I decided it cant happen again and i need to do more to keep them safe so i went out and got fencing supplies and had my first go at putting up a fence. It was hard work getting the posts in deep enough as i kept hitting rocks but all in all it turned out quite well and will hopefully last a good few years.

Im going to look in to hatching some eggs and raising some meat bird to make all this work pay off.

In this video we tune the water jet hight so it is interacting with the spoon at the optimum point. It turns out that is makes a considerable differance and we added 13% efficiency at the top of the range so about 30% extra in the middle of the range witch is a considerable increase. I will be doing more testing with my friend john to work out exactly what the best hight for the jets is and will produce that info at some point.

In the next video we will reduce the sharp bends and see if we can squeeze out a few more watts. If we could get 500w from it at the same flow then it would be running very efficient. Im not 100% sure of the flow rate yet But i think its around 4.5 liters per second at the moment so about 60% efficient at the top end and over 70% in the middle So it is working very very well.

At 450W this turbine will produce 10.8 KWH of electricity a day. That is only 1 KWH below the Average household daily use in the UK Mean my turbine at full power would power an average house in this country.

Hi everyone , I'm Craig the "idiot" in the video who caught the Lobster and Crabs ( I still have my fingers BTW). We filmed this video and posted it on Kris's channel to gauge public reaction, before I launched my coastal foraging business.As you can see by the comments it has been a great success. My business is now fully established and successful. My website is WWW.COASTALFORAGING.CO.UK , where you can book courses, buy gift vouchers and find out more ! Thanks to the success of this video, I decided to launch my own Youtube channel " COASTAL FORAGING with CRAIG EVANS " , it has over 30 videos on foraging , rock/tide pool life , conservation and beach cooking. It has over 5.4 million views with 46,000 subscribers to date.Feel free to visit. Kind regards, Craig
