#MiniConstruction #ScienceProject #construction #dam #Mini #Hydroelectric Great, thank you all for watching my video. Please click subscribe to the channel . Thanks
It's pretty cool watching your old videos from your new. You can see the progression and development of your dams and how they become more robust and advanced. Pretty cool you take the time to read the comments and improve, keep doing what your doing! I love it. See if you can't use more of that water to generate as much electricity as possible
A master of the craft. Who can take criticism and improves with time, I love watching how much better and bigger the dams get! Water engineer to the core❤
- Эй, гребанный RU-vid, ты уже ничем не сможешь меня удивить! - Ээ парниша ты это погоди, вот тебе чувак, который строит игрушечные гидроэлектростанции, живи теперь с этим!
I think maybe a mock of a small city and use the power from the dam to power it would be dopppppeee or maybe like a Christmas one for when Christmas comes around idk if you celebrate it but im suuure it would get some clicks! Good work!
You didn't get the offset for the inlet and outlet correct. In these applications, it's best to use an old washing machine motor as the generator. Pretty decent effort, though; 8/10.
Dear parents just because of your child is smiling at their phone doesn't mean they have boyfriend or girlfriend they are watching this masterpiece 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you're on a slight hill, you could build a penstock to put the generators at a lower elevation. That'll increase the head pressure. I've seen some of your other videos and moving the generators to the bottom of the dam is the right move. If you increase the head pressure and optimize the turbines on the generators, you would probably have a pretty nice and usable setup for small scale off grid power. Maybe not a ton of power, but enough to charge a phone, run some lights. Small quality of life things if you don't have access to stable electricity. Either way, I love the innovation.
a LOT of the power from finally having a good feed pressure design was lost to the design of the turbine, the turbine housing, and the way the exhaust line is fed.
Generators generally have a certain level of resistance, the water and gravity have to put in the work to turn them, that said even in real hydro electric dams different turbine types operate at different speeds.
With the design of generators, I would argue. The water outlet must be free. There should be no walls preventing the rapid removal of water after reflection from the blades (Ideally - no walls at all - an open rotor). In your design, the waste water is collected in a closed volume preventing the rotation of the rotor and is slowly discharged through a small tube. Remove the rotor housing. Leave only the rotor and nozzle. The rotation speed will increase noticeably.
Wait until your father gets home and sees the hole you dug in the yard, and all of his cement is used up. And whos going to pay for all that extra water you are using?
Just found your channel, and I’m so happy that I did! Thank you for providing all of these videos, they’re super informative about hydropower and infrastructure construction methodology. I am really curious about how you find so many places to build these units? In the US there are so many restrictions that doing this seems mostly infeasible. Are you just contracted to build these to provide additional power to places nearby you? Are your projects put to greater social use beyond being just youtube content?
Amazing, also try to add the spillways which the original hoover dam has then this would become an exact replica of the original dam that too a working one
This was really nice. Would like to see something like this making real hydro power of course I know it would take a lot more speed to do that, but very impressive none the less Sir...
A few hundred years from now, some archeologist is gonna be scratching their head, trying to figure out why there aren't more remains of the apparently tiny but technologically advanced race of beings that lived in that region.
Hello general construction. I am a person who will never come to qualify to be accepted into university let alone learn engineering. I am a labourer, this has been wtitten for me by someone else. From your videos i can construct the same design. Some i make it bigger. It really works. Keep on the good work.
Xây nhỏ làm mô hình thì 1 ngày xong...còn cái đập này nó đổ mỗi nơi 1 chỗ mặt bằng cao như cái sân tennis...vấn đề là nó khô với chuẩn bị betong như thế nào...vì thời đó ko như bây giờ...mà làm nhanh nha...ko lâu như cát Linh đâu...🤔🤔🤔 Chỗ khó đó kỹ sư nó tài mới tính nổi
The whirlpool shown at the beginning is a long term problem for the turbine. Air from the whirlpool will erode the turbine eventually, much like cavitation damage.
How come no details on how much electricity the dame produces? The construction is really incredible, but would be excellent to know more details about finished product
I need to do some reading. how do you know the flow rate of the river wont exceed the flow rate of the dam. like if the dam doesn't let water though fast enough it will just rise till it overflows, so how would one know for certain that this wont happen. i bet is some hydro dynamic property rather than some complex math.
Do you use the electricity generated in these mini-dams to power home appliances or anything else? It could be a good option for alternative energy, every canal or drain with mini-dams. You should get your work known outside RU-vid
There is actually a French company who has taken this very idea and scaled it up. They are called VLH turbines (very low head) and they don't require a huge water level change so they can be fitted into existing canal systems. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9C6PYx24T4.html They are still WAY bigger than what's on this channel but way smaller than a typical hydroelectric scheme.
If you put the hydro generators in the same place, but the overflow straight with a pipe from the top of the dam, you will get much more electric power!
how do you figure that? the over flow is literally just the overflow. the water pressure comes from the 4 vertical towers he made, they are full and the height of the water is maxed, otherwise the overflow would not run at all. if anything, he should add a new set of generators to the overflow, as that water pressure has a lot of volume and isnt being utilized.
I think he made a realistic model. There is a flaw in the design. Free water from nature carries many substances with it. When these substances clog the weirs, it becomes a big problem. Water overflows above the dam body and this may cause the dam to fail. For this reason, it is necessary to construct a spillway so that the water does not exceed the dam body in any case. The spillway should be able to transfer the substances carried by the water to the support side without damaging the dam.
He actually accounted for this as well - the central vertical pipe is a bell mouth spillway, any excess water is being drained through that to prevent overtopping. The turbines are only fed by the 4 vertical penstocks.
