Boy oh boy - there sure are some il - informed comments on here.....!! A polite request to anyone thinking of claiming that this or that is wrong/too small/too big/made of the wrong material, etc. etc. Please remember that this guy did a lot of research before starting the project. Then he built it. And it works as he said it would. So........!

It's the internet. Billions of people have access to it. I agree that they are many armchair engineers, but there are also many educated people. There might even be actual mechanical engineers watching this video. I will say, the fact he went with a horizontal shaft rather than a vertical is refreshing. Gravity works well for getting water out of the way. Edit: I would like to see one small hydro setup that has the spike hooked to a governor and proper pressure lubrication. This guy seems smart enough to get one working.

They should go and build their own if they know so much, one thing with Kris, he stated at the beginning he wasn’t an expert, but he did his research and is giving it a go and you bet , if it doesn’t work, he will be the first to point this out and then come up with a solution :)

@mattstacker6535
@mattstacker6535 6 лет назад
I like your water distribution offset to move the turbine water effect you were going for. Also the smooth finish surface for max water flow inside the water distribution pump. And also insulation of the electrical components and wearer proofing the system. I wont troll you like many others. Keep up the good work video is informative and well balanced in information.

I was looking back at some of your older videos on the hydro and now I know why you got that plasma cutter. Sure makes cutting your metal for projects like this one so much easier .
@kenlee5015
@kenlee5015 7 лет назад
Very cool. May I suggest cutting an access plate opposite the pelton wheel. At some point you will be pulling it for maintenance or replacement and it will likely be seized to the shaft. A puller through the access hole makes for easy work. A plexiglass cover would allow you to see inside, as well.

Hi Kris here is a tip for you when bending steel like you did a easy way is get a vise and open it about 2 inches this distance can very it is up too you! take a hammer but on a piece like you did I would use a round solid shaft about 1 inches x 8 inches and you place the flat piece across the opening and tap your round bar this will mold the steel and make it bend. hope this helps. you can bend steel up to one quarter thick by 2" and down.

Really great job, however, I believe aluminum and steel will interact and corrode, causing the steel to rust quite badly relatively quickly, particularly in a situation of high humidity. I think you should have kept your materials consistent to prevent that sort of thing...
