Its a shame to have shown tis as a great project ...but never disclose the COST. It leaves to many to just think that it is to expensive to want to do it....

That piece of land looks like a little slice of heaven! Thanks for sharing.

[GeorgeJetson]

This has been very educational. I've watched several videos on micro hydro designs, but yours is excellent. And thank you for the details and placing the land back in order. In 2-3 years, it will look untouched.
I only wish I had a stream on my land I could tap into. And the money. This is obviously a very expensive endeavor. But to be FREE and off the grid would be awesome!

[gregorythomas]

Yes! I have been keenly interested with this project...thank you so much for releasing Part 2 of this fascinating build!

[hbaykiwi]

Good job with the locate wire. I was thinking about that after the first video so glad you put one in.

[mungermid]

Very good video and scenery. What a project to be building.

[anthonyxuereb]

Wise words at the end, engage the services of the experts! Saves time, money, delays and frustration and well worth the fee.

[MrTolcher]

I’ve watched this a couple of times now purely because I enjoy the process and your narration

[hotshot]

Thank you for documenting this process. It's incredibly interesting and I hope people will find it in their own research for years to come.

A basic concept of service burial is to embed the services (pipes, wires) in sand. This minimizes the damage that you saw when just dumping the spoil back in the trench. Six inches below and a foot on top will give you adequate protection from the boulder size shown in the video. Doesn't have to be quality sand, can even be pea metal which is sometimes sought because it allows more independent movement for the pipes. You can also use a grizzly when excavating to separate the boulders out from the soil so that they either don't go back in the trench, or the operator can lay down a layer of soil before putting the boulders back in

[Biogasifier]

As always wonderful!! I’m excited for your videos or come!! Thank you for your quality produced videos on a subject that has such importance.

[Gerryweiers]

Thanks for the video! I really like the style you do your videos in.

[Vectrum]

can't wait to see what other kinds of micro-hydro systems you can find, and share with us. great video keep up the good work

[kevin]

Such a cool channel, thanks for putting these documentaries out there!

[networkdwarf]

Outstanding job, thank you for documenting the entire process.

[LeJimster]

I love seeing these systems being built. Only thing I wonder is the the turbine going to be left exposed. I would have thought a small building to protect it and also help muffle the sound of it running would be ideal in a place like that.

[mattjware]

Thanks for the video, glad to see it working!

[GeeCeeAte]

Amazing system!!! Love these videos!
I used AGMs and have learned so much the hard way. Put balancers on them as soon as you can. That 100$ will save you thousands!
My 1600 AH bank went unbalanced in a few months and went bad. Every wire was the exact length down to the mm but the front batteries wer charging 2v higher than the last ones. Wish I would have known about balancers then!

[jonathans]

this is great. it would be cool to be able to find someone who can build these in each US state, especially on this kind of scale. that system is just big enough to be beyond a DIY project but just small enough to be affordable for an upper-middle class family with the right kind of property.

[stefanmeier]

Thanks for taking us through the process. Great accomplishment
