Super nice water wheel.

Amazing Job Kris

This is gnarly good work

I think a lot of us would love to do what you have done, You are inspiring dude. But I think most of us are too scared to take the risk. You are living the dream, all be it a little hard sometimes, Still I love what you have done.

@7:00 I think you just need to hire someone that has good welding skills, increasing the size of the shaft when the welds aren't good isn't really going to help....

U a legend mate

I enjoyed this video, you are a brilliant man and your craftsmanship is awesome ❤ I'm now going to your channel to see what you've achieved in 2 years, I'm so excited .. Thankyou 😊

Nice job . What head from top to bottom

If the second centre point (for the second line) is chosen by eye on both sides, how do you know that they match up? Or is the other end measured somehow off the first? Thanks

Nice job You could make it to pound a water well

Amazing. Well done. Proper solarpunk :) We need to live more like this. Healthy lifestyle

Cool house

Why does the turbine appear to have a plug (with pins) and not a socket fitted ?

Legend.

All so beautiful and cozy too

Dreamy. It seems truly rewarding to have done this for yourself to enjoy.

No outhouse??

Do you need a licence at your place for „using“ the water, or can you just built a hydro and switch it on?

I've done the same experiment with my students. I showm them yours one. Y They've become your fan. They did try the same after getting impressed with you and your dedication . . Nice job. . Some suggestions ( that we did implement ) 1. Increase the diameter of that turbine wheel . This way it'll have more power to rotate the generator with the same amount of water. . 2. Add cooling system with the generator to add some to its efficiency as efficiency comes down with increasing temperature. You won't need anything extra . Just use that flowing water to keep it cool. But make sure to make it waterproof . 3. Change the shapes of waer bowls of the wheel to increase its efficiency. You must study about Hydel power generation turbines and their shapes.

Pretty pleased with that !

Hey Kris! Been watching since episode 1 of these series

Hello Sir is there a way of getting in direct contact with you ?

adding some gear ratio on the turbine to increase RPM should be work isnt it?

This guy is incredible just taking everything in his stride and getting it done

Incredible. The craftmanship and creative heart into your projects is very admired.

Hi Kris, maybe an idea to update your playlists, you have such an catalogue of videos it's hard to track for a newcomer where to find everything.

Guys, why did you built the water wheel like wild people 200 years ago??? Where is a big plastic case filled by foam for decreasing the noise and avoiding the spray losses?

You should be very proud of yourself ❤

Really good work. Have you considered berry bushes?, blueberries are simple to maintain and can also go around all the edges of the property, maybe something to consider and could provide a small income. Subbed.

Just checking - that 16a ceeform plug and socket on the wall - looks strangely like the socket is on the wall, and the plug is plugged into it. I know that can't be the case, as that would be against the electricity regs, and illegal, as the plug would have live accessible pins on it . I know you can get the right way round (wall mounted inlet plug) for caravans etc, It just looks like the bit on the wall is a socket for some reason.

I think even if the stub shafts were set into depth of your main flanges (6-8" into the barrel) or so it would have really reduced the cantilever/torqueing effect of the weight of the wheel on the weld.

absolutely good on you ! most of this self sustainable lifestyle everything is still based on a lot of not really healthy stuff like solar panels and anyway need for power system. plastics and any kind of industrial materials. still , good o u

a) lime putty + ashes + olive oil = soap. try it. b) most limestone is actually dolomite. the longer limestone has to age, the higher likelyhood that it has become dolomite. the temps required to thoroughly calcify dolomite are much higher than limestone because of the suspended iron and magnesium in the matrix. if you have access to HCl acid, put a small drip on the stone. if it reacts violently, you have limestone. if nothing happens, you have dolomite. if you can get your kiln to an even 900C, you should be good to go. If you get higher than 1300C, it will ruin the stone and the lime won't react with water as well. 900C is the sweet spot. id second someone elses recommendation that you should get a bellows on there and burn the stone for longer. since you have unlimited free energy on your homestead, there's no reason you couldnt build a machine to automate the bellows for you. c) id say give this project another go

any one czcams.com/video/uz2ggZ75a-g/video.html&pp=ygUNZnJlZSBlbGVjdHJpYw%3D%3D

Nice job, great work.

CZcamsrs claiming they live "off grid" is laughable to me.

wow thank you for your kindness!

Need a rubber sledge hammer

Kris, how would it go if you had slightly higher sides on the wheel so the buckets were lower than the sides, eliminating the water splashing over the sides, reducing the water striking the gearbox/generator cover and the shaft/plummer block bearing on the non drive side..

Power = ∆ Mass x H x G = ( kg / s ) x m x (m/s2) = watts ...

That winding you showed of the 3 phase alternator with the endshield removed, no phase insulation between phases and sustandard varnish on the winding which is suppised to hold the winding together/firm so the individual wires cannot rub,vibrate against each other. Also have a look at the winding connection to the output leads to see if there is any parallel connection of the individual winding wires...Keep up the great work, so so interesting.

like your creations great work bro all the best ! Like your water wheel generator !

You must be careful about the comments about Ch*na, you'll get in trouble in this day and age.

Woodruff key?

the big problem with a lot of companies and their products ratings is that they use "peak" ratings which is more often than not what they can handle for a couple of mins or so before going bang. they do this specifically to make their products look better or more powerful than competitors. i have seen in recent years especially with things like generators here in australia that companies are listing a running/continuous rating and a peak or surge rating where less scrupulous companies are only listing the peak rating. personally if i see something thats only listing a peak or max rating then i take a quarter off that as a safety buffer which hopefully prolongs the lifetime a bit. you can get some good stuff produced in china but ive found more often than not that if its a chinese company and not a name brand thats just made in china then it will be a cheap and inferior version and ratings arent to be trusted at all. even the chinese themselves know this and avoid a lot of their own products and instead go for western branded stuff

Kris, how about wearing gloves at least when moving big pieces of wood? :)

watched this when it came out, popped up on my feed again today and was worth a second watch. Thanks Kris, you've inspired another off grid guy in Australia to build their own wind turbine. Cheers

JUST THINKING !!! LOL 😂 !!! I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR ASS !!! FOR 3 YEAR'S NOW !!! LOL 😂 !!!
