you have set me on a path I feel like I cannot diverge. When I look at my next home, my list of needs has increased to "water source at elevation". Thank you for ALL of your videos and your ability to share information.

[jakubtrzebiatowski]

One of my dreams to have a micro hydro power plant. Cheers

[jbthesfm]

What an amazing idea for off-the-grid power!! Love it!!

[DNS]

Great to see you back mate, hope you are recovering well. Cheers.

[candypettus]

Thank you for this detailed and informative video. I have seen several of your videos and am always impressed. Someday we might proceed with such a system here at Waiotemarama Falls Lodge, Opononi, Northland, New Zealand. Cheers, mate.

Very interesting. First time I have seen that weir construction method - no temporary diversion and dewatering - it looks effective. That is a confidently executed scheme, I am sure it will do what it should, good work.

[Joebanker]

Man I love this! This is your previous build 2.0 on mega Steroids!! Can't wait to watch the whole project unfold. Give that finger to the electric grid. Awesome stuff.

[saebbi]

Very informative, not much micro hydro about all this anyway, it will be a very efficient system! thanks, and greetings from geothermal and hydro electric Iceland

[williamlogan]

Very informative, I really enjoy your videos, thank you…

[Vectrum]

love seeing different types and size of micro-hydro

[nimocenit]

awesome vid as always...thank you for sharing..

I have 147' of fall, in 1/4 mile, using a 3" delivery line, and am permitted for a max of 95 GPM non consumptive use, that works out to about 850 watts with my Harris hydro pelton wheel, 17 years in operation now, grid tied. I have a stainless collection box, a HydroScreen (made by a guy name of Bob Weir, how cool is that) that was simply placed under the county culvert at the top of my property, with a telescoping 8" tube with in a tube to give high water adjustments, so not one bit of disturbance to the stream. My water resources board here in Idaho made it real clear (pun intended) they did NOT want to see any construction work that involved heavy equipment and/or silt going into the stream.

Wow, such a clean job . Your video are inspiring to create. Instant subscribe

If that stream has fish in it this project, just wrecked the streams habitat for all fish .
This wouldn't get away with this is the Pacific NW - Alaska and Idaho where salmon & Steelhead migrate

[hypotheticalradioactivedwa]

That is an awesome project! I am just getting interested in the world of Hydros, so please tell me why there was a Z-shaped pipe forcing the water upwards at the end. Doesn't that drop the speed of the water making the turbine slower?

[Ajwatters]

Thank you for uploading this, do you have an update on your micro hydro system and how that is fairing.

I would like to know what legal hoops you had to jump through to damn off a natural waterway. Where we are I don't think the envernmental agency would ever concider it. What dose your neighbour say considering the creek is mostly on his property. Water wights can be a scary thing to mess with.

[rud]

Hey you are back. Have been waiting for years.

[EASTENDGLEN]

Awesome, this is how to live with nature.

[Gasdoc]

How much did this project cost and what is the power output?
