How many cubic feet (or gallons) / min flow did you have on that 8ft head height? I'd be interested to see how the whole thing could work.
Those were the questions. I'd looked at the cross section of the flow through the spillway and watched things float downstream, but I forget the result (>1hp?). I thought an actual measurement is called for.

The whole thing full of running water would weigh a ton. The supporting structure would need some thought.

Now the 25ft hex bar is reserved for a windmill. There is an unused utility pole about 20ft high next to my housing pod.

Anyhow freebeard, I'll still consider you a friend, even when you start feelin' the Bern.
As if. I was sympathetic toward Bernie in 2016, but am convinced that there are dark powers gathered behind him. Gabbard 2024.
