    A trick to remember is that the rubber of the belt will gradually dry out with the sun and heat. Mitigate this by coating it with some vaseline. Just get a chip brush and coat it. It works well with anything rubber, car door gaskets, fridge gaskets, etc. . Vaseline was born from the creation of gasoline as a byproduct of the process. It keeps the rubber suple and oiled up...

      Thank you for sharing that helpful trick! Coating the rubber with vaseline sounds like a great way to extend its lifespan. By the way, if you're looking for a reliable power backup solution for your outdoor adventures, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and even waterproof technology. Definitely a game-changer for camping and RV enthusiasts!

    There is "Something" very special about water wheels. Rather like watching the flames of a fireplace ... hypnotizing. It seems to me that this is an "old time" resource that can be brought up to todays standards of power generation. FANTASTIC video folks. Well done by ALL involved. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

  • @brianlindsay1386
    @brianlindsay1386 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Not a very good placement of your wheel. You should have it located down stream some what so that the top of the wheel is equal to the bottom of your reservoir. You proved it to yourself, by pulling the plug and dropping the water level a few inches you ran out of flow. You can only use the water when your reservoir is full. Should be down stream so that you have the whole reservoir to give you flow. Then you control flow out of the bottom with a valve. Look at any hydro dam set up and you will find the powerhouse at the bottom, not at the top. Great wheel though!

    Hi Channel Loftis. I really liked your water wheel and power generation projects. Very cool. I live in São Paulo in Brazil and here we have incredible hydraulic potential because we have several rivers. Although most of the power generation here in Brazil is from hydroelectric plants (approximately 85%). I also have a channel that I have several small-scale projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I'm sorry for my very bad English 😩😩. Hugs and much success in the projects.
