Bonjour , magnifique installation et de solidarité entre villageois pour les travaux, j'arrive trop tard pour vous proposer un nouveaux modes de fonctionnement des turbines. Ce mode n existe pas encore mai promet une grosse évolution dans le domaine de production d énergie, et mérite d être tout de même étudié et mi en pratique pour essai. Ce nouveau modèle de fonctionnement promet une énorme puissance avec peut de quantité d eau le prince de fonctionnement est le suivante. On utilise la gravité naturel de la terre et non pas la pressions pour faire tourné une roue pelton, on utilise le poids de l eau à 100/100 d ou son rendement très important on n'utilise pas de roue pelton mai une roue qui ressemble à une roue de moulin . Il y a 2 roue minimum 1 en haut et 1 en bas ,devant le moulin on installe un tunnel vertical en acier inox qui mesure 1ou2 mètre de haut ou selon les possibilité de hauteur que l on peut lui donner . Les 2 roue sont relier par des plateaux articulé superposés les un au dessus des autres et relier entre eux. Les plateaux passe dans le tunnel à la vertical sorte font le tour de la roue du bas et remonte pour y repasser. Quel est le résultat ou l effet de ce système d'exploitation.il est incroyable et pourtant trop simple, par exemple vous avez cour d eau de 500 litre minutes ,et sans le tunnel vous ne pouvez rien changé votre cour d eau ne pourra pas développer une puissance au dessus de 500 litre minute, mai une fois installé votre tunnel fait disons 4 m3 vide , une fois plein il feras 4 tonnes , les plateaux à l intérieur empêcher l eau de s échappé et la retienne, lorsque il descende il font tourné la roue du bas et aussi celle du haut , mai il est impératif de ne laissait sortir que 500 litre d eau qui sort ,et 500 litre d eau qui rentre dans le tunel . Pour effet il y aura au lieux de 500 litre de pousser, 4 tonnes de pousser mai avec un débit de 500 litre minute et une force de 4 tonnes à 100/100 depuis le début jusque à la sortie du tunnel. La puissance est en fonction de la taille du tunel si vous en faite un de 1000 litre vous aurez 1 tonnes de force motrice à votre moulin , si vous en faite 1 de 3 mètre cube = 3 tonnes de force. Je partage cette idée de moulin à tunel car elle promet beaucoup et svp partagé la avec d autre village qui en on besoin ou d autre personne , bonne continuation

While I enjoyed the clear, comprehensively explained system aspects of the video I also liked the beautiful stone walls in Nepal

[@bradpatterson9067]

I was in awe of how amazing this underdeveloped village is using modern technology to better the inhabitants lives in bringing electricity and convenient hot water to their abodes. However, when they showed how to turn it into a profitable business i checked out. Not sure where the proceeds are going but in an ideal world it should be reinvested back into the community.

[@tazholio]

perhaps if you kept watching you would have found out the truth?

[@whocares3132]

Its not profitable. The cost is very low to support the maintenance cost.

[@damirserban]

this could be replicated by every village in the world who uses corrugated 20-30 cm pipe as a water supply just add couple of powerhouses along the way filter the water and get it back in the pipe

[@muhammaddarjat3191]

congrats many many. The project demonstrates local solution in accessing reliable energy for good of the people and the planet

[@joshuadraper1534]

I love how this little village is generating hydro power for free other than the initial cost of building it which they all should split the cost of construction and maintenance but some how they still have to pay a monthly bill to who ever gets the money which I'm sure they're Making way more money than what it cost to build and maintain seeing how the only maintenance is a stick with a net tied to it and a grease gun once a month.

[@JoseJimenez-mp1iy]

Exactly what I thought!🤨😡

[@NomadAlly]

Yep. Sounded great until the billing came up

[@leexgx]

If it's really cheap per month it should be be way more cost effective then trying to roll your own solar panels and battery bank (most won't be able to afford the upfront cost)

[@joe7272]

Repairs can easily be costly. I'm sure shipping in the components isn't cheap.

[@allenchase3987]

Issues of cost and profit is always a concern. Perspective from one side or another is always an issue. There are multiple people whose time and skills are used to maintain this system. Do they not deserve to be paid for their time and efforts. Do you deserve to be paid for your time and efforts that you work. Maintenance is minimal but if each persons payment is utilized to pay the people working and maintaining the system and part of the payment is used for parts and repairs. Another part is set aside to save for expansion as needed; nothing is left. The process is modular in the payments. People do not spend enormous amounts for electricity like in places like California or New York. It is designed to assist in their daily lives but if it is not maintained it will fail like many similar systems. The village did contribute but to keep it functional it needs to be maintained. You don’t invest in a car for only a one time purchase fee. There is a ongoing maintenance that is also your investment, if you want it to continue working.

[@theo_korner]

Its probably all fine but wouldn't it be better to have the AC converter in the turbine house before transmitting to the power management and distribution house?

[@larryruga366]

magnifico..!outstanding.!

[@daleleonard8090]

as i have noticed in other hydro plants at the release of the turbine water i dont see why you cant add a water wheel where the water exits the turbine house pipe for extra electrical energy capture i realise it wouldnt be as much but its a place where energy that could be made is lost ? just a thought

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

Not enough volume and not enough "fall" to provide any useful energy.. plus it snows yards deep in the winter...which is why everything is underground...

[@weslingm]

well engineered sir.

[@ntienseudoh6109]

This is wonderful. Please how much does this cost? We need this in Nigerian rural areas. Please

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

The system you are seeing here uses Powerspout PLT turbines, they run $2000 a piece, someone has to pay for that and all the pipes, inverters and batteries, armoured cables etc. The villagers have "sweat equity" and probably now the experience to help with setting up this system in other villages????

[@drew6456]

Great video. Thank you.

[@onyangomorvine3158]

Interesting

[@ok-alarm]

underground cables will be hard to troubleshoot or service, it should be accessible even if its buried.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

What servicing of armoured cables do you envisage? They have man powered shovels and ploughs powered by oxen. No diggers, bulldozers or deep mole ploughs..... and by sending a ranging signal down the line any break" can be located....... to the inch....

[@ParsMaker]

nice work

[@guygillmore2970]

It’s good to override the system; once there is lots of electricity people will find a way to use the power in all sorts of ways.

[@bobg3034]

Very nice!

[@PaulOfPeace54]

Considering the line loss of the DC power, they should have put the Power Building as close as possible to the generators. All underground wiring should have been protected by plastic conduit.

[@eby6114]

I doubt it was translated correctly. Most generators only produce AC power. Then it would be bridge rectified at the power station or better yet at the village. The cable is protected by steal which is better than plastic

[@JoseJimenez-mp1iy]

Nice try, but, Nope, DC or AC do not, intrinsically, make different, Amps made!, more amps more cable heat and volt drops, more volts less amps, but to go up the volts, it is easy with a transformer (witch it is why use AC (transformers do not work on DC)).

[@JoseJimenez-mp1iy]

today's cars have what is call alternators (AC), because, back on the days, the used to have generators (DC), and btw, steal it corrodes.

[@yegfreethinker]

@@eby6114 but hvdc is sometimes used with thrysistors changing the dc to ac once more.

[@TruthIsKey369]

@@JoseJimenez-mp1iy My thoughts exactly, why use 300 volt DC at 22 AMP when you could use 1000 AC at 6,6 AMP with a transformer where you would get very small losses by heat and dissipation, and also use smaller cables. Ofc a little more insulation may be required, but it will last much longer and more gained. People don't get how much colt there is in powerlines everywhere, we are talking 400 000 volts! and if Thomas Edison got his way (partly has done it in the USA) we would have even lower voltages and fatter cables, hence companies earn more. Luckily Tesla prevailed with his 230 volts in Europe and other parts of the world which means less loss and thinner cables. 400 volts are also used more and more, which is a good thing.

[@Goldwaschen-mit-Tom]

Great. Thats makes me smilling. Greetings Goldwaschen mit Tom

[@TommasoTrentin]

Hello, fantastic system! Is there a reason why you didn't install the turbines with a vertical axis? Based on what i know, they should work better that way, and you could install up to 6 nozzles (if there is enough space). Anyway, great work!

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

I would hazard a guess that the bearings that allow the shaft to spin like being in the horizontal plane?

[@allenchase3987]

Who is it that makes these generators. I am attempting to build an intentional community in a destitute area. I think these would be a good way to power it reliably. The area I am looking would be low head high volume. But I would have to know more still.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

The system you are seeing here uses Powerspout PLT turbines, they run $2000 a piece,

[@JarlSeamus]

That looks like a very efficient system for the needs of that village, but it's Hydro Power in the Himalayas. What keeps all that plumbing from freezing? I can't imagine that they have "mild" winters.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

Being "buried" all the way from the collection "ponds" to the powerhouse???

[@Patriot3]

It looked amazing until it became a bureaucratically controlled energy source. Its always good to be king

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

You need an organising committee and an organised workforce to carry out the work.... The loan to buy the capital equipment (penstock pipes, turbines, armoured cables, inverters etc. all needs to be arranged and a system instituted to pay that loan back over a long, long time.

[@psalm91sg1]

I like to suggest that you also can add in micro-hydro power plants and power bank, at the overflow pipe outlet. We can make full use the kinetic force.

[@tazholio]

its modular, they can add more of the cost effective turbines if needed. Any turbines from the 'waste' water will have very little head pressure

[@Not_really]

Great video on a great project. Thanks for sharing !

[@TCP_ip]

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

So cool 😢😢😢

[@Brutalford]

So power for a month is 2.25us which shows its not about greed there....

[@markonabiy6632]

very interesting ,is 6 kw from each turbine or from total?

[@lvthud]

Each turbine is rated at 1.2kw max.

[@papaspeleo]

So they are charged for ‘free’ natural energie. Or do they pay until the powerplant is payed for in total?

[@piratebobb900]

they are paying for regular powerplant maintenance and expansion which you would also have to pay for if you were to set up your own powerplant. But because everyone pays their fair share, it ends up being cheaper and more affordable for everyone.

[@miltonchavez1262]

Love this!

[@masoninnovation]

Awesome! Great job, very professional. But why DC current? AC has less loss during transmission.

[@Maaniic]

DC has lower transmission losses but has more losses during conversion and it also takes much more expensive equipment to do. That is why high voltage DC is normally only used over long distances (See HVDC). Not sure if these turbines have generators or alternators but it is quite common on smaller systems that they are 3p alternating current and then rectified and converted to the DC voltage of the battery bank and that of the inverters. I'm guessing that the power panel in the turbine house might contain the rectifiers if there are any that will rectify the 3p alternating current to higher voltage DC to reduce the resistivity losses in the transmission cable.

[@salimsopari]

What is the cost of this power plant? What is the current output in kM or mW?

The system you are seeing here uses Powerspout PLT turbines, they run $2000 a piece, someone has to pay for that and all the pipes, inverters and batteries, armoured cables etc. The villagers have "sweat equity" and probably now the experience to help with setting up this system in other villages????

Well at least it is not a dam, and it still lets the water flow through its natural course

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

The villagers used the local stone for most of the project... and buried as much of the infrastructure as they could.... The water is not destroyed or polluted only the energy provided by gravity is captured by diverting some of the stream... and then returning the water to the stream....

[@BitcoinandGold]

I loved that... x

[@simonjones7785]

This is what you get when you work with the locals rather than just tell them that the cable will be run as we say , to the outsider with no knowledge that there is a hydro power set up here they would never know that the infrastruction is here

[@platin2148]

I hope they can keep the light pollution low even though they have now energy.

they will probably find a way to keep their environmental impact low considering all of the steps they have taken to reduce their footprint allready.

[@tiggywinkle1000]

Using alternators rather than dynamos would be more versatile and efficient. This would also remove the need for DC to AC electronic converters, the cost of which will have added many 1000's of $$$ to the project while enriching the multinationals unnecessarily. Also, there would be less to go wrong and time saved: the maintenance schedule is already in place for upkeep of their rotary machines and static transformers last practically forever. HDPE = 'Plastic'
