North Wales 1.5 Kw Hydroelectric System Update And Maintenance

Published 2024-04-26
I had a chance to get back to the turgo system to do a few jobs on it. mostly just a bit of maintenance and cleaning because turbo systems are very low maintenance. But I took the opportunity to do a little update video and show how much power it has produced so far.

    Wow. Two years already?! Time certainly does fly. The building still looks as fresh as the day it was built!

    This guy is the Real Deal on the Homestead sites...not like some west coast wrangle dangle that just has no creative know how at all...This guy is the one that should have two million subscribers...just check his video history it speaks for itself...🖖

    I remain in awe of your brilliance!!!! I am an elderly lady in the USA 🇺🇸 and never miss one of your videos. If 1/4 of the population of young men had your common sense,ingenuity and work ethic,this world would be right again.

    Kris, I'm a viewer from Newfoundland, here in Canada. Gotta say, man, I think you're one of the most skilled craftsmen on YouTube. You're a top notch fabricator and a masterful builder! I came upon your channel with the turbine project and I've been hooked ever since. I absolutely loved the finish and function of the water wheel. What's more, the overall engineering quality you've put into the turbine project is astounding. You know what, though, I think I always watch your new content because you're one of the most genuine, decent, down-to-earth human beings on YouTube. All the best for a million subs in short order. Cheers from "across the pond."

    Nice change of pace from the barn build, can hear the renewed enthusiasm in your voice from the very start. Tis indeed a treat to get a weekly update.
  • @XYGSteve
    Thanks for the update. It weirdly reminded me that the wet winter you've been dealing with is really a double-edge sword for you. On one hand, it slows the barn construction. On the other hand, it's really a wonderful advertisment for your custom Hydroelectric systems. Hopefully this update and all of the hard work on the waterwheel have generated more customers for you!
  • @telinoz1975
    Loved this project when it was done. From his own setup to this, big steps in improving the designs and the water wheel also showed more polish. Look forward to the next hydro project to see how high the bar is now. Kris always keeps evolving.
  • 650+ Watts from that flow is really something, and the numbers show how consistently You reached that. Congrats.

    Great to see an update. good job and keep the videos comming. 👍
  • @danodynamo
    I remember watching this project, time just flies

    Chris you are a clever bugger but what I like most is you support your work and that’s a huge thing in my book. Love you work, your projects and the broad spectrum of your channel. Well done mate
  • @curtkeisler7623
    Love your videos and your Marvel and your craftsmanship. please keep making these videos I enjoy

    Nice to see other projects revisited, also shows just how well designed they were in the first place. Relatively compact building and a huge amount of energy from what is a little more than a trickle. So many people could REALLY benefit from a system like that if installed as community projects.
  • @carlroge
    Really enjoyed the build and thanks for the update Kris
  • @TheDaf95xf
    Always fantastic see Kris doing his stuff as he’s so talented 👍🏻

    Kris you inspired me to try and fix my water pump issue! My biggest challenge was crawling under my house to check the water pump Air-Pump Pressure Switch. I tapped it with my screwdriver and it immediately started working again. It would have cost me a few hundred dollars to have a guy swap it out! I don't think I would have done that if I hadn't watched your videos!
  • @wolfe1970
    Another good reference, i average 1800 kwh hours in my 1 bed flat yearly, so that turbine could easily run a couple 1 bed flats
  • @John-N797
    Hard to believe its already 2 years since you installed this system!. Would want a visit at your system too. Its been a while. Your hydro system has a special place in my heart because its the one that brought me to this channel many years ago. Your work also speaks for itself because after 2 years the system is in great shape.
  • @jaydegier3892
    Thanks for sharing your video Kris of the turbo system maintenance. It doesn't seem like that much time has elapsed since you built it. It shows your brilliance in creating the system and it continues to function as you built it to. Great work again. Love watching your work, Coen and Jay
  • @B3ll3r0ph0nt3s
    Thank you very much for your videos. I really enjoy your Hydropower builds, and the barn lately, the 1.5kw Turbine was actually my entrypoint to your videos. I really love your mindset of doing things right, and not just finishing a job, and the way you make renewables and sustainable building really tangible. Thank you again, for your chill documentation of these projects!
