Was anyone else triggered by all the water leaking out of the turbine enclosure though?!

Not sure if the side cover had been fitted for that bit of video. He was resetting the nozzles to maximise the kinetic energy collected by the spoons.

I found the video interesting - not so much ‘tuning’, more like just setting it up properly instead of the original installation using bits and pieces to hand at the time!
