That's absolutely amazing , I'm looking to achieve just this on my land. combined hydro and solar.

They can fly

To make an induction motor generate it needs to be excited by the mains . With no water on the turbine the motor will rotate and absorb power from the mains. If the water tries to turn the motor faster than about 3% above synchronous speed then it will generate. I guess that If the mains fails the system just stops generating .

Incredible as always. Loving the generosity as well. Amazing.

Hi, just found your channel, fantastic series on the waterwheel. Are there any pictures of the original wheel and was it overshot or undershot. My late father used to generate DC from the undershot wheel on the old mill on the farm before connection to the grid in 1955.

Great job! How about introducing a voltage regulator as the water speed is not linear???

What’s software does he use? Kind of looks like fusion 360?

Nice to hear that you enjoyed the milling, thanks for another great video!

Get yourself some safety glasses... Just stupid because a little piece of metal goes so fast in your eye and then its nasty

Next up… watch me build a school and a church.

This is so helpful. Love the chain mortiser.

thanks for sharing.

Really god video thanks for sharing mate. Well done on building the life that gives you back amazing things.

Now that you have a lot more experience, what do you think about using a chainsaw for timber frame mortises? If a chain mortiser wasn't in the budget, would you consider a chainsaw a worthwhile labor-saving tool? Or would you just make do without any kind of chained power tool?

To much talking

You can incorporate a gold sluice up the hill into this as well.

Do you think it would work more efficiently using smooth bore pipe rather than that ribbed drainage type?

Hi Kris. I'm 56 and from Plymouth, but I have lived in the rural Philippines for the past 9 years. I had one of your videos pop up on my news feed a few weeks ago and have been binge watching ever since. This is the latest video I've watched. I am hooked on your channel, and Im looking forward to seeing what you have done in the past 4 years. I just wanted to say that you are truly an inspirational and motivation to many people. You have a kind heart and care passionately for nature and the wildlife. Your family must be so proud of what you have done, largly with your bare hands and determination. One day, I am sure you are going to be an amazing role model to your children if that's your plan. God bless Kris. Take care always. 👏👏👏👏🙏❤️

Excellent and comprehensive info thanks

Wow I haven't been there for a while. I remember your first steps with establishing a of greed house. Now that looks like some mega structure compared to that. It's great 👍

@krisharbournaturalbuilding - How do you go from the water just flowing down the hill, to a pressurised input into the pelton?

Do you have a Grid connection on your home from Kummer Leo from switzerland

First thing you did wrong was go to aliexpress unfortunately……they sell cheap for a reason……maybe you spend abit more but get it locally or from here in the US…(which hopefully isn’t made in china….but if it is they have to produce the output they state if a company here is selling the product)….nice wheel and setup either way…hope you got that wattage figured out.

The building looks fabulous. Whoever John and Joy are, lovely people. That sort of generosity gives me faith in humans again. Best wishes from Ireland.

If you laid the panels flat would they catch more sun light?

You got so much grass, you could do with some egg lain chicken free range.

Never promise the out put, just install the size of the wind mill they want.

Glad to see Bert sparing you and Dot, I hope the rest of this bad weather is equal;y easy on you! By the way, I remember you hinting that you might want to take up beekeeping at some point. I just started a course recently, and it's extremely fascinating. I would love to see how you would tackle the challenges. It would also be great to see you setting up a fully DIY/home-made apiary. Using the woodworking shop to make the hives, frames, tools, etc, that would be incredibly interesting to see. My biggest problem with other channels dealing with beekeeping is that they all use store-bought stuff, and it's a bit wasteful.

it's nice to see you in your house, interacting with Dot.

Nice work and this probably give you an idea, by adding 2 rollers at each side of the wheel this will help with the weight and take some load from the shaft ( the rollers will be under and rolling on the place that you bolted the shaft caps basically under the pipe ) tanks for the videos and wishing you the best

That is a Tesla turbine.

Hey Kris, no idea if you'll ever see this, but I am a 43 year old 'rat race' person with ADHD with 4 kids and waiting until they are moved out so the wife and I can seriously consider doing what you are doing. Circumstances mean we can't do it until they are older, but I watch your vids from start to finish, which for someone with ADHD, is I hope, a huge compliment. You are just so chill and easy going, no fluff in your videos and a genuinely lovely chap to listen to. I wish I had your foresight to do this when I was younger like you did, but hey, that didn't happen. Keep up the great work. Love listening and watching to you explain how all your stuff works and all your experimenting etc. That is what life is about. Trial and error, until we pass away. Take care, merry Christmas. EDIT: the barn is looking incredible and what a huge sense of achievement you'll have when you complete it, although I'm sure you'll have lots of tweaks to it over the years :)

Look at turbulent hydro approach kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYqWoWWbZpKehJY.

You're a hard-working man,but maybe you should get yourself a pair of knee pads for kneeling

I think the shaft was already compromised when the first cracks appeared around the hub. Welding it just delayed the total failure. This has been a great series that you have produced and also, a beautiful wheel and system to support it. Keep up the good work. I have an 1840 watt solar generator that I designed and built. Totally for Off-Grid. Just like you. Unforeseen barriers, problems, and of course, the angle of the sun in Northern Oregon, USA is just less than 21 degrees... Great work on the job and in your video presentation. @5acre-nw-wood

If everyone had your work ethic this would be a better world .....Love your videos !!!!!

Loved this video, thanks Kris , and especially loved how happy you were with your wonderful new gift from John & Joy . What lovely people, eh 🥰

Hoping you didn't have damage with storm Darragh. We are on the Welsh coast a bit south of you where it was wild. We didn't have damage to the property but sadly lost some wonderful trees. Power is back but broadband is still down. Hoping all ok.

8ve lost 3 chickens ..my fault. I didn't know enough but them now I do. I did save them twice from the fox tho. I no wat to do now.

Watching you shear makes my back hurt. We have BFL's. They are so calm that we just put a halter on them and tie them to the gate. Shearing goes so much better with a calm sheep. No wool on the belly, face, or legs.

A thousand hours is about 6 months of full-time work (40 hrs/week) here in the US. Lot of time milling!

Maaaaaan ... why did you spoil all this great work so far with the ugly sidings? They belong to little cheap sheds, built by people with far inferior skills to yours.

Lovely little cottage and a lovely little family that lives there. What a wonderful life, good for you. But I did notice some grapes please keep them far away from that precious little kitty! I can't stress enough how deadly just 1 is for cats & dogs!

John and joy Thanks sooooo much

This is fantastic! How did you get access to all the land though? Is this some British thing where people can get free access to unclaimed land?

19:05 GLASSES PLS

Wont it be better to use cheap 700-800w generator that consume 0.2L of gasoline per h to run 24/7 (when needed) charging battery pack u have than doing that ?
