Great to see that inverter back in business, very satisfying indeed. Let's just hope the inverter never disconnects its outputs for any other reason than high battery voltage, maybe you can find a way to clamp the input voltage directly to a max value somehow, maybe a mechanical rev limiter on the generator?
I messaged you on your “solar, wind, water” video just now, and I’m showering your other videos... I wanted to also mention that I have BOXES FULL -😂- (again) of mosfets and resistors and transistors and lions and tigers and bears oh my (also salvaged from other men’s trash, as this man’s treasure)..... you’re WELCOME TO AS MUCH AS YOU NEED. My email info is in the other message.
Can you not heat up some water as the dump load ? So as not to waste the excess or just buy another battery ! I hear good batteries for offgrid electrical are forklift cells.
With the water wheel, you shouldn't have to have a dump load. The water wheel is RPM limited so it should not over rev. To test that just run the wheel at max water flow and measure the turbine open circuit voltage output. Ensure the max open circuit voltage is less than the specified max solar input for the charge controller. The charge controller will just open circuit the turbine when it senses the battery if charged. However the wind is a different matter.
It is possible for the open circuit voltage to go above the 100 volt max of the controller. In one of my other videos I had around 113 volts. Also I don't want the waterwheel to free wheel at high RPM. In the future I may try to use the dumped power to preheat water going to my hot water tank.

I didn’t see an inverter in this vid that repaired a charge controller

@@kevincrawford2027 Fair enough. I'm keen to see the results of your ideas. I am thinking about fitting a cooling fan also.
@@kevincrawford2027 I was just going to say about a water tank
👍
can anybody please tell me what is the MOSFETs Amp and V
Why is he using a bench psu ? Very confusing video, explains nothing about what he's doing 🤷♂️🙄
