Unique mini hydropower design with two units

You need to put the turbines as low as possible otherwise you basically waste all the potential energy stored in the water. If you place the turbines on top of your dam, it does not make any sense to build the dam in a first place. In your case the power output is the same as turbine in the river, which is basically none. Also the water from the overflow cannot just fall down to the base of the dam, it will destroy the dam in a few weeks.

While many of us here knows better and can do better theoretically, this guy just practically showed a functional example even when it's not perfect. Maybe he scarcely graduated from an urban school and many here studied in Cambridge. Let's appreciate his work. 👌

Lots of people don't understand that sometimes we make things just for the pleasure of doing it. really impressive. chapeau

If you have to redo it, place the turbines in the bottom of the wall and have the valve behind the turbines. You can try to build a smooth nuzzle to increase the speed of the water so that the genarator can turn faster. You should also use fins and a curved wall (curvature into the Water side of the dam) to support the structure. You also could use gears to increase the speed and with that the voltage of the generator

Whenever I see this stuff I always think....How awesome it is to have your own land.

How fun is this!?! I love these projects! This is how I would want to spend my retirement years. These are a joy to watch.

You need to post night shots of these dams, they must be beautiful! Great job!

I think the key here is that he likes building things and could care less about the power output. He never shows batteries, inverter or power output. He did a good job and gets lots of views. It is fun for him.

Impressive. Try placing your turbines at a lower part of the funnels, it will harvest more power due to high kinetic energy there.

I don’t know too much about hydroelectric power or it’s designs but I definitely give this gentleman an A+ in effort and ingenuity. Bravo good sir👏👏

I love that man's creative genius that he has put to practical use,no matter of how he could have done it better,, the fact is this man rather than waisting his time put his God given brain 🧠 to work and put together a device that actually makes electricity,, and I agree with that person that mentioned that it would be a great place for school kids to come and visit to see what a person can do when they apply themselves and not wait for some sort of entitlement,,, good job there buddy,,God bless you and thank you for that video 😊

Looks like a really fun project. My general improvements would be to make the brick wall curve into the water for extra strength and lower the turbines

This is awesome! The only improvement is to let the water drop further before hitting the turbine blades (more kinetic energy = more electricity)!

Despite whatever "flaws" in the Physics, demonstrates clearly: Where there is a WILL, there IS a WAY. Human INDUSTRY and attention to detail at its finest, and a righteous sense of HUMOR. 👍👍👍 I can hear the voices murmuring in the ethers: I wish I'd thought of that!

Can someone please buy this guy a pair of shoes?

beautiful, wonderful... if you put the propellers in the bottom of the well, and control the flow of the vertical tube at its base, you can have much more energy.

What an excellent craftsman this guy is ! It would be very easy to increase the power output just by mounting the impellers on a longer shaft (with additional bearing to keep it central) so they are at the bottom of the overflow pipes , but that and the comments about the longevity of the design aside, it really is excellent craftsmanship !!

I pride myself on being mechanically and technically competent in a range of fields, I could wire up the electrical side of this project with no problems. But here I learn that it's also very handy to have the skills to build the kind of structures which allow you to put those mechanical/technical systems to good use. Now I want to learn how to lay brick and cement render like this guy! Cool project!

The dog makes the video 1000000000 times cooler 🥰
