He's generating low voltage 3 phase AC from a water powered turbine,
rectifying it to 24V DC and then using a inverter to generate 110V AC
(this is the USA). This is then wired to a standard USA plug which he
plugs into a wall socket - almost the equivalent of having an extension
lead with a main plug on each end

He doesn't know much about electricity but his mate wired it to "code".

He uses a shop vac to start his generator by introducing a vacuum in the
pipe which is then maintained allowing water to flow faster than it
would with just a simple syphon arrangement.


Its still just a simple syphon. Hes just using the vacuum to clear the
air-lock to get it flowing.
