Micro hydro project, Tak Province, Thailand

2 comments. As a veteran sprinkler for 15 years you chose a gate valve [2"]. If you had a ball valve there would be much less restriction of the water. The other comment and I realize you only have access to whatever materials are available but your 4X2 reducing coupling is also very restrictive. Here in the usa we have reducers that have a much more smooth transition to a small diameter pipe so as to reduce gpm loss. Its a great video as I hope to install something like that in the Philippines

Genius ! you re an Angel ! get the government to make a dam for you like Hoover in US.....you will be rich ! hahaha

Hello guys

does somebody know who sell this kind of turbine?

Ask the person who put his video on.

do you take the outlet water back to the intake tank?

Water is returns to the stream below the powerhouse.

thanks for your reply cgrean, where exactly do i get th book " pump as turbines" and what is the short form for ITDG. trying to help my friend to produce power in her permaculture farm. would really appreciate your help alot. thanks again

egn2020 was right... in the video I should have said "single phase". I had a brain fart for a moment since I was looking at two wires coming out...

In this particular project, we could have (and may in the future) add a second powerhouse about 30 meters below the existing powerhouse shown in the video, using the outflow from powerhouse #1 to power powerhouse #2.
