Day 4

This day was the ultimate day. The day electricity was supplied to Orang asli village. Two major issues need to be settled. One was to increase the water flow rate and two was to repair the connection between the HDPE pipes and the turbine house.

The increase in the water flow rate partly can be achieved by modifying the weir so that more water goes into the weir. For the connection to the turbine we decided to forego the PVC bends where we connected the HDPE pipes straight to the turbine house.

Day 5 atmosphere.

HDPE pipes were connected straight to the turbine.
