      @@manvsland Haven't you thought about putting a second pipe further down and another micropelton with the clean, swirled water, instead of wasting it in a fish pond? I have clients with this system
      as well as a customer instead of an electric generator, he has a stainless steel gear pump to bring water up
      I write advice out of passion...ecologically

    A great example of why you pressure test piping before putting it in service. Also you need a strainer and a relief valve ahead of the turbine. Easy to clog those nozzles and if you do it could hammer and break that PVC in a second.

      And a gate valve isn’t the right valve to throttle the water flow. If you leave it cracked open like that the seat is going to erode and the valve won’t seal. Ball valve or glove valve would be better.

      You're absolutely right! Should have pressure tested but luckily everything was ok. I'd love to put a strainer in before the turbine that was more easily accessible than taking apart the whole show but not sure how...
      Also never heard of a glove valve so I'll have to look into that - thanks!

      I got both my turbines from Spencer .super knowledgeable guy. I wouldn’t have ever been able to complete my solar / hydro project without him

    Make that bushing thinner. just sand it down a bit . put teflan tape on all the connections and you should be good to go.

      That's a great idea actually. Should be easy enough to sand down eh...Thanks!

    at 11"29 you can see the entire change in diameters for the flow of water, it should be progressively conical so as not to create turbulence disturbances which cause a loss of power, ditto for corners in the pipes... and ball valves (look internally at an open tap and ..... Good work

    • @manvsland

      Do you know how to achieve a progressively conical reduction from 3" to 1/4"? It's a great idea and would definitely reduce turbulence. I just used available schedule 40 pieces...

      a fireman's lance is conical just to give maximum performance

      Haha maybe I could modify a fireman's lance to spin the turbine! There's an idea 😂

    How old is this turbine? Where did you get it from?

    • @manvsland
      @manvsland  Год назад +1

      This turbine was made new for me with the specs from my system. It was made by Langston's Alternative Energy

      @@manvsland Thats a bit surprising to me. It should not have straigt up walls, as those would direct water up, hitting the wheel again, and causing energy losses! Also the more water goes up, the more water will get into the bearing.
