Hey I'm jealous. Your's is pretty
No just kidding. Great video and great setup.
I am looking forward to setting up a new system.
It was a great learning experience. I will do things different the 2nd time around for sure. One of which will be making things neat and orderly.
Thanks Skip!

have you found a way to make it cost effective
has anyone ever used several car alternaters to recharge battery. thought about getting 5 or 6 alternaters hooked up together running of 20 hp gas motor to power electric car. Know of any place to purchase electric motor for a small car. Can't seem to find a good website. PS this plan is just a thought maybe a bad one but a thought.

I have to admit. Making your own electricity is not cheap. Large power companies have the economy of size on their side. There is no way you are going to do it cheaper than them.
But the trade off (as you inferred) is independence or the illusion of it anyway
Water power is no magic wand. As with everything, it sounds good on paper.

My dream is to live in the country off grid without relying on any utility companies. I am dissapointed in the watts that your setup is giving you. What about hydro electricity from a stream/creek/river? I live in Oregon where there are many country properties with some of these.

I'd love to find out who stole everything. It seems it's the way of the world lately. I guess all the druggies need to keep stoned to handle life or something.

Isn't that the most frustrating thing ?!?! You work your *** off and invest a lot of money to do some good and people just snatch it up. I caught a guy stealing my stuff and almost killed him

Come on! It's beautiful!

Someone stole everything. Well almost everything.
