Lifetime of Free Power from Water - Building a water powered generator using recycled junk. Part 1 

Aussies? .. Kiwis

@@MartyT Cor! Sorry! This was the first of the channel's vids I've seen! Kiwis are even more hardcore. You guys still working on the whole Sauron/Uruk-hai thing? Or is that under check?

@@grumblycurmudgeon Maaate... calling a Kiwi an Aussie has started wars before! Are you trying to provoke them? Their rugby team could take care of any horde of orcs, either by fighting them or with a drinking competition.

@@ClaytonBigsby01, a video with this many views makes less than about $4000

@@greenaum yes don't insult Aussies by calling kiwis Aussies lol

we are just kid whit money lol

Same haha

"Rapid prototyping"

Medieval engineering technique, you design it while you build it.

In NZ they call it “Kiwi ingenuity”

Men in sheds messing about and inventing with bits that “I’ll keep that aside it might come in handy” to make stuff that shouldn’t be possible! Brilliant!

NZers were famous for being scavengers during the world wars. It's because NZ was so young there was hardly any industry there. AnY materials, tools and equipment that needed to be shipped took months to get. Even nails used to be recycled.

I thought I had one. He ran off a woman. Foul creatures. Stealing away all our friends.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm in the same boat. Good days and bad. I love having YT vid's. Just watching random stuff of interest keeps my mind from running out of control. I love watching DIYer's like these guys and am admittedly a bit sad I don't have what they have in terms of knowledge and friendship. Smart enough to figure out how to do something with what's on hand or cheap, but not so much that their smarts get in the way of creative thinking. I've got the imagination, just not the smarts to execute. I'm got a log bridge to build across a seasonal creek on my property and thought it be neat to set-up a small waterwheel to spin a motor to run some LED xmas lights to decorate the bridge at night in the dark months. The public uses the bridge as it's on a main hiking trail. Just thought it be a nice thing for people to experience on their hikes. Anyway. Hope you're doing well and year on now. Regards, Bert.

trying to find the next installment

I can't wait for the next installment, this was fantastic.

unless you live in the usa then broken bones cost lots of money

@@bobrobert6277 facts

broken bones, alone in the wilderness can cost you your life

And possibly actual gold in it.

@@gatekeeper65 More likely to be Iron Pyrites, when doing a survey project out at the Dolaucothi National Trust site the workings there are full of it and that it why it is known as fool's gold because it is very hard to tell it apart from real Gold.

Always carry a magnet with you prospecting,easiest way to tell pyrite from gold.

@@tallyhorizzla3330 wasn't talking about gold physical

@@jamewakk The other people in your replies were.

same my Dad was a bit of a tinkerer aswell

Good old days, atleast we have memories!

My grandfather. That guy could make ANYTHING run! If you had a banana that wouldn’t start he’d get it running. We had an old Datsun B210 when we moved up here. He had worked this thing 6 ways from Sunday when we lived in So Cal. I remember something going wrong with it up here before my grandparents moved up her, so my mom had to take it to a shop. I remember the mechanic, an older guy as well, started looking under the hood, then looked at my mom, and told her I don’t know how long you’ve had this this way but it should have never been able to start. He messed with it for a while, and when he was done told her whoever did this work new what they were doing. It shouldn’t have worked but it did. To this day that story just cracks me up. We always joke the every thing ran in “Perna” power.

@@visamedic Great story ♥️

Same here. My dad was perfect at using a rubber band to get you going again. I try to do the same, just I seem to use several rubber bands. 😂

I agree, this is better than anything on TV today.

Cable tv is predatory

I have never had cable. Always seemed a waste.

and then i looked and realized it was you....damn man ..im getting old

@@themastertater420 there are VERY few like him. A very good watch!.

We don't have much of these kind of babies here in Finland. Been on the watch more than ten years and never spotted the type on the dumps or tips.

The parts are easy enough to find A mountain stream is the hardest thing to find, non on ebay anyway, lol

Literally happens every time I get rid of the dust collection.

IKR

Hope you still have like ceiling fans in your garage. Few tiny neo magnets on the internet. Voila.! U good to go.! So many videos on youtube. Chk this guy out; muddy muddy mudman. He has tons of videos on youtube of all the stuff lying around to make electricity, and further bridge rectifiers home made. Good luck and have fun.!!

If you can read and follow simple directions, you can do this kind of stuff and so much more. Between bookstores, your local library, Google, and RU-vid there's tons of information available on DIY projects. You can do it if you want to.

....you may not think so, but you are More than mentally-equipped to pull this off...!!! This was Almost a step-by-step tutorial. You Got This....!!!

That's what we all say until we start! You never know what you can achieve until you start learning and putting in the work.

Why not? The only thing you have to lose is time. Not much you can do to mess it up that couldn’t be fixed. The only way you get better at building stuff is to build stuff. Half the projects I start I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, I just do some research, get going, then when you run into problems, (which you always do) you figure out how to solve them, rinse, and repeat.

friendship is the gold live needs

He was heavy on the foreshadowing for the sturdiness of the plastic fins..... so, I foresee some early repairs in next episode....

So true. Environmental nazis have insisted on scrapping lots of useful stuff around me in the Scottish Highlands, nowadays you can never find anything useful any more, it breaks my heart to even think about how much extremely useful, old, high quality equipment was sent to the crusher for short term gain, only to be replaced with electronic/ plastic cheap Chinese garbage which will be utterly useless within a generation.

If only we had creeks that ran all year round like that here in WA.

After the third time, it did, trust me.

Yeaah, old people love doing that, also, old people hate you doing that

I used to have a colleague who we all knew was very nervous around electricity. He just about shit his pants if you banged the side of a panel when he was looking inside....... something which we never got tired of (but he did) lol.

When the budget is so tight you can’t even afford a hammer...

He is frigging MacGuyver

Geesh. You need to spend more time in the garage!

Do you notice the dog tilting it's head as they worked as if trying to make sense of it all?

1 bar per 10 meters of elevation, so the damn is roughly 70 meters above the turbine.

But for what pressure are the connectors rated ?Which system/materials are you using?

@@JohnSmith-pl2bk i tried several. Barb fittings for poly pipe was the answer for me. Only 65psi.
