantages to having the turbine at the bottom. But the difference in power isn't as big as you might think.
I am so amazed by your skill and tenacity. You have your own power source now. With a few refinements over time, you will be able to harvest more power from nature. Well Done!
He is in Vietnam and may not have completed University, but some of his other expirements are awesome, and I think he is learning, which more important than the actual expirement.

very clever! think you could generate more power by putting the turbine blades at the bottom of the downpipe. the water would have a gravity assist as well. if i ever get to have somewhere with flowing water, i'm definitely doing something like this!
The problem would be if there were any backflow or flooding at the bottom, it would stop the turbines. Perhaps midway down would be a good compromise. Extra pressure and protection from minor flooding.
И вообще - ставить да, одну турбину, но вихревого типа. И с неё мощность была бы раз в 10 больше... Даже здесь если бы турбины были не канальные, а вихревые, мощность можно было бы снимать большую.
Меня ещё смущает, что электроника не имеет гидроизоляции, есть протечки в конструкции и нет центровки валов турбин. Иными словами, задумка интересна, но совсем не долговечна.
Awesome skills. It works but you can get it a lot more efficient. Instead of putting the impellers at the top, put them at the bottom. Turn the spirals into a ramp down to them gradually shrinking into into a pipe. The drop of the water would add velocity, the shrinkage into a nozzle would add pressure. Use wooden spoons as the blades to the fan to catch the high pressure and veocity water to turn the generators. You have some serious skills and I like the way you like to build for durability.
I was thinking the same thing, make the impeller shafts longer, putting the impellers at the bottom of the tube. That would take advantage of more water head, or fall/weight pushing on them.
This is AMAZING. Why do I feel so limited that I feel like I cannot replicate this. WTH, is holding me back from making stuff, experimenting and most importantly, JUST STARTING and DOING...Ugh. Fantastic video
I think it's better to put the generator lower, if you put the generator at a lower place, the water will pass the generator at a higher speed, so more gravity potential can be changed into electrical energy.
Okay hear me out. You are losing power by choosing the small hole. Make larger fans and take advantage of the larger circle. Larger fans mean faster spin at center. Faster spins means more power.
Thanks for your idea!
Right.
Or chose Tesla Trubine.
@@vinsariez9692 no just no
Exactly. That type of enclosure is designed to take advantage of the leverage developed around the outside of the circle. That leverage translates into torque, which is lost by putting the impeller in the small tube.
Take into consideration he may have used spare parts to make the two power generators.

Fun video. Shame all the keyboard experts/critics are taking it way too seriously
Thank you so much 😀
I hope this is a permanent structure on somebody’s land. This is amazing! Thank You!
Thank you so much 😊
No it can't last but it's brilliant none the less.
@@fredjones7705 itll barely make any energy if he put it down stream he could have a ton of water pressure but he decided to put it at the waterline
Awesome skills. It works but you can get it a lot more efficient. Instead of putting the impellers at the top, put them at the bottom. Turn the spirals into a ramp down to them gradually shrinking into into a pipe. The drop of the water would add velocity, the shrinkage into a nozzle would add pressure. Use wooden spoons as the blades to the fan to catch the high pressure and veocity water to turn the generators. You have some serious skills and I like the way you like to build for durability.
I was thinking the same thing, make the impeller shafts longer, putting the impellers at the bottom of the tube. That would take advantage of more water head, or fall/weight pushing on them.
Thanks 😊
What power is it producing?
It says they are hydroelectric.
1.21 gigawatts
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! perfecto!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Now go down below it and build another one, with the rushing water, Like stairs, another, another
Thanks 😊
I wonder if the Coriolis effect will make the one turbine more efficient then the other?
There aren't any effects at all
Wow keren
Thank you so much 😊
People upstream: Why won't my toilet flush?
This Guy: Powah!
Unbelievable creativity! Great idea!
Thank you so much 😀
First time I ever realized they have different size bricks. Lol.
Thank you very much 💖💖💖
My local government would tear that up so fast.
Thank you so much 😀
the music is the best
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️
Very, very smart man
Thank you so much 😀
What a tiny cute brickies. And the wall-e was built. Cool :-)
Thank you 🤗
You just destroyed the whole ecosystem of that stream.
Thank you so much 😀
Làm xong ít bữa nữa lại phá ra xây cái khác phải không !
Интересно, но непонятно - зачем ?
When you don't stagger the bricks it will fall apart
imagine if you made multiple layers right down the river
Thank you so much 😀
My mans here is really out here in a collared shirt doing masonry. Someone please get this man some coveralls.
Thank you so much 😀
This is AMAZING. Why do I feel so limited that I feel like I cannot replicate this. WTH, is holding me back from making stuff, experimenting and most importantly, JUST STARTING and DOING...Ugh. Fantastic video
Thank you! 😃
Looks good just seems alot of work for some led lights
Thank you so much 😀
You have the idea, and the work effort, but no perfection for higher efficiency
Thank you so much 😀
I think it's better to put the generator lower, if you put the generator at a lower place, the water will pass the generator at a higher speed, so more gravity potential can be changed into electrical energy.
Thank you so much 😀
@2:58 You have some pretty big Mosquitos there, don't you. Hear that thing?😄
All that for pretty fairy lights 😂
Thank you so much 🤗
Yes it's good.
Thank you so much 😀
Me drinking the water down the river💀👻☠️
Brilliant take on a nano scale, a coveted but pricey design, excellent
Thank you very much!
Каменщик кладёт на совесть
Stopping fish or wild life move back up river.But like idea
They won't be affected
Save the bricks, you can use old washing machine for that, and the inside is more hydrodynamic. They just need a little fabrication to work.
Thank you so much 😀
Very cool
Thank you so much 😀
