Great, thank you all for watching my video. Please click subscribe to the channel .
Thanks

The highest pressure water is at the very bottom of the dam. So the turbine should be below the dam. The turbine outlet should be vertical and upward into a pool to reduce the turbulence of the outlet stream and save the down river bed from erosion.

Just saying...

Cant wait for part 2: Mini Dam Colapse

Beavers near by are looking at you proud af

Very nice. Better get a rock buildup on the back of that dam where the water is falling or you'll have some erosion happen quick. Oh, 3 weeks ago.

Fatal error... Water falls near the dam foundation... The water will soon collapse the strength of the dam foundation.

The fact that all of this was done under 20 minutes is amazing

Now build a model village in the valley, then we'll see if the dam will be safe for the tiny villagers.

Francis turbines are intended to be used in high-head applications. Two feet doesn't qualify. And if you had mounted this a couple of feet lower, you could have doubled your power.

Props to dude doing all this work rocking some penny loafers! I love watching people build and create things like this, glad I found your channel!

[ReganBloomer]

Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality.

The whole point to life is to keep yourself busy and entertained until you die. Nice work.

Even though dams can be harmful to the environment, I think on scale like this is fine. I doubt any fish can swim up it as it looks pretty low to begin with. Interesting comments about the dam's long-term health in concern of supporting the base with a slope more.

All in all? Awesome project. 🤘

Machinist and carpenter guy here. That was awesome to see you work! I like your detail work and the way you actually muscle things into place. No weak spots from you, great job!
Also like the upcycled automotive alternator usage. Done the same thing before too! Motor windings are windings, they dont care what you use ithem on. Nice job, wish i could have helped on one, this is close enough though. I knew how to do all this, but you showed us the basic hand way with minimal tools, As I said before EXCELLENT work on a budget!
TLDR = Hand formed bricks, rebar, hyper attention to detail. Now thats dedicated!

Круто ! :) Только турбину нужно ниже поставить...

[babaganoush]

this looks great. dont listen to the negative nancies. you did well and i enjoyed it.

[rogerzubarik]

This is too cool!!!! Great job!!!! Truly not your first rodeo!!!

[kalenstone]

Do you leave each of these dams you build to help provide power to people who live in the area? If you do, how well do they hold up to the power needs? Is something like this a long term build or only temporary?

Thanks pal! Now whenever I say it's too much work to put up the Christmas lights, my wife shows me this video.
