I suggest you build a compact unit to incorporate the inlet as well as the generator and the outlet as a "Run-of-the-River model which will be easier to constructed. 10-100kw will be ideal for a country home to an isolated Farm
I was watching the video and was curious what is this guy doing? And I kept watching and watching and watching and my jaw kept dropping farther and farther and farther..

If you install the turbine lower inside that tube you will generate more power. I am a civil engineer working in the hydropower sector and I absolutely approve of this. Hats off to you sir.
Well said. I found that part really depressing too. I wouldn't expect anyone to come out with a serious Turbine overnight because it took me about 10 years to sort it out. A fan in a pipe will of course turn, but wastes most of the energy in churning the water - or air. With brilliantly thought out ducting ahead and behind the fan - which matches the characteristics of the Fan - churning friction can be eliminated ! Clue: The Fibonacci ratio 1.62 makes it all happen if employed judiciously. Should also point out that if the fan is down the bottom of the pipe as it needs to be, there can be no improvement in performance if the pipe is parallel section. Constant xsa will not allow the water to speed up ! (Bernoulli's Principle) The pipe needs to be tapered same as a stream of water falling from a "quiet" tap, if you see what I mean. As the water accelerates under gravity, it's xsa reduces. Otherwise there would be a higher ltr/sec at the bottom than at the top ! (duh !)
Also, two floodgates on the turbine pipe, one at the outlet and one at the inlet just as you did in your video. This will offer more influence and control of the amount of water that flows through the turbine
True. But what about the way it was built into the dirt off to the sides. This is incredible small scale work and I watched the amazing care and detail he put into it twice. Fantastic! But I fear the water seeping into the dirt at the sides will eventually work it's way around the limited concrete there and breach lol! I think many damns of often built into rocky terrain as that creates a much stronger barrier than pure dirt. How would you go about stabilizing that side so this model does not get .. washed away.
I'm particularly appreciative of the guard rails. Wouldn't want anything falling to their doom whilst crossing the dam, no matter how tiny they must be
And here we have an ancient beaver dam back in the 21st century beavers had similar intelligence to humans the reason they lost this is still unknown but this dam was built in their golden age.
I was born in the early 80's, so I grew up in the last American generation prior to the advent of the cell phone or internet. We lived in the country and had a small creek in the backyard. We'd build all kinds of things into that stream over the years. That was a regular hangout spot after school for years with our friends. If we'd have had access to this vid, we'd have built at least one!!
Had a friend in the late 70s do a very simplified version of this. He set up a paddlewheel/generator/battery system on the creek that ran through his property. He also built a small cottage/bunkhouse and powered all the necessary utilities with with the set up. It was pretty ingenious, but this is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. Brilliant. Cheers from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
Dream? Me and dad built! Ok, it wasn't much of one on our creek but it did hold back water and promptly flooded our front yard more often than not, but we had a swimming hole the snakes promptly took over. Actually watched this for a different reason. Writing a Stargate SG1 story and since it's fanfic I'm going back to season 1 and my character is proposing going offworld to build a military base, kind of like what they did later, but knows they need long-term power solutions and since their only gate is stuck in the bottom of Cheyenne Mountain they need it to be like solar powered or hydroelectric. What I want to know is what is the power output of this dam and what could a slightly larger one produce powerwise?
We used to damn up our creek as kids. We would get the damn built and spend the rest of the afternoon trying to patch and stop the breaches. It was so much fun.
These videos are the only ones I will shut up and just watch. No silly background music, no unnecessary explanation of what you will or have done, just a solid 15 minutes of hydro-electric dam construction! Please don't stop making these!!
This would have been an actually good educational video on how and why they are built this way, and what each part does, if it was narrated along the way.
@@gordjohn2322 Joker made a joke about himself being a tiny person living there and that YTber made him a dam. P.S. Sorry if my English is a bit off, but it's not my 1st language,

Amazing work buddy! One comment: the generators are usually at the very bottom of the dam structure to capitalize on the gravitational kinetic potential. The water column and its momentum by the time it reaches the bottom of the shaft yields better energy transfers.

This is a really amazing job. From the thumbnail, I figured, “He’s building a toy.” But then he begins with rebar, and you realize the attention to detail, and you think, “He’s not building a toy. He’s really building a dam.” And now at the end of it, I’m not sure which opinion was right, but doggone it, the sheer industry of the man… it is an awesome thing. Just watching him do all the rebar ties with that little tool of his. I salute you, sir.
Yeah it's just a semi realistic toy, but by semi I mean it's nearly not a toy, but it could be improved a ton. This simply explains how this system works. Marvelous. On this scale it makes more sense then watching giant turbines spin. So hard to understand turbines.
@@greuju "So hard to understand turbines." Okay, so... have you ever seen one of those little windmill toys with the spinning plastic on the straw? If yes, awesome. If no, go find an example on the internet and watch it, then get back to me here. Okay, back? Never left and are good? Yes? Okay. Now, a turbine is just one of those, but now it's much stronger, and attached to its "straw" a different way. We call it an axle in this case. Like how a cars wheels have axles. They do essentially the same thing. They help make it so when the fan blades move, the whole thing moves. That movement, is what makes it so we can produce energy. That energy from the movement, is converted into electrical energy because the moving axle is also connected to a generator with spinning magnets near copper coils. Those magnets get their movement from that axle. In power generation, we tend to move the fan blades with steam, because it's a directionable source of inertia due to its capable to produce kinetic force.(It moves things when you point it at them with high enough pressure.) Kind of like how if you have a pressure washer, or a garden hose with a good water pressure and a 'jet' attachment on it, will be able to break apart soil, push things around, etc. They increase the kinetic force of the water or air, or steam, etc. Sand blasters are the same deal, more pressure, but now with grit. So, to summarize. Turbines, are just a fancy fan, that spins an axle, that is often attached to a generator, which has magnets that take that movement and turn it into power by spinning near copper coils to produce inductive current. I think, if I got that all right. Some terms might be better replaced with other terms, but the overall idea is correct. Source: Literally certified to work with this stuff, at a basic level. Or was. You have to get re-certified every so often, due to the danger of this stuff.
@@petermgruhn Probably so. A toy in the sense of scale at any rate. The question is, does he have it employed doing useful work, or not. If he's got a farm and the dam is actually performing its function as a dam, even at a reduced scale, then it's no longer a toy in a proper sense. I don't think that comes across in the video one way or the other.
I am a concrete finisher, but I do lots of forming too. Very impressed with how you put the forms together for this pour, it's obviously not your first rodeo! One thing I would suggest (if you didn't already do it) is to oil the 4x4s that you used to help get a cleaner removal, though am certainly reaching a little bit with that criticism given the slump you used. Cheers and all the best from Canada
I can’t believe he did that in 15 minutes. But seriously, this is a huge project and this dude is likely an engineer and clearly a master craftsman. Nice work.
Bro did someone drop you when you were little? Cement doesn't dry in 15 minutes and if u even watched it properly u can see the day getting dark and the next clip is in daytime its called editing mate
@@tuberantz4676 1. its not a large scale project 2. simple enough to be done by one person 3. literally do not need mechanical tools 4. most, if not all of the process is shown in the video. 5. how tf do you fake building a whole ass dam 💀💀
Impressive! I’ve been putting off doing some simple concrete work in my yard and watching you with that trowel has inspired me to get it done. Nice build.
Your attention to detail sir, is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy watching your project builds and I’m never left disappointed with the result. Thank you for your work and presenting it for all to see.
I just want to say, this guy needs to be seen more and get much more likes. I have seen someone get more likes just putting a Lego Star Wars model together and that's someone who is given all the exact parts and a map. This guy builds his from scratch and it's functional. You can't even compare this to how much work he did and is underappreciated. ❤❤🙏🙏👍👍
As someone who has no idea about engineering, the fact that he did things I didn't understand at first place but made sense later in the video. Shows me that he clearly has understanding of what he is doing.
This was awesome. It also made me wonder how crazy a hydro electric dam is. Such massive structures, needing to withstand such pressure and be on solid footing. Knowing how erosion would work. Diverting a river temporarily. Learning how to use the force of gravity pulling on the water to spin copper coils to make electricity. Humans are a collective brain. Ask me to build a damn myself and I would have no clue but as a collective we have the knowledge to do amazing things like building a dam.
I can honestly say I've never had "build my own hydro power plant" on a to-do list. But, seeing this type of genius and ingenuity makes me want to. Haha. This is one of the most incredible things I've seen done with few resources. (..and was that chicken wire hook made from an unraveled metal hanger?..) 😂 Anyway, this is magnificent.
Saved your fingers from what pain????? You haven't built any hydro dam lolol good god people, just can't stop running their mouths and lying online lol
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
Beautiful work. I assume you would get even more power generation if you had the turbine at the bottom of the tube, so gravity had a chance to affect the water more. However as-is, it provides enough for what it needs. I love stuff like this. As a kid I used to build small dams at a local creek (probably 10% of the size of this one) and would try to mimic hydroelectric dams (minus the actual turbines), so this is also ultra nostalgic.
Never saw your channel before. Randomly popped in my recommended. At first, i thought that this was only a miniature replica of an actual dam and nothing was serious. But then, i stayed to watch because i got curious. And at the end, i realised that he actually made it for real. I'm impressed.
You are an Engineer in the making.you don't have to go to fancy schools with fee's over the roof.i know in your country there are good and honest leaders who can help with such projects that will help your community.God bless you.🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🙏
Very nicely done. In addition to lowering the turbine rotor further down in the shaft, It might help to put a bushing at the lower end of the turbine shaft to keep it from wobbling. The deeper the turbine, the more that shaft will need to be supported. Very impressive work, I'm going to have to look at the rest of your channel.

Yeah I mean you can see the dirt that was excavated to make this “stream” in the background. Still a cool video though. Honestly probably better that he did it in the fake environment rather than on a real stream
i was wondering the same thing but you can see at 10:20 for example that there is a stream there going into a pipe that probably goes underneath the "dam" to the other side whilest its being built edit: at 10:50 you can clearly see the pipe as well
Outstanding work! I am blown away by the incredible details and perfect craftsmanship! Excellent job! I was completely mesmerized by your project from beginning to end!
@Tran-Chien, I am impressed by your diligence and ingenuity, as well as the considerable effort and care you displayed in making this dam. Most of all, I was impressed by your ability to accomplish this with some basic hand tools and items that you had created. Thank you for an enjoyable video, Sir.
Wonderful model. This whole thing feels like a Primitive Technology video, with nothing but the sight and sounds of your work. And it's amazing to think of the science and engineering behind the construction of these things.
Such accurate measurements and calculations. All dimensions were proportionate and the final design was very well planned. You got numerous aspects in order for the science to show it's magic. Great. Thank You.
Energy production is an altogether different Art ! This is a beautiful model and I really really hope that this lad gets an appetite for some physics and maths - after which he will be Dangerous !
I was mesmerised by this, really really enjoyed every bit. And since you also have positive comments from people claiming to be in the industry just shows how awesome you are. Bravo!!
Regardless of the size of the project, installing the turbine at the base of the dam will add additional energy for the running water. It is the potential energy based on the difference of height between the level of water in the pool / stream, and the installation height of the turbine. Then, if sealing the generator is complicated, you can just use a long shaft between the turbine and the axis of the generator, to keep the generator out of the reach of water. Nevertheless, interesting video, interesting undertake, congratulations.
If this was build large scale as an energy supply it would be nothing less that "Con-artistry". It could never give a return on the investment. "Art" must remain OUT of Engineering because of the above fact - until a sufficient grasp of physical reality is Proven.
@@jdamommio This is a hobby project. Applying this on a large scale would most definitely lead to disastrously outcomes. So, yes, in this case it is the critic who counts.
I love this! It's the kind of thing my brothers and dreamed about doing in a gully behind our house when we were kids. We just lacked the skills to do it this well. Good to see a grown man who still enjoys playing in the muck like a kid.
"Getting "Bigger and better" is what caused the disastrous proliferation of so called "Windfarms". There is no basis in physical reality for it. It's an assumption that bigger will be better. And assumption is the Mother of All Cock-ups. In the case of windfarms - or any instance of a Turbine driving an Alternator - it turns out that bigger - or smaller - is not necessarily better (cheaper per kW-hr) There is an optimum size, which is the size where the Turbine costs about the same as the Alternator. This is because the two items exhibit Opposite "economy of Scale" !! This is a Huge fact entirely overlooked by the industry and has lead to economic disaster.
Excellent work. I love the way you made the hydrodam so like real life. I can imagine it as the start of a whole model village powered by the electricity from the hydrodam.

The pipe needs to be tapered same as a stream of water falling from a "quiet" tap, if you see what I mean. As the water accelerates under gravity, it's xsa reduces. Otherwise there would be a higher ltr/sec at the bottom than at the top ! (duh !)

Was about to tell him the same.
True. But what about the way it was built into the dirt off to the sides. This is incredible small scale work and I watched the amazing care and detail he put into it twice. Fantastic!
But I fear the water seeping into the dirt at the sides will eventually work it's way around the limited concrete there and breach lol!

I think, if I got that all right. Some terms might be better replaced with other terms, but the overall idea is correct.

He did build a toy.
@@petermgruhn Probably so. A toy in the sense of scale at any rate. The question is, does he have it employed doing useful work, or not. If he's got a farm and the dam is actually performing its function as a dam, even at a reduced scale, then it's no longer a toy in a proper sense. I don't think that comes across in the video one way or the other.
I am a concrete finisher, but I do lots of forming too. Very impressed with how you put the forms together for this pour, it's obviously not your first rodeo! One thing I would suggest (if you didn't already do it) is to oil the 4x4s that you used to help get a cleaner removal, though am certainly reaching a little bit with that criticism given the slump you used. Cheers and all the best from Canada

This was awesome. It also made me wonder how crazy a hydro electric dam is. Such massive structures, needing to withstand such pressure and be on solid footing. Knowing how erosion would work. Diverting a river temporarily. Learning how to use the force of gravity pulling on the water to spin copper coils to make electricity. Humans are a collective brain. Ask me to build a damn myself and I would have no clue but as a collective we have the knowledge to do amazing things like building a dam.

@@rollingredknuckles With the pipes narrowing continuously all the way down.
Beautiful work. I assume you would get even more power generation if you had the turbine at the bottom of the tube, so gravity had a chance to affect the water more. However as-is, it provides enough for what it needs. I love stuff like this. As a kid I used to build small dams at a local creek (probably 10% of the size of this one) and would try to mimic hydroelectric dams (minus the actual turbines), so this is also ultra nostalgic.

Very nicely done. In addition to lowering the turbine rotor further down in the shaft, It might help to put a bushing at the lower end of the turbine shaft to keep it from wobbling. The deeper the turbine, the more that shaft will need to be supported. Very impressive work, I'm going to have to look at the rest of your channel.

Yeah I mean you can see the dirt that was excavated to make this “stream” in the background. Still a cool video though. Honestly probably better that he did it in the fake environment rather than on a real stream
Would you rather he damn off a real stream with wildlife and fuck the ecosystem up?
i was wondering the same thing but you can see at 10:20 for example that there is a stream there going into a pipe that probably goes underneath the "dam" to the other side whilest its being built
edit: at 10:50 you can clearly see the pipe as well

Regardless of the size of the project, installing the turbine at the base of the dam will add additional energy for the running water. It is the potential energy based on the difference of height between the level of water in the pool / stream, and the installation height of the turbine. Then, if sealing the generator is complicated, you can just use a long shaft between the turbine and the axis of the generator, to keep the generator out of the reach of water.
Nevertheless, interesting video, interesting undertake, congratulations.
Yes, thank you so much 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@hosadaye.global5540 - - Can you provide working visa for him? Or at least, to make sure that he gets approved for a tourist visa?
If this was build large scale as an energy supply it would be nothing less that "Con-artistry". It could never give a return on the investment. "Art" must remain OUT of Engineering because of the above fact - until a sufficient grasp of physical reality is Proven.

Thank you for encouraging me to try
"Getting "Bigger and better" is what caused the disastrous proliferation of so called "Windfarms". There is no basis in physical reality for it. It's an assumption that bigger will be better. And assumption is the Mother of All Cock-ups.
In the case of windfarms - or any instance of a Turbine driving an Alternator - it turns out that bigger - or smaller - is not necessarily better (cheaper per kW-hr) There is an optimum size, which is the size where the Turbine costs about the same as the Alternator. This is because the two items exhibit Opposite "economy of Scale" !!
This is a Huge fact entirely overlooked by the industry and has lead to economic disaster.
