Love the comment on the washing machine about buoyancy vs gravity. Those are opposite forces. They could have just as easily said "It's hard to push down because it floats, and hard to pull up because of gravity."

WOW! The water turbine is SO MUCH BETTER than traditional dams!

1:43 that fish came out like, "WTF WAS THAT!".

[nancyasberry]

I would have liked to have seen how you wring the water out of the clothes for that portable clothes washer. She had jeans in there. I can't imagine they came out as anything except heavy and sopping wet.

Turbines yes but for the fishes no. One fish maybe but not several.
The Sion car is amazing. 👍🏻

I have been trying to purchase a TURBULENT HYDRO Electric turbine for the past 3 years. They do not actually sell to people and it is one of those businesses that only looks good on paper.
Maybe one day they will contact me? I do not know.

Well done.
Unlike the "Sh*t Shovelers" who just cut and paste other people's advertising behind stupidly loud free music, you guy(s?) actually put some work on these vids... Also importantly, you put in chapters!!! So that I can actually skip stuff that I am not interested in....
WELL DONE! SUBSCRIPTION EARNED!!!

The Nature's Head Composting Toilet I use it in my RV f0r years and safe water :)

[LazyBunnyKiera]

1 thing i hate about many solar system setups is that anti-island thing, where if the power grid goes out, you don't have power either. Your whole solar setup disconnects so even though you have all this power, you can't use it.

Has no one ever heard of relays? I'd create a huge heavy duty relay setup that if the grid power shut down, it would trip a sensor and flip the relays which would automatically disconnect my power setup completely so it doesn't back feed. This could be done with a simple micro controller. Then it would wait 15 minutes or so AFTER the grid came back up before flipping the relays and reconnecting to the grid. I'd double up the system for redundancy.

Yes my power would flick off, but it'd come back on.. Then i'd get an alert on my phone or something saying the grid is down.. or i'd see it on the indoor solar control panel.
If i'm going to invest that much in a solar setup.. i'd want to take full advantage of it.

Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing.

legion Solar is out of business I heard and has a number of law suites against it.

[michaelhills]

nice design ideal.
has that been done before.why not just have a screen in front of the sluice gate to keep the fish/ debris out.i think that circular shape, form of the concrete makes the turbine faster.fish will just go in there and turn back out into the stream .they don't have to go through it is that safe for the fish.

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

I was most interested in the composting toilet, but that ad was pretty underwhelming. I don't care how pretty it looks in different settings, I want to know how it works..

[anothersomebody]

I wonder if the fish can actually get through the turbine alive. I feel like dept of fish and wildlife would condemn it.

The solar system is basically using the wiring in your home walls not the cable coming into your home....if you connect both wind and solar through a converter...directly to your home in conjunction with your battery banks...you’ll not spend anything..not even the installation...the system is so accessible all the parts you need can be found on eBay or recycled from other devices in your home 👍

[Blantston]

Good luck getting the vortex/turbine permitted for use in the USA. Ever heard of the Dept. of Natural Resources?
To alter even the slightest any waterway IE: river stream or creek is almost never allowed. Even on your own property.
A stream, creek or river on your own property will have restrictions for livestock access, do you really think you would be able to alter it’s natural flow?
Welcome to the modern world!

The Lavoria is cool but without a spin type function it isn't much help. I guess you can grab hold of the handle and swing it around to remove water . . . IF the thing is sturdy enough. Doesn't seem strong enough for the money to withstand that.

Only down side to the car is the Moss, could provide a risk factor to people that are highly allergic to moss.
