Massive Trout Haul on the Upper Oldman River
The last in the video series from last years fly fishing trip to Southern Alberta. Chris and I dodged a major storm front and ended up fishing the Upper Oldman River for the day. And what a great choice! A massive haul of huge trout out of the river that day. The video only captures part of the catch.

Liam's First Trout on a Fly
zhlédnutí 203Před 3 měsíci
Another awesome day from last years Fly Fishing Trip to Alberta. We went fishing with Liam and his Grandfather (from our host family at the DU ranch) to a nearby ranch to fish a different part of the Oldman River. And we were not disappointed as Liam looted the Oldman River by catching his fist trout on a fly!

25 years ago I discovered the German artist Ralf Winkler Penck. I was so inspired by his primal cryptic stick like figures that I developed my own series. I produced a large number of images back then only to rediscovered them again 2 yrs ago in my studio. This is my first effort to bring them into the light of day in honour of my brother who passed away 2 years ago just after helping me to pho...

DIY Water Battery (AKA: Hydro Electric Power)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 lety
Just had to build my own water battery! A neat concept for storing energy using a water mass at an elevation and then discharging it through a turbine generator. The mini size I built isn't really practical, but it was a ton of fun doing it! Thank you Chris for the hose donations!

It would be nice to see it with a resister across the generater output if you had a decent output bye bye dvm since you are essentially using it as a load bank
Nice river. I may or may not have crashed my drone in the trees river fishing this summer as well 😂. Does it still work?
Gents I appreciate your passion for fly angling and sharing your experience. Please stop sharing all the locations in your videos. Additionally keep em wet and handle with care!!
Absolutely agree. These rivers see enough pressure, treat the fish well and don't monetize the location needlessly.
I know this spot very well ! And I'm a big Gordon Lightfoot fan and that is one of my favorite songs by him ! Thanks for the memories !!
So glad you liked the video and thanks for leaving a comment. Stay tuned for this seasons videos from this area coming in the near future.
it would be cool to hook the return line to a ram pump to refill the tanks on the hill. just a thought 🤔
Yes that's a very cool idea!
lol no way man, I’m literally yelling yo bear on the oldman all the time haha
How cool is that...love it!
Why can't they be bult those generators inside section's of pipe so you can spin lots of them on the way down through the pipe.
That's a really good comment. It would all depend on how much pressure (head) loss each each turbine created. I suspect that each one would create very little over all so I think several turbine could be viable at one time. Another idea to consider would be putting the turbines in parallel rather than in series as you suggested above. This might work even better. In the end one would have to try it all out to see which is best.
The best explanation ever.
Thank you for your comment.
Good memories to last a life.
Really cool video! I've made variations of similar setups. Just so you know. If you are curious to know the exact foot of head( difference in elevation) of your stock tanks and your Hydro set up. You can open the pressure gauge and keep your gate valve closed. This will effectively give you a PSI reading of just the fall of water from point A to point B. You can then take that PSI and multiply it by 2.31 and it will give you an approximate elevation difference. Nice build!
That's awesome. Thanks a million for the input on this. Much appreciated!
I would like to hook this up to a battery but cannot find any useful videos , do you have a battery you would recommend so I can use this generator to charge a power bank
Great question. But I have to admit I too would probably just go to CZcams and start looking at DIY videos on building a battery charger (I did look and there are lots of them).
Hello Man, what is that thing called? the color yellow,dynamo motor? Im going to make a project.tnx
Here's the exact title/name from Amazon "Water Turbine Generator Micro Hydroelectric Power Generator DIY LED Power Charging Tool DC 0-80V 10W (80V)". Thanks for your comment.
Beautiful scenery and video.
love it love it love it
Thank you so much for your comment!
I'm curious if it's possible for this to be a closed system that can cycle the water endlessly and produce power continously.
You can, actually. I have a similar set up to this. I made a RAM pump that pumps water from a creek about 43' up a hill to a 275 gallon stock tank. About 3/4's of the way up I drilled a hole and sleeved 1 1/2" pvc into another stock tank that acts as my Hydro Battery. The water then falls down hill from that tank and powers a very similar hydro electric setup than this. The leftover water that passes through my electric setup is fed with a garden hose back down to the creek to be re pumped and cycled once more. The RAM pump is a passive pump that pumps continuously. The initial start up for me took about 48 hours to fill the stock tanks. After that, I have not touched it, and it has been running for about 2 months now.
@@morgunbrunelle4573what do you power with the hydro battery?
@@morgunbrunelle4573 That is totally a amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing your setup description.
Thanks for uploading man. There aren't too many videos on this subject sadly. I was wanting to do the math on a large scale system, but it is very technical, and confusing. Not a lot of helpful info on the subject, fun little project though!
Thanks for your comment! One of the main reasons for this experiment-fun project was to learn first hand about a system like this with the idea in mind of upscaling to something much larger. Which I still have plans to do. Looking at ways of creating a more viable size reservoir-battery and larger generator capacity.
Fun video, thank you for sharing. Electricity is fascinating stuff :)
Thanks for commenting!
Best PDCA explaination I've ever seen, thank you!!
Thank you for your comment!
This video is a prime example of engineering curiosity. Thanks for taking us for the ride!
Thanks so much for your comment. And you hit the nail right on the head...it's definitely engineering curiosity!

Love the effort you went through to demonstrate this. Thank you.
Huge thanks for your comment!
Love your teaching method! Thanks!
Thanks so much for your comment!
Hey Jim that was a really creative way of teaching👌.It really boosts the visual learning process
It makes for a good display.
It does for sure!
Looks like its ready to be put back to work
It does for sure!
So lovely and touchy ❤
Love the creative presentation
Great explanation, thank you
Sans*so cool So cool So cool

Cool, harks back to cave paintings.
Hi Riaan thanks for the comment! Yes that was the intent. Hope that you are well.
does adding another generator increase the amps generated
Great question! I am not a 100% sure on the answer. I guess one first has to think do you connect them electrically in series or parallel.
Missing you all...hope to catch up soon
Dabs!!!!!!! Wow great to hear from you! Yes let's catch up man!

Lol…Frankfurt one of my most memorable airports…I like to tell that story with lots of animation, and sound effects 😱😉🤣 thanks for the flashback.
Thanks for the comment Denise!
People always remember how you made them feel. Glad you were able to find peace after this experience. I am sure it was only a very small component of the much bigger picture, and the story also provides a great way to communicate this very important message.
Thanks Denise.
Love this!! So true…for better or for worse…beware the power of the word. Thanks for sharing 🙏
