Working on my wheel. I am doing a under shot wheel so to maintain water preasure and to get more force from hitting the wheel from the bottom and turning backwards rather than over shot. the over is better looking but a under shot is more powerful in my situation.
Great videos! Do you have any suggestions on what size wood to use if making only a 2 foot wheel? Would I still use 2x4's and 2x6's or would that be just too clunky when put together? Thanks for the videos!
Great tutorial, thanks a lot! A few question: - why use glue, when everything is nailed and screwed together? - what if I do not have that nail gun? Is there an alternative solution to temporarily keep things together?
Another cool waterwheel build with some new ideas from HollywoodHaunter. Same simple design with some more detail and a wider hub section. The biscuit joiner also helps with long-term strength. Definitely another version worth watching: ruclips.net/video/gcZ69rOezp8/видео.html
Thank you for sharing this! Thanks to your videos I was able to construct a waterwheel of my own, and it was an amazing project!
Planning a small hydro power project for my farm. Thanks to you I know how to do it. Thank you very much for sharing it.
love how you made the buckets ... i.e. just slanted wood.. not typical buckets.. so much easier. fantastic!
All good man thanks for the video. You speak my language.Built mine with a skill saw and a screw gun works and looks great. Thanks
.
Looks awesome - I will use some of your ideas when I try a six or eight foot diameter wheel next.
good instructions
Thank you!!!!!!!!

Okay, i now have water wheel. How i make electricity out of its movement?
very good Ilike it
Very good

Has anyone figured this out?? We can’t figure it to come out close at all 😢
Very good video!! What would be the dimension's be for a 36 inch water wheel? I'm not sure what the spokes would measure.
Thank you for your help
I want to do the same. Did you ever find anything?
I need to weight parts of my wheel as you have mentioned but can't find flat weights. Where di you get them?
Mostly I used some large flat washers fastened to the inside with short lag screws
thanks for sharing bhill671

Duct tape
Glue holds much more secure than nails or screws
Would it be possible to use this same design, but for undershot?
hi can you please leave a list of things that i need to make this water wheel
I just finish the one I was building today at a smaller scale. 3' total cost about $85.00 from home depot.
How did you get your measurements for the 36 inch wheel?
does anyone know the measurements for a 36 inch water heel????
take off a quarter off of each measurement since you are reducing the diameter by exactly one fourth.....
I had 3 different people redo step by step will stuff came out 2 to 3 inchs short and had to cut stuff off.
what's the power output on this per gallon? or calculations? say i had 100 gpm how.many kw per hour

Possibly angle the places where the water hits differently
Simple To Design 8 side
90 is 90
Don't put your toenails in it that is gross
