Leroy Sommer direct current hydroelectric generator

In my humble opinion, given the first video, the buckets enter the lower basin a little early, which "brakes" the wheel. Wouldn't there be a way to lower the level a little (we can't see if there is a threshold downstream)?

I'm going to do it next time with a tachometer and current clamp.

It looks like a demonstration by Léon Raoul Hatem
We see that the generator starts at a certain speed of the drill.

Before considering purchasing an inverter, do the same test with the generator in real life and measure voltage and also current in the halogen lamp, to deduce the useful power.

You risk being surprised and I fear that the turbine will suffer as soon as the generator starts, if the speed is sufficient.

Indeed, it is even necessary to carry out the test with a drill and tachometer to determine the minimum speed of the generator allowing sufficient voltage to be generated in order to determine the necessary multiplication ratio.
Then, we have already talked about the power that will be generated and indeed there is a risk of unpleasant surprises.
