Wow. Two years already?! Time certainly does fly. The building still looks as fresh as the day it was built!

This guy is the Real Deal on the Homestead sites...not like some west coast wrangle dangle that just has no creative know how at all...This guy is the one that should have two million subscribers...just check his video history it speaks for itself...🖖

Nice change of pace from the barn build, can hear the renewed enthusiasm in your voice from the very start. Tis indeed a treat to get a weekly update.

Kris, I'm a viewer from Newfoundland, here in Canada. Gotta say, man, I think you're one of the most skilled craftsmen on UKposts. You're a top notch fabricator and a masterful builder! I came upon your channel with the turbine project and I've been hooked ever since. I absolutely loved the finish and function of the water wheel. What's more, the overall engineering quality you've put into the turbine project is astounding. You know what, though, I think I always watch your new content because you're one of the most genuine, decent, down-to-earth human beings on UKposts. All the best for a million subs in short order. Cheers from "across the pond."

I remain in awe of your brilliance!!!! I am an elderly lady in the USA 🇺🇸 and never miss one of your videos. If 1/4 of the population of young men had your common sense,ingenuity and work ethic,this world would be right again.

Great to see an update. good job and keep the videos comming. 👍

Thanks for the update. It weirdly reminded me that the wet winter you've been dealing with is really a double-edge sword for you. On one hand, it slows the barn construction. On the other hand, it's really a wonderful advertisment for your custom Hydroelectric systems. Hopefully this update and all of the hard work on the waterwheel have generated more customers for you!

Another good reference, i average 1800 kwh hours in my 1 bed flat yearly, so that turbine could easily run a couple 1 bed flats

I remember watching this project, time just flies

In two years, that has saved at least £2,100, @ 30p/kWh.

Love your videos and your Marvel and your craftsmanship. please keep making these videos I enjoy

Loved this project when it was done. From his own setup to this, big steps in improving the designs and the water wheel also showed more polish. Look forward to the next hydro project to see how high the bar is now. Kris always keeps evolving.

Hard to believe its already 2 years since you installed this system!. Would want a visit at your system too. Its been a while. Your hydro system has a special place in my heart because its the one that brought me to this channel many years ago. Your work also speaks for itself because after 2 years the system is in great shape.

Hello Kris, Great job with this project. I really like your work shop too. Keep up the good work!

That globe trotting conversion at the end was fantastic.

Chris you are a clever bugger but what I like most is you support your work and that’s a huge thing in my book. Love you work, your projects and the broad spectrum of your channel. Well done mate

Innovation excellence Great British ingenuity 🇬🇧

650+ Watts from that flow is really something, and the numbers show how consistently You reached that. Congrats.

At about the five minute mark, I heard a metallic note, and thought Kris was adding incidental music while cleaning. Then I realized it was just the resonance of the turbine cover!

Nice to see other projects revisited, also shows just how well designed they were in the first place. Relatively compact building and a huge amount of energy from what is a little more than a trickle. So many people could REALLY benefit from a system like that if installed as community projects.

Really helps when KWHs are converted into a language I can understand. Questions such as emersion heaters or electric panel heaters. I have to switch my heating off cos I can't afford to pay Scottish Power anymore. Wish I had a stream running through my flat.

If I was a multi millionaire I'd absolutely invest in a Series about his life and his skills. People would happy I watch this all week long. It's fantastic Content.

a good little invention which could easily be dialed up for bigger installations

Always fantastic see Kris doing his stuff as he’s so talented 👍🏻

Amazing and great explanation of the running off the turbine....😊

Thank you very much for your videos. I really enjoy your Hydropower builds, and the barn lately, the 1.5kw Turbine was actually my entrypoint to your videos. I really love your mindset of doing things right, and not just finishing a job, and the way you make renewables and sustainable building really tangible. Thank you again, for your chill documentation of these projects!

👍👌👏👏👏 Congratulations 🎉 for this big success!

Really enjoyed the build and thanks for the update Kris

Thanks for sharing your video Kris of the turbo system maintenance. It doesn't seem like that much time has elapsed since you built it. It shows your brilliance in creating the system and it continues to function as you built it to. Great work again. Love watching your work, Coen and Jay

we have just come across this lad .proper kid 👍 we love that welding bench and your workshop timbers Full respect from Gms Glasgow scotland ⚒

The going around the earth comment in the video was exactly what I was hoping for! Great update!

Kris you inspired me to try and fix my water pump issue! My biggest challenge was crawling under my house to check the water pump Air-Pump Pressure Switch. I tapped it with my screwdriver and it immediately started working again. It would have cost me a few hundred dollars to have a guy swap it out! I don't think I would have done that if I hadn't watched your videos!

You probably already know this but that surface rust is contamination from cleaning the welds during manufacture. You should always have separate stainless wire brushes to use solely with stainless. Once they’re used in ferrous metals they transfer the iron onto the stainless.

Great to see the system still working well! I think for the next one you should maybe use a blue 3 pin 16A 230V angled inlet with a 3 pin 16A 230V trailing socket on the end of the alternator cable, rather than the way you have this one. It means that the generated power is safe from fingers if it was to be unplugged whilst in operation. 🤔

Great to see the results after a decent operating period.

Love the craftsmanship of your work!

Think hydro electric nice for rainy places like Bay of Fundy area, Nova Scotia Canada. Such a cute shed, like it 🏞

I can't believe it's been two years since you installed this! It doesn't feel like it's even been a year.

How do I contact you I would like a hydro system fitted at my house please

Great vlog Kris. Two years! And still going well at producing. Super job, well done. Stay well.

Have found that a cordless blower cleans those types of screens very well in seconds ! Excellent lighting in your shop !

So pleased for you with a successful project. Justly deserved after all your research and personal effort.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I have always thought that this setup is the most elegant power generation systems I have seen. It is good to see that it has held up over time. 👍🇦🇺

Really like the simplicity of this setup. Exactly what one needs for a power supply that runs 24/7

Thanks for the update. You're such a clever bloke🙏

Dame its been 2 years since i watched you build this. Crazy

Great to see an update from this one Kris, looks good after a few years!

Good job Kris... Apparently not only are you a talented and successful farmer, builder and all round find fellow, you are an obviously very competent electrical/ mechanical engineer.

Not only excellent craftsmanship, but also very good after sales service.

Stumbled across your channel by chance. I love stuff like this and it fascinates me just like yourself at the end of the video! Can't wait to see more content like this! :D

Yes I did enjoy that update video and hopefully we will get further videos on past projects and where they are now.... Great work Kris.....

Excellent again Kris. The only thing I could pick fault with was the blue 240v plug/socket for the turbine, get a wall mounted inlet and a trailing socket for the turbine. This will prevent the possibility of exposed live parts should the turbine be started unplugged. Please don’t be offended by the above comment, your projects are superb. I am just paranoid in our safety culture nanny state. All the best Kris.

Thanks for the update Kris, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you build on that project!

Thanks for a great video! Nice having an update :^) And it was a really cool perspective on the kWH comparing it to an electric car.

Great update, Kris. This is how i discovered your channel. I find your hydro videos very interesting

Love the context given at the end of this video. Well done for finding ways to communicate to your audience that doesn’t easily translate all the numbers (like me!). Making your work relatable and contextual just adds to the ability for us all to understand how impressive it is 👏

1st…. Kris is so talented and has come a long way

Yay! Something good to look forward to laters x

Very glad to see the reliability of your excellent work

That little turbine could power my entire home multiple times over.

Magnificent work! Great results. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers.

Thx for the update on this awesome project. I watched it from start to finish in the original videos.

This is my fave project of yours. You did a great job on the shed groundworks.

It is reassuring for your customers with the support you provide.

I think that's pretty amazing to! Building this hydro system was the first thing I watched on your channel.

Love these videos, creativity inspires creativity in others.

So informative and rather entertaining at the same time. Accomplished by your no nonsense down to earth approach of communicating to your audience. A rare combination these days but it works. Don't change a thing! Well maybe one area would be nice and that would be to try and extend the time frame of your videos. We get caught up listening and learning then when we are thoroughly engrossed you bluntly say goodbye! But then again this could be your plan to keep us hungry and thirsty for more so that we will come back. As for me yes I do wish these videos were slightly longer. I enjoy every bit of content you share with us so much that I find myself each day eagerly looking to see if there is a new video uploaded. When there is I stop everything and watch it. Happy to see this one you look well and healthy. Where is that fierce roaring tiger? Not seen him lately. Great to have you back!!! Me southern AZ. (USA)

Delighted to get a video this week!

Perhaps on the intake grates, you could create a small .5-1" channel on one side that has small hydro powered fans that spin small brushes spanning the length of the grate, continuously cleaning the underside of the grate

Satisfying work. Good work.

Well I will never get bored of watching.

This has been a great project. For some reason I thought Kris was building a place in Missouri as well. Anyhow it does not matter much, He is always working on cool projects.

Small suggestion: supply the customer with an extra set of Coanda panels so they can wash the grime off one and have a spare while the others are installed. The trip to the intake will only require a swap without having to bring brushes, etc. to clean the panels.

Hi Kris another great video and explaining to us non Tec person I found it very interesting so it doesn't have to be all building 😊

Thanks for the perspective with electric car made it a lot easier for me. You'll have to plan the position of door opening to face away from Sun in future , as usual brilliant video.

It's amazing, Kris.... Whenever you post a hydro vid... .... EVERYONE wants to tell you how to build it better........

Nice video, been waiting for an update on all the systems you've installed. I hope someone commissions you for a new install soon, we need more hydroelectric content, please.

I was just thinking about this project! Looks like it's holding up really well. Looking forward to seeing the upgrade. If you make another one it might be useful to weld a small piece of flat steel across a pair of gussets to give you a handle.

Thanks for the update on this! Really cool setup. I'd love nothing more than a property with a stream & vertical drop to be able to churn out 500W+ continuously, that'd basically be energy dependence, especially when backed up by solar panels.

I started watching your stuff cuzz of hydro, i know so much more about homesteading now, now i just gotta get the experience

2 years thats 9 kWh per day, I'm using 6 kWh per day which is for me more than enough. #happyoffgrid in Sweden. thanks for uploading, nice clean setup.

Excellent work Kris and your design and build is certainly standing the test of time. Would it not be worthwhile for the owner to have a spare ‘cassette’ of coanda modules to enable him to do a hot swap - he could then put the ones that had been in service in the dishwasher while his wife is down on the shops?😉👍

6:40 the old trusty 'foot shovel' , what's best about the 'foot shovel' ?? wherever you go, you always have one with you. :) Awesome catch up video Kris.

Great job. Glad you made video

Brilliant Sir! What an inspiration for us all.

Really enjoyed the Turgo update!

Maybe try using a copper intake screen? Should be naturally algae resistant and rust proof.

I always get excited when he drops a new video lol.

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

Well done, Kris! 👍🏻

Thats brilliant still going strong

Kris you must have read my mind. I was wondering how the water turbo and the water wheel were going and happy with the update so far. I presume we will be visiting the wheel in the near future. Was also hoping these works really take off for you. You are definitely at your best and happiest when working in this area. Good luck. You really deserve it.

Great job mate! Congrats.

Muito lindo este projeto 😻 estava com saudades de ver sua micro hidro 😃

Another awesome one! Jeez 2 years gone by like that.

Bravo Kris ! 👍👍👍Bye from Italy🇨🇮

Excellent work 👏 very interesting

Yes, it is pretty cool. Love your work. 👍👍👍

I would fit a cage over the spinning wheel and also change the plug coming out of the motor to a trailing socket, as this will be live when spinning. Change wall socket to appliance inlet and mount higher up to avoid any water damage over time.

What are fantastic idea, well done Sir 👍🏻
