      Hey Jason, this setup looks awesome. I believe you'd get a better venturi effect by adapting up at the beginning to funnel MORE water in. This will force more flow into the smaller pipe creating higher pressure in the line. That will in turn create a greater vacuum on your suction pipe. If you put a restrictor on the suction hose end like say a hose barb or something, that should also increase the vacuum pressure. You may have to adapt up also at the end going into your sluice to drop the pressure again so it doesn't wash out your sluice.

    IMO, as a journeyman pipefitter, you need to remove the restricted Y and allow as much suction to be created as possible by the venturi effect. Replace that Y with a sanitary Y and have it reduced with a bushing for your suction line.

    You can gravity dredge with just pipe and hose. No need for the Venturi. Here are the basic principles. The discharge end of your pipe must always be lower than the intake end of your hose. Keep your pipe and hose as straight as possible. No dips and no bends or material will begin to clog up. All connections in your pipe must be air tight. Any leakage will drastically reduce suction. Gorilla tape is great for sealing connections and works even when wet. You need a quick connect system to hook your hose to your pipe. If you use pipe that has a male and a female end,you can cut a small piece off the male end of the pipe and Gorilla tape it to your hose. Start by setting your pipe up first. You want at least two feet of vertical drop between the intake end and the discharge end of the pipe. Place the intake end at least three inches under water. Pin the intake end in place with heavy rocks. When your pipe is set up properly and is producing adequate suction, fill the hose with water and then quick connect to the pipe under water. Your pipe is set up with a female end upstream. To quick connect just plug the male hose end into the female end of the pipe. When this connection is made, seal it underwater with Gorilla tape. Resist the temptation to jam the quick connect connection too tightly. You will need to get it unstuck when you are done. When you are running do not overload the system with material. The art of gravity dredging is in a proper balance of material and water. When properly set up your your gravity dredge will provide suction comparable to that provided by a motorized dredge. Remember, if the intake end of the hose is lower than the discharge end of the pipe your suction stops. Looks like you don’t have much drop in that location. If you want to work that spot you will probably need longer pipe. Aloha

Another useful general principle is to use the least amount of pipe sections you can after sufficient vertical drop is achieved. Four inch pipe with two feet of vertical drop will generate enough suction to tear tendons in your wrist

You cannot create additional pressure by creating additional flow larger pipe into smaller pipe. It actually works in reverse. The reduction actually creates back pressure, which slows the flow and reduces the pressure.

    I'm thinking, instead of a restrictor at the top, put a bigger pipe and funnel it into the tube. The more water you can converge into your 2 inch pipe, the faster the water moves through the pipe, creating a stronger venturi effect at the Y point.

    Which way did you install the 'Y'? The way you were showing it before the install seemed reversed to me. IMO, the two openings should be upstream instead of down. Thus, the water in the main pipe rushes PAST the opening creating suction. The other way the flow would get diverted from the main pipe INTO the side pipe and create pressure.

    Jason, just hook your dredging hose to the top of the pipe. You just have to pay attention to the sand/water ratio so it doesn't plug. To use that setup with a suction nozzle, you'd need 50-100 psi, and you just don't have enough slope for that, unless you want to lay out about 1/2 mile of pipe...LOL. Good episode in any case.

    The Biggest Challenge with the Water Pipe can be seen when you lift the Discharge End out of the Water and show the Flow. The Flow is too Smooth.
    The Problem is that you have Laminar (Smooth and Calm) Flow in the pIpe and this causes a lot of Resistance to the flow.
    If you look at Appliance Discharge Hoses you will see that they are almost always corrugated. This produces Non-Laminar Flow (Bubbly and Fast).
    You need to change the Flow in the Pipe to Non-Laminar Flow in order to Really Increase the Water Velocity. That's how the Stream Works.
    The Stream Bed has Obstructions, the Pipe does not. So you are actually slowing the Stream Water down in the Pipe. [This is CounterIntuitive]
    The only Suction you are feeling is due to the Water Height Drop (Head Height) and not due to a Flow Differentiation or Venturi Effect.

    ...that sucks when ur sucker don't suck 😥 I'm thinking a taper on your main line might be required, then have your y connection smaller.Put the small end at the sluice end to build pressure. All you have is volume and no pressure on your setup today. Pressure will create water speed, which will cause vacuum. 2" to 1 3/4" to 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" then to dredge to sluice. Volume in the top, pressure at the bottom. Pressure causes vacuum, not volume??? The faster you move the water, the more suction should be created???🤔✌️😎

  • @Crozbyguy-rg1iu
    @Crozbyguy-rg1iu 6 месяцев назад +1

    Velocity and pressure of 2 inch pipe. You have 27.2 pounds of water in 2 inch pipe, so at vertical it'll have great pressure and velocity. Half that at 45 degrees or 13.6 pounds , half that at 22-1/2 degrees (6.8 pounds) so at 5 degrees it's 1.7 pounds. Not much weight. So do some test at home to know when you can get the velocity high enough
    Far be it from easy, but I found that building a little damn to raise the water level helps the syphon drop for my rig. I had 25 foot of 1-1/4 clear vinyl tubing to run a paddle wheel rocker sluice. I let it run for a month. I have the video.

    Go big to little. Make a dam to get water built up, (funnel to increase water access maybe like sluice flare if the mood strikes you) then downstream. (a barley pop from mother natures fridge) Downstream, put in the reducer to increase water pressure (your venturi), and then the Y joint for your sucker. If you have 2" of water coming in, then go down to 1", the cross-section area difference is about 4x, so 2x 1" would still get you 2x the water value of the 2". That should suck. I think.
    Another thing I see a lot of is that with those flares at top of the sluice (making the V everyone is told they want), the material all tends towards the center rather than being worked over the whole mat, so peeps only get about 3" of working mat in a 10" box. If it's all packin the cetner, that might be where your flakes are jumping ship.

    Every restriction, or downsizing of the pipe would increase the velocity of the water, I suggest at least 2 reductions in size. Start big. You would then pull your "wye" or suction end off the bottom third section of pipe of faster water thats increased in velocity. There your venturi/vacuum effect will be highest. You'll have to be careful with the rocks you suck in, as the reductions in size will obviously cause some plugs unless you have a cage on the suction end, I suggest a couple deck screws through your sucking end to prevent this.

    The idea of the 4" pipe constricted to a 2" should help bunches. But if you can add a flare or cone to the 4" entrance, you should be able to force even more water than before, might have to figure out how to slow down the volume, it might be like a fire-hose! Probably won't need to lug 100ft of pipe either.

  • @hershellodle6667
    @hershellodle6667 6 месяцев назад +1

    You need 100’ of pipe minimum from what I’ve done. Also 3” or 4” pipe would make a huge difference. No y needed just use your hose.

    Definitely have to work on the siphon idea. Looks like it might make things easier. Maybe take some ideas from a sandblast siphon. Don't give up looks like it'll work. And then let the gold flow. Great video once again. Thanks

    What about putting the intake opening under a classifier and shoveling into that. It would avoid clogs. But that may defeat what you are trying to accomplish.

    Yes Jason 4” down to 2” plus the Y the Y part should face upstream …. I think that’s the ticket 👍👍👍

    @Squale-65 6 месяцев назад +1

    Good effort, you will get it ✌🏼ever try the water flowing from pipes to a hose into a actual 2” dredge nozzle and out to hose or pipe to the sluice 🤔 might get better suction with a better nozzle.
    don’t know if this make sense to you but just a thought cobbles🍻✌🏼

  • @theshishow4942
    @theshishow4942 6 месяцев назад +1

    I've made a couple different types of dredges and from what I've found is you start out with like 6" pipe 3 to 4 feet long then down to a 4" 3 or 4 foot long then go down to your 2" that will create more pressure and faster flow past your Y and in turn should create a lot more suction. But you might have to put a crash box and your sluce to keep from blasting the material off your mats. Hope that helps.

  • @brandonjackson1434
    @brandonjackson1434 6 месяцев назад +1

    Well on a regular dredge hose the pressure supply comes in from the side ,and the suction is at the end maybe a 3" 20' up to a flare to build a little extra head pressure,down to a reducer at the 2" Y then a 2" up to hose and 2" down to box and maybe play with increasing pipe size from Y to box ,love great idea and I believe it will work

  • @Lawrence-s3z

    Hey, I’m super new to this stuff and just learning a lot. What is that stuff you have on the top of your slick plate is that a 3M material? I know some people just use an indicator strip. What is the purpose of lining the whole slick plate?

    • @FlourgoldWizards
      @FlourgoldWizards  6 месяцев назад +1

      The main part is roofing rubber held down by 3m tape. I can see gold flakes that get washed down last as you scoop material on, i know if im putting gold in my system this way ✅

    Maybe a funnel at the top to increase the velocity in the 2 inch pipe? A lot lighter than 4inch pvc 🤣

  • @williambrink1080
    @williambrink1080 6 месяцев назад +1

    Forget the Y. Put your suction hose at the upstream end and use the siphon effect. I have seen videos of guys using a 4 inch gravity dredge. Love your videos. Give your dogs a scratch behind the ears for me.

    You have a tough situation with such a shallow amount of drop to create a suction dredge. I agree with the 4” pipe idea with a reducer. Have some great, heavy pans Jason!

  • @NevermoreProspecting
    @NevermoreProspecting 6 месяцев назад +3

    Hey, if you want to increase the pressure, you need to have a need to change a Doctor from 2 inch to like 1 and 3/4 or 1 and a 1/2 inch type and that will help increase your pressure down at the sluice.Hope this helps thanks bye

    • @offgridbc6810
      @offgridbc6810 6 месяцев назад +1

      The only way you can increase the pressure (psi) is by getting more head on your intake pipe, psi is psi and is only created by head height or by mechanical means. A lot of people confuse velocity with psi.

  • @dustinhebert330
    @dustinhebert330 6 месяцев назад +1

    Hey the wye is a good idea, but turn the wye around so the water can't blow out the wye, it will just blow past and create the suction your looking for I believe:)

    • @FlourgoldWizards
      @FlourgoldWizards  6 месяцев назад

      It was turned around in the water but still didn’t have the pressure needed ✅

  • @illernpiller
    @illernpiller 6 месяцев назад +1

    You don't need a venturi, all you need is pipe, hose (or along enough hose if no pipe), then you need enough drop in the river without the drop it wont work well. The river doesn't really seem to have enough drop from what i've seen so far. You need a drop of about at least 3-4 feet i'd say, and also put the suction hose on the inlet.

  • @RichardSiegfried-n3l
    @RichardSiegfried-n3l 6 месяцев назад +1

    And maybe go from the size pipe you're using to a larger pipe by the sleuth to create more suction

  • @danmartin8892
    @danmartin8892 6 месяцев назад +1

    I'm no expert, but look at your sluice. It has the flair at the top to channel more water over the riffles. Instead of a reducer at the top of your pipe I would try using a 4 inch to 2 inch coupler to channel more water into the pipe to increase flow and pressure in the lower end.

  • @robertcraig8510
    @robertcraig8510 6 месяцев назад +1

    You can also try it with the Y connector wherever along the pipe where you want to suck. Once you get flow going in the pipes, completely block off the end upstream and that should put all suction at the end of the hose.

    ? Bigger tee in middle connected to a above the water box and hopper with a screen to block bigger stones and manually dump the material down big hole to exit faster over a longer 4 ft mat or something like that lol.
