Kris Harbour installs a 1.5kW overshot waterwheel

[Stan]

He does mention the 3-phase when pointing out the isolation switch, about 38 minutes into part 1 of the installation.

[AGT]

It’s a wild 3 phase supply into a bridge rectifier

Here’s the next episode.

Great to see Stan, thanks. A huge amount of skill & effort has gone into that. 20 to 40kWh every day, what a resource! I'd have to mess about with the water entry into the buckets though. Some sort of rubber curtain on the chute to start with.and maybe curved foils on the bucket leading edge curving back into the bucket. Try it on.one and film it then playback slo mo, go from there. Just to control the slosh a bit.

Bloody outstanding job and that induction motor looks the part and in scale with the rest of the job. , well done Kris.

Eyes closed electric welding at 3:12, hardcore.

Worth a watch of Prt1 and the thought that its all built off of RE generated power.

[Stan]

Unfortunately, the waterwheel had a mechanical failure.

[Joeboy]

He's earned his money on that contract!
