#MiniConstruction #ScienceProject #construction #dam #Mini #Hydroelectric Great, thank you all for watching my video. Please click subscribe to the channel . Thanks
Your projects are both excellent and educational, congratulations on that, and thank you for it. I have a question: Are these projects functional? I mean, does anyone make use of them, or are they merely educational videos that are taken apart afterwards?
What is impressive is that this man built a dam without stemming up a stream just like a real construction. In addition, no background musics are really good to emphasize this man's craftsmanship.
He's definitely not slow or wasting time on unnecessary things. He's got a idea, a plan for how to make it happen. He has The will & determination to do the job and do it correctly. He adapts his design to the area available for use. Then he creates a masterfully built structure for its intended purpose. To produce electricity for a home. He's a great craftsman and hard worker! I wish I had a stream flowing through my place like that. I'd be set.
For structural integrity and strength, you should create a modest "arc" (concave) when laying the bricks for the dam. This will displace the force of the water pressure pushing against it. Even at this scale, it's substantial. Over time, a linear "straight line" wall will be compromised and could collapse.
@@uthnanaodgneyun8542 It's not the bricks that are the problem with collapse. It's the engineering aspect and how they are utilized in construction methods. It's the same physics employed with cantilever structures and arches redistributing tensile forces. They produced a miniature example of the "Hoover Dam". That is an excellent example of (enormously increased structural integrity) by displacing the force outward to the external supporting wall edge. With this method, the damn wall will actually strengthen with more applied force. There is no 'waste' of material. Yet there would be a tragic waste (and lost effort) in an imminent collapse. Much like those high-rises that seem to fall apart and come down, because a builder cuts corners to save time and money.
Eres un CRACK socio, me da mucha ENVIDIA ver esa capacidad que tienes, no solo de lo que CREAS, sino de las técnicas de CONSTRUCCION, que dominas a la PERFECCION. Te diré que estoy APRENDIENDO muchas cosas de ti, que de SEGURO aplicaré a mi trabajo, pues estoy GRATAMENTE SORPRENDIDO, y eso que tengo más de 30 años de experiencia como ALBAÑIL.....GRACIAS por mostrar tu TECNICA🤗🤗🤗🤗
Pero todos estos proyectos son como jugetes. No sirven para nada por el trabajo que hizo. A la mejor, todos sus proyectos quedan para el bien...para controlar a su agua donde se necesite. Para un chino o vietnamita o Thai, si estos proyectos te ayudan para cultivacion de arroz, ya es un gran exito!!! Se necesita a "mover" o sea controlar donde llegue el agua en esa. Por el bien!! I said that these projects are all a game for him. He does so much work and planning. Why doesn't it stay and do good to farming or rice cultivation, which takes a lot of work to control the water where it goes and to move it to other "plots". That's why terrace rice farming saves some of that work. You just need the water source up high. Open the chute to fill it with water, make a small opening in the lower levels till they all fill up. Then, cut the water source. When you need to drain, open them up to drain. I think all these projects are such a waste.
Actions speaks louder than words.... This man Is proof that you can keep your mouth shut but still communicate with every person's across the globe with all the tribes and races will still get your message...
This is actually an impressive hydro setup… you could power a home with that (no joke). However, you would need to improve the generator a lot - currently you have 1-1 ratio of your turbine to shaft spin, but you have a lot of power being produced by the water… that’s a lot of heavy water! It will spin WAY more than that tiny little generator… if you make a setup that has gears, you can probably run a television off of that dam, which means if you were to have a storage solution (large battery bank with control and safety circuitry to monitor, control, and prevent overcharging batteries/etc), you could go completely off-grid with this one dam on your property and never pay another electricity bill… you just need to improve it to produce more electricity, which essentially means having that hefty shaft spinning much more than the tiny little generator at a 1:1 ratio. A lot can be said about efficiency and so on, but I’m sure you can figure that out. I’ve seen videos on RU-vid where a few people have made full-blown hydro power solutions to power their home completely off the electric grid in the middle of a forest with less water than that… you have a lot of potential there as long as the power is stored in a large bank of batteries with controls and generator setup is improved. Just something to consider if you enjoy this stuff.
Have you considered putting the turbine at the bottom of the the dam to maximize the water pressure acting against the blades? Also, I think the turbine might be more effective with a lot of little blades, instead of a few bigger blades.
if its a proper pressure turbine, it doesnt matter if its at the top or the bottom, the same amount of water flows through regardless. sadly, this is just a plain old waterwheel, primitive, inefficient. wasting about 90% of their power in turbulence alone. but so what? i see thai (i assume) rice farmers, and where some like to play with engines or longboats or motorbikes in their spare time, these guys like playing in the irrigation canals. and the channel gets revenue :) its a win-win for them... theres some nice ideas, some nice designs, but every time, the turbine is a serious letdown. 99% of people dont understand turbines, and still think of water wheels. theres two types of turbine, and they work completely opposite to each other. the reaction turbine is like the hose waving around madly when turned on and let loose. hero turbine. rockets. francis turbine. the pressure of the water converts to velocity in the nozzle, and the nozzle moves (or blades that are actually shaped like nozzles rather than the "paddles" people actually think they are. its about making water accelerate through a reducing area). as a water turbine for power is generally all piped up, its closed... as long as the outlet is larger than the inlet the pressure is lower in the tail pipe and there is water flow... doesnt matter if its at the top or bottom of the dam. for best efficiency, the water will flow through the turbine at half the velocity it would flow freely through the piping. the turbine should be the restriction. they need to be completely submerged. the other type is when you use the hose to wash the driveway off. the velocity of the water hitting an object slows the water down and transfers its momentum to the object. thats pelton wheels, turgos, and the like. they need to be left out in the open so the water can flow away with absolutely no resistance. and often only use one nozzle but can use several. they have to be as low as possible, the higher the head the better. the pressure needs to be at its highest at the nozzle, where it converts to velocity, then it hits the blades, ideally traveling at half the speed, converting its velocity to pressure upon impact. ideally the water stops and just falls away "dead" having lost all its energy. some always splashes...
@@paradiselost9946 it is not true. water flow is important but also pressure has huge capacity, in fact all reservoirs are located in high (usually mountains) with long forced flowing pipes leading to lower to turbine room.
Does RU-vid cause insomnia or does insomnia cause RU-vid. In this case RU-vid because I love watching this man work the skill is amazing one trades man to an other
🤔 This hydroelectric design with turbines in the middle of the lake is impressive, but I wonder if the dam was built with a concave shape to displace the force of the water pressure pushing against it. Without this, the linear "straight line" wall may not hold up against the substantial force of the water over time. What do you think? 💭💦
That was a giant spider at 13:55 I wonder what type it was also this guy put in the effort to reply to almost every comment that is insane congrats dude your awesome
Can't you use this type of energy generator and then another one at the lower base of where the water exits (a conventional one) to benefit more from the potential energy from the water?
no. or, in this case, yes, as his turbine itself is so lousy. if the turbine was properly designed, and restricted the maximum flow possible from the head available to exactly half, then it would be extracting the maximum amount of energy from that potential.
@paradiselost9946 The answer would be yes regardless of how well his turbine is doing overall. Of course if there is another turbine added to collect energy, it is going to increase the amount of energy collected.
Luar biasa, saya suka pekerjaan yang dikerjakan dengan penuh ketelitian dan hati hati. Hasil yang di dapatkan pasti sangat luar biasa. Sebuah ide yang sangat luar biasa. Cocok diterapkan skala besar 👍
you are the real engineer...👍 in the real life... btw. Place nets before water intakes to filter out debris and fallen leaves. so that your mini hydroelectric works well. congrat👍
I just recalled a strange but interesting and counterintuitive vertical axis turbine originating in Afghanistan. It was placed on a vertical axle in the middle of a modest stream with a modest to fast flow rate. It was in the shape of tapered ‘kebab meat’ on a rotisserie: conical, wider at the top, narrower at the bottom. The cone shape was blunt; squared off, not pointed. The turbine reached from the bottom of the stream to the top, about a metre. It had a single deep volute groove running all the way from bottom to top. The water flow induced rotary motion to the turbine. There were no earthworks or other forms of construction. I imagine it was invented by a shepherd with a lot of time on his or her hands who also had a grasp of fluid dynamics and knew that the flow at the surface was much faster than at the bottom. I believe that the rotation of the turbine was induced by water being drawn up it from the bottom of the stream to the top via the volute groove/ channel cut into it. It was a solid piece of wood. I am resolved to make one!
This one has the best effort and design to date! I love the concrete look, no colour needed as yoye concrete and cement deatiking is very good. It was built to look like it was going to be more permanent compared to your other builds. Other builds don't have a thick wall or an arch to hold back large volume of water for a long time. Also, it does bug me a little when you don't dig the bricks in to the walls for extra support.
Thought you might have educated your self a bit. Nothing wrong with ideas and enthusiasm. My Father lives in the Lake District UK. He has a back boiler that runs off the wood fire and solar panels for electric. Oupa is 79 he recently went back to Cape Town earlier this year to rock climb with his mates. His name Barrie Cheetham. Used to climb with him. He is writing an autobiography on his experiences while living in Africa. We opened two climbing route's in the Cederberg Mountain region just outside of Cape Town when I were 14 year's old. Glad to help you with information when I come across it. Highest regards to you and your family. Regards John Cheetham
My complete admiration Sir, "..and then the Lord said, And I will give you the knowledge and your body the sustainable energy necessary to develop the craftsmanship that will make it possible to give you everything that you need" Truly inspiring, has me wishing that I had the patience and experience to think laterally like this to be the living definition of completely self sustaining! I'd tip my hat to you but after watching more of these I dont feel that I deserve the hat necessary for that!!
That is so awesome. Just think if you took a bunch of children and showed them how to do that. You could literally carve a child's future. Maybe they would take on to it and learn more about hydroelectric and much more. And maybe they can figure out how to give us free energy. That would be awesome . 😲😀👍
Everything is good. But the turbine rotor blades are not so effective. Because it creates a friction when it rotates. I think the turbine blades should be made parabolic so that it could rotate freely when water will hit on it.
And the point of this? If you are building for irrigation, that's fine. But why the little generator and LED lights? Surely there are better applications for micro dams?
i'm loving all these little model dams, really cool! do you reconstruct them each time, or is there just a stream on your property that's got a whole long line of little hydro plants on?
I asked him in Vietnamese. Apparently, he does sometime tear one down for a new build. His land isn't dotted with dozens of mini hydroelectric power plants... :D
Rất ấn tượng! Tôi thích các video của bạn. Tôi tự hỏi, bạn có phá hủy con đập trước đó mỗi khi bạn làm một trong những video này không, hay giờ đây bạn đã có rất nhiều đập thuỷ điện nhỏ trên đất của mình?
It is a fake bro.. he didn't show the welded thing turning inside water plus there is no electric generation motor installed to the rotator... Just fun to watch
Love how he was holding the live metal while he was welding without gloves or any protection Edit: sorry I actually think this is really cool I just wish you would use safer technique
