New Water Wheel Build part 3 Frame
I used metal to build the frame and I used car wheel bearings to allow the wheel to rotate. I decided to use a bicycle wheel as a pully mounted to the wheel rather than to an axle.

Here is where I start on the wheel. This time I am building it mostly from plastic. Maybe it will stand up to the weather a little better this time around.

Here is the start of the water wheel build. I am building this wheel to run my off-grid cabin. In this video, I modify a lawn mower transmission to work as a water wheel gearbox.

Pallet Wood Cabin Build part 2 Foundation and Floor
Переглядів 52 тис.5 років тому
Here we start the foundation and the floor. We used concrete blocks and rocks to level the foundation. We also put down an old tarp to work as a moisture barrier. We tied three pallets together and used that for the floor on one side.

solar heat result
Переглядів 7 тис.10 років тому
I finally dug out my old thermometer and tested the heat output of my solar heater. I had a 55 degree increase after it sat out there for about 20 minutes. Not outstanding results but if you had a south facing wall covered with these things it would heat up the room fairly fast.
solar heater experiment

This is my attempt at building a solar heater. It is not the best looking thing but it does produce a surprising amount of heat. total build cost was exactly $0.00 because I had all the parts for the rough construction..

    @datnotme9921 Місяць тому

    I dont understand how the inverter is connected to the batteries and where the incoming line from the altenator go into? I too live beside a creek. Two the one beside me feeds a larger one behind me. Amazon has a hose inline hydroelectric generator a 80volt, 5volt and 12volt. I'm trying to figure out all the other things like charge controller, batteries etc and how it all connects

    Just for fun: this type of system mounted on two styrofoam pontoons tied off each bank side, like a raft. It can ride up and down with the rise and fall of creek. Center paddle wheel. Same drive design (maybe two alternators to balance weight on each side) Build box cover for alternator(s) and its mountings.

    you did a good job, seeing what nature had to offer and used your noodle to figure out how to use it. i know this is 9 years later. hope you made a bridge for the creek so you can drive through it with out disrupting the water. there are some upgrade/redesigns you can/could do to get more power.
