Power Generator Made At Home With Spare Parts

He uses an 18 gauge wire and 40 wraps which should give him more voltage than his previous generator which lasted over a decade.  Also note Mark is really good about answering questions such as this one from the comments section:
Question: Hi Mark,  I love your videos on your generators!  This is great.  Can you tell me how the magnets are attached to the steel ring?  Epoxy?  It would be great to see a video on how you mold the stator.  Also, how much drop do you have from the bottom of your wood flume to the blades?  Thanks.  Mike.
Answer: Epoxy will work. I made a reusable mold, it is kind of like a cheese cake mold. I think the drop is around 2 feet. From top of water to top of water on the down side is 3 feet.
He also designed it so animals can easily swim out of it in his creek.  At about 9:20 in the video he shows it in action.  Apparently he is able to power at least two refrigerators and more with this thing.  Nice job that is awesome.
