[@Jessijitsu]

WOW! The water turbine is SO MUCH BETTER than traditional dams!

[@MrTwostring]

Love the comment on the washing machine about buoyancy vs gravity. Those are opposite forces. They could have just as easily said "It's hard to push down because it floats, and hard to pull up because of gravity."

[@nancyasberry8458]

I would have liked to have seen how you wring the water out of the clothes for that portable clothes washer. She had jeans in there. I can't imagine they came out as anything except heavy and sopping wet.

Turbulent Hydro is easy and cool

[@LazyBunnyKiera]

1 thing i hate about many solar system setups is that anti-island thing, where if the power grid goes out, you don't have power either. Your whole solar setup disconnects so even though you have all this power, you can't use it. Has no one ever heard of relays? I'd create a huge heavy duty relay setup that if the grid power shut down, it would trip a sensor and flip the relays which would automatically disconnect my power setup completely so it doesn't back feed. This could be done with a simple micro controller. Then it would wait 15 minutes or so AFTER the grid came back up before flipping the relays and reconnecting to the grid. I'd double up the system for redundancy. Yes my power would flick off, but it'd come back on.. Then i'd get an alert on my phone or something saying the grid is down.. or i'd see it on the indoor solar control panel. If i'm going to invest that much in a solar setup.. i'd want to take full advantage of it.

Legion solar thing has a optional battery commander module so maybe it actually does what you say but I'm not sure.

DIY Lithium Ion power cell packs

[@jonomoth2581]

We have a good system where the panels charge a battery, excess is used to heat our water, further excess is sold to the grid, if the panels don't give enough we run off the battery, if that's not enough we buy from the grid. Except some exposed got jogged around during installation of the batteries so now the RCDs go off every other rainy morning.

[@LazyBunnyKiera]

@@jonomoth2581 But if the power goes out, do you still have power? Many electrical companies require that grid attached solar setups, even WITH batteries, need to shut down should the grid power go out, to protect the line workers.

[@jonomoth2581]

@@LazyBunnyKiera I just checked and we wouldn't have power, but the main point of the system was to reduce power bills and not independence. It would be a nice feature to have, I agree.

The Nature's Head Composting Toilet I use it in my RV f0r years and safe water :)

[@MyExperienceUnderTheSun]

Tell us more about it. 👍

[@Chimonger1]

I like this commercially-made unit, better than the older, often State-allowed, proven SunMar units, because these are smaller, more easily maintained, & crucially, separate the urine from solid waste. But the bucket is smaller, & might need some help.... Have you tried adding worms to the poop bucket? Adding a bunch of the little wigglers found in the top several inches of the ground, can extend time between emptying, reduce mass & odor faster, & the worms break-down coliform bacteria (the germs in poop that health departments worry about). That said, one can easily make their own bucket potty with a separator for urine, from cheap & recycled parts. One excellent book, that describes 2 different, very effective ways to incorporate composting toilet systems, is in “Solviva” by Ana Eddy (sp.?).

I have been trying to purchase a TURBULENT HYDRO Electric turbine for the past 3 years. They do not actually sell to people and it is one of those businesses that only looks good on paper. Maybe one day they will contact me? I do not know. Jim in Chile.

Well done. Unlike the "Sh*t Shovelers" who just cut and paste other people's advertising behind stupidly loud free music, you guy(s?) actually put some work on these vids... Also importantly, you put in chapters!!! So that I can actually skip stuff that I am not interested in.... WELL DONE! SUBSCRIPTION EARNED!!!

[@michaelhills8516]

nice design ideal. has that been done before.why not just have a screen in front of the sluice gate to keep the fish/ debris out.i think that circular shape, form of the concrete makes the turbine faster.fish will just go in there and turn back out into the stream .they don't have to go through it is that safe for the fish.

[@cherylstraub5970]

legion Solar is out of business I heard and has a number of law suites against it.

[@anothersomebody8195]

I wonder if the fish can actually get through the turbine alive. I feel like dept of fish and wildlife would condemn it.

[@jamesburleson1916]

It's easy enough to put a grating on the inlet that will stop any fish big enough to get hurt in the blades. The little guys'll be fine.

I was most interested in the composting toilet, but that ad was pretty underwhelming. I don't care how pretty it looks in different settings, I want to know how it works..

Hey sorry if I didn't cover enough. There is basically a latch that opens either liquids or solids container. And when it's full you empty the container.

The solar system is basically using the wiring in your home walls not the cable coming into your home....if you connect both wind and solar through a converter...directly to your home in conjunction with your battery banks...you’ll not spend anything..not even the installation...the system is so accessible all the parts you need can be found on eBay or recycled from other devices in your home 👍

What happens in the winter when there's no wind and the sun is minimal?

[@adyday1656]

Another Somebody its the size and thickness of the mast.....as long as there is movement/vibrations...connected to a magnetic field...a small reading is measured...similar to a light 💡 bulb power....think slow cooker....minimal power/trickle over longer time produces heat...we have copper pipes and a copper water tank...left for a long time on low vibrations...will build up the heat...it’s not full power like needing it yesterday...but it’s long term conversion of extremely low vibrations.....think of a CB areal...connected to a magnet...and then a capacitor...small cog...to bigger cogs

The Lavoria is cool but without a spin type function it isn't much help. I guess you can grab hold of the handle and swing it around to remove water . . . IF the thing is sturdy enough. Doesn't seem strong enough for the money to withstand that.

Or you could take a 5 gallon bucket and just drill holes in it like the bucket in the video: probably be stronger, but not much. Catastrophe awaits. Hay netting?

[@SuzanneWho]

Some restaurant suppliers sell BIG produce washers/spinners that some people use as mini washers. Small enough to stash in a cabin or camper. A friend has one for her small farm. I’ve seen it and it would work well as a washer.

[@Blantston]

Good luck getting the vortex/turbine permitted for use in the USA. Ever heard of the Dept. of Natural Resources? To alter even the slightest any waterway IE: river stream or creek is almost never allowed. Even on your own property. A stream, creek or river on your own property will have restrictions for livestock access, do you really think you would be able to alter it’s natural flow? Welcome to the modern world!

[@kaywatson6505]

Your about not being allowed in USA. It's a shame. The company that designs these are in Belgium and their low turbulence systems have in use in Chili, Australia and other countries. Powering entire villages in South America. No damage to waterways, environment or natural life makes one of the better utility makers.

The spec's of the Sion Electric car are poor. Until the new battery tech comes out I would wait.

[@Helyx525]

Its laughable. That spec works out to 10 miles of range per day from those solar panels. Its not the battery tech thats the problem, its just a really stupid and wasteful design. Get a decent stationary solar array on your roof and you can generate way more power than those cheap panels wrapped around the car.

The "vortex" is going the wrong direction for the Northern (American) Hemisphere. Why didn't they watch a video on how water will naturally vortex counter-clockwise in a toilet stool before they built this one backwards?

No, Coriolis force is negligible. - from the FAQ on the Turbulent website.

@@cgstech5657 - Thanks for the follow-up. I personally think it is because most motors and generators spin clockwise, making their product cheaper to produce and worth fighting Mother Nature, to their bottom line.
