Introducing "The Jerry wheel" ! Awesome craftsmanship Jerry. What a blessing to have him as your carpenter.
Agreed
Take your like and get out
Jerry is a true American Craftsman. We got to the moon with men like him.
Agreed
You didn't go to the moon, son. Don't get carried away. You was drunk, on PCP and Cartel Meth and you jumped out in traffic that night and got hit by a pickup truck and you lay there on your back looking up at the moon. C'mon now. You know what happened.🥖
@@jukeboxhero1649 Lmao You are probably right :)
@@jukeboxhero1649 what language are you attempting to write?
@@alabastardmasterson polish, it's for you. Because I want to be inclusive. No Pollack left behind, or right behind for that matter
Clever craftsmanship is so under-rated. Touche, Jerry.
I’ve just binge watched the water wheel & I’m absolutely hooked!!! Hurry with the next episode!!!🤓
Everyone needs a Jerry! The knowledge he has is amazing!
That’s So Cool,Jerry is one heck of a guy,he’s Amazing !! Great Job Guys
Good
This has got to be a particularly gratifying project for all you. Really cool.
Jerry is awesome, he's having a last doing all this stuff. great to see
Wow! Jerry knows so many things. You've found a master builder.
I'm mightily impressed! As with any project, there are always workarounds when you hit a snag.
Thanks
It's not just practical, it's also beautiful.
Wow! A water wheel for the hydroelectric power made from an old wagon wheel? Awesome!
I just might get the same thing for my hydroelectric power for my off-grid house one day.
This is so awesome! Watched with a smile on my face. It's so wonderful seeing people work together to make life better. God bless you all
Thanks 😊
Wow that is awesome. That Jerry is one great guy. Please tell him so too. 🤗. Love y’all
Thanks
The amount of energy you could make with this when the trowel is running fully using a very high ratio gearbox. You can make tons of power with the right electronics and mechanics. All the hard work has been done by this genius of a man Jerry.
I love water wheels. Brazos Farm here in Waco has one that is used to grind wheat. I could sit and watch and listen forever
Me too! Love them, love this one so much. Inspiring
Wow!! Beautiful handiwork you guys. You must be very proud!
Thank you
👍👍
There is "Something" very special about water wheels. Rather like watching the flames of a fireplace ... hypnotizing. It seems to me that this is an "old time" resource that can be brought up to todays standards of power generation. FANTASTIC video folks. Well done by ALL involved. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
I am absolutely loving these off grid cabin videos!
Same
You lucky, lucky, lucky bastard! Pretty wife, lovely kids, great friends and a fantastic property with an amazing spring for free electricity!
What more could any man ask for? I’m truly envious.
I just love watching your adventure unfold. Hi from Australia.
Thanks 😊
@12:43 Able to get it turning with such a weak stream, very impressive and shows how well made it is, thanks for doing a small weak stream test, :D
Wow beautiful people do beautiful things 🥰
we all need a Jerry in our lives lol wish he was here so we can build a cabin lol awesome wheel so excited to see it all come together going to be so nice :)
Thanks
Very cool 👍. Once again, Jerry is a genius 👍. Just one more thing... God bless y’all 🙏✌️
This has got to be a particularly gratifying project for all you. Really cool....
Thank you
A trick to remember is that the rubber of the belt will gradually dry out with the sun and heat. Mitigate this by coating it with some vaseline. Just get a chip brush and coat it. It works well with anything rubber, car door gaskets, fridge gaskets, etc. . Vaseline was born from the creation of gasoline as a byproduct of the process. It keeps the rubber suple and oiled up...
Thank you
Thank you for sharing that helpful trick! Coating the rubber with vaseline sounds like a great way to extend its lifespan. By the way, if you're looking for a reliable power backup solution for your outdoor adventures, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and even waterproof technology. Definitely a game-changer for camping and RV enthusiasts!
That’s so awesome!! Love the water wheel and so clever. (smart) 🤩🤩 Great job guys!!💕
Thank you 😊
Jerry is Genius!!!love him 💜💜💜💜
Words can't describe guys
Man!!!!
That water wheel is amazing! Jerry is so talented! What a gift he has!
Thank you 😊
Jerry: "I did a little of this and some more of that. Cut some here and sanded some there. A touch 'O paint and 'er ya go!" 🤠
Looking at videos on dams and water wheels is what led me into homesteading. I plan to do this one day! :)
Cool
Such beautiful craftsmanship I could look at this for hours. As an ex welder albeit on motor vehicles this makes me happy. You should all be very proud of yourselves.
Thanks 😊
Hi Channel Loftis. I really liked your water wheel and power generation projects. Very cool. I live in São Paulo in Brazil and here we have incredible hydraulic potential because we have several rivers. Although most of the power generation here in Brazil is from hydroelectric plants (approximately 85%). I also have a channel that I have several small-scale projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I'm sorry for my very bad English 😩😩. Hugs and much success in the projects.
Truly a thing of beauty. Well done.
That is so Cool! Awesome Knowledge and ability to put it into practice! That Waterwheel will be a beautiful thing to watch - Sittin and Sippin by the pond! ;) The sound of that Waterwheel turning - reminds me of the sound of a steam train! It is a beautiful thing!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful wheel. Very inspiring project 🙌🙌
Jerry is a bad ass and im in love with Jerry 's brain and work ethic
I've always wanted to do something like this. Thanks for all of the great ideas. Good luck with the installation.
Good project and best in shooting the views this is how the experts do.
That wheel is amazing! Looks like it should be in silver dollar city.
You should do a long recording of the water going in to the wheel. The "Fwap, Fwap, Fwap." So soothing and would be a great sleeping white noise.
Thanks
Awesome work and Jerry is very skill full. Stay safe and God bless
Thanks
Just need more people like you to make a difference in this world. Good job 😀
Thanks
Great job Jerry! I Love to see common sense ingenuity! Sure wish I had a Jerry to help me with my projects!
Watching this video I couldn’t help but think, the world needs more Jerry’s.
Been a couple of weeks since I saw this video for the first time, but I´m intriqued to know all about the watts and efficiency of that water-wheel so I caught myself checking if a new video is up manually everyday now 😄..still waiting! And that is the formula how you create good content on YT. Big thumbs up from Sweden!
Can wait to see it up and making electricity for you. Good job all of you.
God bless
Bob
Really cool project thanks for bringing us along.
You might look into a Tesla home battery or something similar and have your wheel charging .
You might consider one gusset on the back side of your dam.
I'd also consider car hub bearings for your water wheel hub.
Thats awesome craftsmanship, and an ingenious idea
Really good stuff, can't wait to see the finalized video of everything working and the final walk around.
Thanks Kevin!!
Congratulations! My grandfather build a wood water wheel in 1950 for a mill here in Chapecó city, Brazil. 4m x 0,8m all wood. In 1990 i was a child and remember the water wheel in front of the site. Unfortunately my family don´t took care and rotted. Today we have photos only.
Wow that's cool I wish I could do something like that on my property
Great job Jerry! Genius craftsmanship.
Im not a hundred percent sure about this especially when it comes to hydro, but even if you don't get the RPM you need to produce the voltage via gear/pully shenanagins.. Can you still hook up a MPPT charge controller to help convert and regulate the low and high voltage fluctuation and produce a constant stream of usable power?
Maybe its called a Inverter or something. I know the Tech/equipment exists i just don't remember the name of the equipment, but basically you're looking for something that stabilizes fluctuations in Volts and Amps and gives you a desired output at either a constant amperage or voltage. its my understanding you can only have 1 either a desired volts, or a desired amps. and then you can run that through another peace of equipment to charge batteries or power your cabin. Then again i haven't looked into this in over 10 years which is why my memory is faulty at the moment. Anyway in that 10 years time they may have improved the design even more and allow you to have a constant output of desired volts and amps.
Either way this gives you something to look for and work with if your design isn't exactly to spec. it will also help improve your power plant because mother nature doesn't do the same thing all day every day, shes Tri-polar (i was going to say Bi-Polar but i thought this would be 'Funnier/Punnier').
If you cant find the equipment im talking about then ill go look for specifics, and reply to this if you want me to. That is if someone else doesn't reply to this 1st with the name of the equipment.
PS: Really cool project and channel i subbed cuz i want to see where this goes. Thanks for sharing this.
The electric company must love you guys. Water wheel great idea. Your crew are the best.
you can heat the jacuzzi with the dump load electric overflow and you can fill it and drain it from the spring ? haha....it is Great what you folks are doing...bless Yah...doug
That was magic in motion,just pure magic.all the very very best from London U.K. You have me on the hook,now subbed thank you
Thanks
OMG - that is so cool !!!!! ❤ Jerry
Thanks
Wow now that's cool.
Jerry is a true GOAT!!!! ( Greatest of all time )
this is very beautiful and amazing
Looks like your fan club is all in agreement here!
Finally 😆😉
I need that Jerry to solve alot at my life 😁.... Smart guy.
What a awesome water wheel Amazing work I love it I can sit and watch it spin well done guys.
Thanks
Using wagon wheels is very cool
This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing
Wow, spared no expense.
I'm need one Jerry. The man is the best.
👍
WOW BEAUTIFUL
I like the full video clip from the beginning to completion of the project.
Not sure how I ended up here, but it is so fascinating I had to subscribe. Living in Germany, surrounded by ancient water Mills, I would tend to call the pool behind the dam, "The Mill Pond".
Going to really enjoy this.
Really nice! Great job Jerry!
Outstanding Water Wheel Sir!!!
It’s gonna work!! 🙏
Thanks
Genius work no doubt
..aweSOME as always jerry... you give him a challenge.. he's definitely impressive at presenting an amazing and functional solution..
Brava..once again sir...
The water wheel will most definitely (hopefully provide the power y'all need) but will be such a quaint and unique ambience to the Loftis family off-grid oasis... thank you as always for sharing ☮️ &🌱's
Thanks
@@LoftisPartyofSix
..welcome...👍
Ok jerry you are not a craftsman . You Sir are an Artist that wheel is amazing
Nice water wheel, impressive!
Fantastic!
I would put some mortar under the metal pieces that hold the water wheel bearings.
Paint the metal quick!
In future crab grass over back of dam to hold dirt.
Put a little house over the generator!
Wow this is pretty much what I was hoping to make in the future! So amazed to see this project! can't wait to see how much electricity it will produce.
Thanks
Great music and project!
Didn't realize Pandora had kicked on
It was on Dio channel.😂
What a amazing wheel. That will produce a lot of joy and light. Wish you all the best from Jan in Norway
A fantastic project, top class workmanship and a very entertaining video, what more could you want, congratulations...from Australia
Thanks
Just loving the creativeness of the project
Thanks
Just got done watching the house build video, finding this one as well has been amazing
Awesome project, dying to see the rest of it. Keep up the great work!
That looks fabulous, intriguing, and very beautiful. Jerry did a marvelous job with his ingenuity and talents. Looking forward to the finished wheel and water flow with the generator. Very exciting to watch and thanks for sharing.
Its beautiful.
Hope your plane work out well perfectly.
So dope! Awesome job! Beautiful Property!
I love the steel spokes. To be able to see through the wheel is very cool
Thanks
So basically you're friends with an engineering genius/ craftsman.
Cousin actually
@@LoftisPartyofSix How is Jerry related? To you or Lane ? Was the other man your dad Mike or Lane's dad? I love Jerry's accent .
They all cousins out thar...
Dang!!! Jerry is a Genius!! What an amazing waterwheel!!! Great Job!!
That is a very nice water wheel nice job 😎👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks
@Jerry great work man! Love the idea of using existing (old) material (wheel) and give it another life. 🙌😎
Perpetual spinning wheel one touch imagine it in a vaccum.Great Jerry.
Nice project !! Well done !!
This is the most amazing piece of work I have seen in a very long time. How in the world did they do it in the old days without cement, tracktors and all the modern equipment you used today, is just mind boggling.. Well done.....
Jerry - Is there anything he cannot do? Man! He's awesome and clearly enjoys his work.
That is a beautiful water wheel 😍
Thanks
