If you want some pointers feel free to look at some of my designs . I built one of these years ago . Keep trying, widen your pipe . Your swivel i had some issues with debris getting stuck in it i had to widen out the holes and space them further .Keep up the good work. If you want to make them even cheaper you dont even need a circulation pump you can hook a garden hose or 2 to it & drill with fresh water although you just have to go extremely slow when you hit watersand this way it dont dig to quick & loose pipe. Also that design is old . I am in the process of making one that doesn't require a hand drill simply water . I can send you some of those designs also.

I can't wait to see these drawings thank you

I need this video in Spanish

@@stinkyvonfishstix4196 The drawings of the swivel have just been published

@wot I reccomended pinning ur comments on ur videos to make it easier for others to see if the comment section become too big

I thought you hated nerds and geeks

Time to meet your average dutch person!

In line with your quote.... those who say they cannot do a thing and those who say they can, BOTH are usually correct.

This really is one of the best KZfaq videos I've ever watched. Kudos.

thats a great quote to live by my friend :)

wade tell me how it goes im curious i jest spent 3k on my well.

I've sold my rigs to guys in Florida before . Florida's easy digging .

@@thhillbillyinventor105 you think between the clay and limestone?

@@gabriellencarnacion3310 yeah much easier than Texas I haven't found anything to bust through that hard rock that's cheap yet .Florida usually is sandy clay or sand . The carbite bits I use usually do the trick through clay .

@@thhillbillyinventor105 I'm very surprised by that. man. im going to have to build that then

I am a Petroleum Engineer I was thinking EXACTLY the same!

He still does not show blow out preventing.

@@alexlo7708 Blow out prevention isn't a concern for water well drillers as subterranean water isn't under pressure.

@@DominicNJ73 If anything the opposite is the problem lol

ฉันทึ่งในการเจาะ ฉันเพียงต้องการความลึกแค่8-11 เมตร(พท ของฉันมีแค่ดืนดานที่ขวางกั้นน้ำใต้ดิน เพื่อการเกษตร มีแค่สว่าน เครื่องดูดน้ำ ก็เจาะได้ ทึ่งมากๆ ขอบคุณ ที่ได้เห็น อุปกรณ์ที่คุณคิด ขอบคุณนักขุดเจาะน้ำมันครับ

Also the best Makita ad lol

I've seen worse built by "professionals drillers".

Try drilling a well in the desert Southwest with this and then get back to us! 🤣🤣🤣

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl) is the most toxic plastic for our health and the environment. PEX is safer but still leeches chemicals into water. Copper is good if the ground water is not acidic but big $$$$, Clay pipe is the safest for chemical contaminants but it's hard to install without breaking and professionals usually need to lay it. PVC will contaminate your gardens and ground water pretty badly though, pex is probably the best choice.

We.had ours clasped and we could only get it partly opened with full metal 308 rounds! I need this drill setup so.i can.get ours back open fully!

@@forposterity4031 Or use steel pipes, cheaper than copper and can withstand some amounts of low pH level (just less than 7). It doesn't contaminate the soil and the water much, but rusting can be a problem.

How deep do I have to drill to access water

@@luqmaanparakh8744Where I live, the comunity has a geological map with the local water table. Also, often farmers will know this, so maybe ask a local farmer.

Florida has hardly any rocks

I came here to say the same thing. Australian soil is baked harder than European soil obviously. My hand drill would have a motor burn out in the first 500mm

Even in the UK if you dig down even 2ft all I ever hit is rocks, or maybe I am just unlucky and always dig on crap land. 😅

My first thought, too. You hit a big rock, then what? Have you designed a tool to extract that out as well and continue drilling?

Yup. As a matter of fact, I'm from Calgary and we have tons of moraine and drumlins. So, usually more rock than ground!

Well done...well done...it's just a pun

@@CoinsAndCapsaicin dang, an accidental pun. Well spotted

How do you know how deep to go, asking for a friend

@@quinnjones2886 There is no "deep enuf" number in water bores. As the author noted, ask how deep the nearby wells are and base your well on that. The water bearing strata are a contour, much like the surface contour, but not necessarily an exact match. Remember about 3/4 of the water in a river is flowing under the ground under the river. Look at the lay of the land, read the contours, look at where the water flows on the surface, imagine where the underground steam would be. Ask the neighbours.

You've never drilled a well till you've fell in the hole, LOL. That's how my work day started, digging 2 3ft x 3ft holes. We went to using a mud pan saved a lot of work

I just realised this is why the drilling fluid is called liquid mud

Would this be a case of Not Seeing The Forest for The Trees 🤔, I have a Friend that when he's working on a project he blocks everything else going on around him . At one point we had worked at a Company that did Heavy Equipment Repair, He was office accountant an I was Shop Foreman . His Office was in "The Palace" as we called it , The Shop was a fare distance on the property. Every interaction with him was done on the phone , fax , other paperwork. One day he came down to Shop as I was in the processing stage of accident damage on one of our rentals , I looked up from a meeting with one staff when I saw him standing in front of office windows hands on his hips just looking around . I excused myself to approach him , Saying John how can I help you ? His reply was ok I get it now, Get what John ??. He goes so this is what REALLY runs The Company. I took pause , looked at John an stated yes this is what pays your wages . 🤔🤣

@@paulrooster2108 I think I was overcomplicating it in my mind and to see a small version like that simplified it

@@selfsufficientgardenmedic I love it when that moment occurs an things click , I get that angel singing with harp music in the background, the warm soft glow of the morning sun rising it's spectacular !! HAPPY NEW YEAR Garden Medic

@@paulrooster2108 Having worked in both the office and the field for a VERY large corporation this hits home. A lot of the people who never did field work had no idea what we really did. To them it was all paperwork, phone calls and meetings. Ya, they directed the company, but they had never even seen the work. As more and more of those types filtered in, the company slowly went to hell. More focused on stock prices than running the company. 25% decline in revenue over the last 10 years but the stock price is up! Idiots.

lmao I was thinking the same thing

That would be a winner KZfaq video though that would pay for itself!

hey! Another Alberta Rig Pig :)

What are the 7 signs of a kick?

@@jmorton3462 an increase in flow rate, pit volume increase, if your well is flowing when you aren't pumping, if you aren't getting proper fills when you trip, cut string weight and mud weight, and one more that I can't think of off the top of my head since it's been about a decade since I worked in the field.

How do you create the long clay plug? I assume you mean the contamination because one soil level has been punched through when drilling and the water would mix through the drill hole opening.

@@ssa7843 I think they mean like in the video when they insert clay into the pipe over the sand. Fill up sand in the good layer, then fill up clay pellets in the undesirable layer. But you have to drill to depth first. The casing isolates the good water on the way up.

At what depths would you find the water table, and did it vary a lot between different parts of the country?

I imagine that kind of well couldn’t be drilled with a simple DIY drill like this.

Deep water, bet nice and cold eh

@@daleval2182 deeper you go warmer it gets!

Its a wonder you dont have a lava well 😂

That's a very nice well you have. The many layers of rocks have a lot of running underground streams between them.

Im not sure its that easy finding water deep underground without the right technology in places so dry either... im not 100% sure but know some places still have todo test holes 100s of times

Yup, they could sell the drill and pipe and pay a coyote to smuggle them to Sweden.

Bill Gates don’t want that.

You can buy these little drill units readiLy available for last 50 years. No one puts it on KZfaq.

Indeed a sumppump and 2 larger settling holes is a good idea

i curious about the mechanism of it tooo how no water leaked out? mechanical seal?

Use of a hammer drill (kanga ir similar) along with a proper drill head and larger pump could probably overcome this but obviously would still have its limitations

When I lived at the Darling Downs, we had a well that was about 8-10’ to water, a bore on another part of the property that was maybe 14’ deep. Good flow too, it could continuously pump 1000gph with little drop. The water was so close to the surface, there were green patches of grass that stayed fresh, no matter how infrequent the rain. There was a spring fed creek on the property that never dried up. Some places are randomly lucky like that. 🤷‍♂️

Same. There must be a seal to allow the rotating pipe to retain pressure. Leaving this detail out stops others from replicating this.

I have not seen the kit here but it must work similarly to an oil pump in a car. The water is pumped into a manifold with the rotating pipe head running through it. This has several holes drilled from the center to the rotating edge within the manifold!

A swivel is used this allows one pipe to stay stationary but the other smaller pipe inside to spin freely . The inside pipe has slots in it. You can use a taper seal or a simple rubber seal. Don't overtighten bc friction will lock it up.

You have bigger tube attached to the frame where in one side is hole for water inlet. Inside this bigger tube there are two ball bearings (top and bottom) and also two seal rings to protect the ball bearing. Inside the bearing and seal ring is smaller pipe which have one end welded with shaft to the drill and the other end is to the drill attachment. The smaller pipe have also holes so the water can flow through the frame to drill end.

there are a link to a detailed drawing in the description

Consider using dc instead of Ac. I too in the begining used a ac drill before i got lit up .

@@thhillbillyinventor105 ... use an insulated drill with a plastic case and your electrical problem is solved. Also put some rubber heater hose on the metal handles as extra protection.

@@rupe53 my other design I don't even touch the drill when I'm drilling other than startup . That was solved and battery capacity also .

Also mine doesn't use metal its design was to be low cost and easily replaced . This is his version of one of my designs just in metal.

@@thhillbillyinventor105 plug in to a GFCI receptacle or add one to your extension cord.

The swivel we made ourself. Technical drawings will soon be published for if you wish to make your own

@@WOT_utwente how much longer on the drawings?

20 metres is a lot I think he went only 5m in the example.

@@zteaxon7787 depends on the soil . The one I designed years ago I did 60 ft and ran out of pipe . All he would need to go deeper is wider pipe and a bigger trash pump.

There are well drilling kits, machines available. The novelty here is it's made from very easily sourcable and cheap materials.

I have found that the bentonite pellets give you time to get them to settle to the sandpack interface before they start swelling. I've had to do a tremmie pipe with a pump if I use the bentonite powder slurry to get it to the sandpack interface, because it begins to swell quickly.

OK I see, you are talking about drilling mud, not the top seal. My apologies, you are correct!

sure selador, but often you have these spare sections of pipe in remote locations. No cap. This sort of demonstration allows people to envisage multiple uses for things.

The method shown also serves to round off the end, so the pipe goes into the borehole easier. A cap is "squared off" and offers more resistance, and may snag on the well wall.

Our caps are rounded. But both responses are very good points.

Use what you have on hand. I did a lot of plastic liner coring and we used the liner and caps for lots of things...
