Have you seen the guy who converts washing machines into hydroelectric power plants. Stainless steel components so no rust. PVC pipes. He's in South America. Cheap & quick. DIY power is the future for everyone. Be it hydro. Solar. Wind. Most homes could generate their own power especially if built in from new.whole walls and roofs made from photovoltaic cells. All rain water used. Waste water also. It's time for house builders to step up to the challenge and take the lead. An estimated increase of only 15% could make most homes power neutral and some make money by feeding into the grid.

He had worked this thing 6 ways from Sunday when we lived in So Cal. I remember something going wrong with it up here before my grandparents moved up her, so my mom had to take it to a shop. I remember the mechanic, an older guy as well, started looking under the hood, then looked at my mom, and told her I don’t know how long you’ve had this this way but it should have never been able to start. He messed with it for a while, and when he was done told her whoever did this work new what they were doing. It shouldn’t have worked but it did. To this day that story just cracks me up. We always joke the every thing ran in “Perna” power.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm in the same boat. Good days and bad. I love having YT vid's. Just watching random stuff of interest keeps my mind from running out of control. I love watching DIYer's like these guys and am admittedly a bit sad I don't have what they have in terms of knowledge and friendship. Smart enough to figure out how to do something with what's on hand or cheap, but not so much that their smarts get in the way of creative thinking. I've got the imagination, just not the smarts to execute. I'm got a log bridge to build across a seasonal creek on my property and thought it be neat to set-up a small waterwheel to spin a motor to run some LED xmas lights to decorate the bridge at night in the dark months. The public uses the bridge as it's on a main hiking trail. Just thought it be a nice thing for people to experience on their hikes. Anyway. Hope you're doing well and year on now. Regards, Bert.

Great 👍 You should consider building these as a kit, mounted on a pallet, able to be disassembled to get into the woods. You would sell them like crazy. It is easy for people to build the water supply themselves. Your knowledge in building the unit is key. Good luck.

Since the drain from the generator drops something like 100 feet or more, why didn't you attach another tube and install another generator at the bottom before draining back into the stream? That way you could capture all that potential energy and generate more electricity from it.
