Thanks everyone for watching, here are some additional points to compliment what was said in the video:
- The hydro turbine is planned to work along side other more intermittent renewable energy, such as wind or solar, to provide base load & reliable power!
- Some 'screening' would likely need to be done for debris or mammals, however this is much less intrusive, expensive, and inefficient than fish screening.

"Dams can cause negative impacts if they break". Bit of an understatement 😆

@tedfuchs9132

Being in S.W. Indiana local people have often wondered how come the river current has never been used. With this method would indeed be an excellent place to start. Multiple turbines at points along the river at different depths.

@tomkelly8827

This sounds really good! Hydro is the way to go if you can and microhydro gets too little attention. I am glad to hear that the propeller is fish safe too!

@rabhaw2327

Hydro power has been in use in Scotland for at least 50 years now, did no one know this. 99.9% of electricity in Scotland is by renewable energy and over 60% goes to England

@presterjohn71

These kinds of devices need to become standard for all towns and cities with free-flowing rivers running through them. It will take longer than people realise to get rid of fossil fuels but this kind of stuff is a no brainer

@brendandoyle7508

I heard about something like this years ago, im so glad its coming to fruition.

@human_isomer

Really interesting, please keep covering such topics.

@mm650

This has some really interesting possibilities for micro-pumped-hydro-energy storage.

Also great video, well presented.

4th generation Oklahoma oil & gas business here... River hydro-turbines. Now that's an idea I can get behind.

@josefcaceres1952

I just found this channel and Im loving every single video

@isrj1111

You deserve a lot more subscribers.

@vincentspallek

A topic to consider is that demand for electricity is not flat but typically is higher during daylight hours than at night. With a dam, the reservoir acts as storage and replaces the battery. Without a reservoir, the overall cost can be optimized by finding the right combination of solar, wind and hydro to reduce demand for expensive batteries. Search term "clean energy u-curve"

@thetentmedia665

Just found the channel so happy to have found some quality content

@DSAK55

Oh wow, a small dam! Who'd have thought?

@ticthak

This is the kind of turbine I've been waiting for since the 1970s, from a company that seems genuinely dedicated to distributed generation and serving small-community interests. Thanks, I've come to despair humanity will only work to greater and greater centralization with its consequent unavoidable defects.
Sure, we need to develop and deploy the gigawatt and terawatt fusion systems everyone is spending untold billions- for the global-scale projects we will undertake. For the small to mid-szed communities, and even down to us individually, there needs to be power solutions that AREN'T staggeringly expensive and huge-footprint burdens on the planet and society.

@ernesttravers7517

Fantastic videos
Very easy to follow because you are so knowledgeable
Will keep watching

@Anuxinamoon

Really like your content! Thanks for all the time you take making these vids!

I've just come across your channel and subscribed to it, of course. Keep doing good job. With love from Poland
