The Micro Hydro Project: Episode 3 - The Intake Part 1

[@1943L]

Nice to see the learning curve as you try different things out. Looks like it could be a great hydro project.

Yes, it still feels like the learning is just beginning!! Haha thanks

You need poly in your intake or a pool liner. Then rock lots of shielding rocks to prevent erosion otherwise it'll blow out.

Gosh, the intake has been tough! I found it too challenging to keep this style of intake so I redesigned the whole thing. Let me know what you think or if you have any ways I could improve the new one, your ideasd are great! Thanks

You could put a pipe directly in the stream, and then add a construction after it, so you wouldnt have to worry about how to dig it for a perfect flow. For that screen, you have to put some bigger stronger mesh behind it, or some bars.

You are very smart! You may see in an upcoming video that you are certainly right about the screen...
