+Darren Lobb Apologies that I've just seen this post. It was just under 10m.

+Marty M. Hi, This project has now been running for a year and we may replace the bearings as part of its annual maintenance regime, depending on how they are doing. The main bearings are standard cartridge bearings available for a few pounds. The turbines also have an automated grease lubrication system that needs an annual recharge. Typical project costs depend hugely on site specific factors but might typically cost >£20k

@@350energylimited8 is it still operational?

Hi Its 2020, so 5 years on and the system is still running well.

I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

@Uriah Camdyn instablaster ;)

@Ryder Julien Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Ryder Julien It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass !

@Uriah Camdyn Glad I could help =)

And wifi

Just big enough to hold what's in there....

Why them ribbed pipes I'd expect smooth pipe inside pipe so water doesn't hit a edge 🙂

yes eight. dynamic head is quite low with all valves open.

thanks for such a quick answer. what would the static pressure be. what is the head of this installation?

the head on this project was a little under 10m, So about 1bar.

1bar = ~14psi in case anyone reading this later is curious about the sudden change in units ;)

Did he state the cost? If it’s supplying 100% of the house power and particularly if it’s under a generation tariff, then seems to be exactly what I’d want. I’m quite jealous as it happens

All systems have a custom manufacturing element

Ha ha ha

8 PSI when running fully open... Do you know the head pressure when not producing power? No, then shut up.

@@thepvporg with the amount this would cost it isn't worth it... Better off with a low head generator. Sorry I melted you snowflake.

@@HarryL2020 Still haven't got a clue have you? If you has an electric bill of say £1,000 a year, which is close to what mine is. For the investment of say a few hundred pounds, time, effort and then parts investment of a few thousand to offset a supply by 2 Kw per hour, or 48Kwh a day potential... "do the math" how much is that in domestic supply that you can offset? The average household pulls 14 Kw per day off the grid, if you are producing 48 Kw a day, then your pumping in to the grid and going to get money back off the utilities. In a couple of years, its paid for itself, the maintenance of the system, PART OF THE DEAL you idiot, so that cost HAS to be built in and most reasonable people would buy what they need and then spares on top so that they are able to effect repairs, only twats build a system that uses up all the parts, leaves a unit on back up, etc, sizing of systems, poor utilisation of resources and too many people not taking advantage of things like tesla turbines that require very little input energy to get spinning up to 200,000 rpm or something silly. The amount of energy and torque you can pull from a boundary layer method is possibly a better way to go. High torque means you can spin up a fly wheel which means you can then use inertial on a generator or the set up designed so that the energy is used to pump the water up to a higher elevation. Gravity can be utilised in many ways and energy extracted at various points. I have looked at all sorts of methods of energy recovery and hydro is just one area that can be improved upon through people experimenting and also applying, so fucking what if the set up is a low yield, so friggin what, whats your beef with it? Not good enough? Overly opinionated aren't we... One mans goose and all that buddy. So what part of cretin are you? The butt hole or the bellend? Snowflake, ffs, go blow your penstock...
