Hey guys, how’s it going? This is Leo for Acualized.org and in this video I thought I’d do something a little bit different because some of you have been asking me about nutrition. I’ve posted a few videos out there about proper nutrition and I’ve been criticizing a lot of you for eating junk food so I thought that I would show you something practical, something that I like to make and how I like to eat clean.

I’ve really worked on my diet a lot, over the last few years especially, just been cleaning it up through going and cleaning it up in phases basically, trying different diets, experimenting with different stuff, reading a lot of books on nutrition and fitness and just trying to be healthier because I actually want to value my health. Not saying that I value my health but practically valuing my health and what that means is what I’m going to show you guys here.

What It Means To Eat Something Healthy

I’m going to show you what it really means to eat something healthy. For many of you this is going to blow your minds. As simple as it is, it’s going to shock you what I’m going to show you. Honestly it took me about eight years because I used to be fat. I used to be sixty-five pounds heavier than I am now. I was that way for my whole life and it took me about eight years after I lost all of that weight.

Even though I lost the weight I was still eating a lot of junk food. I was eating garbage, just horrible stuff that has been causing me all sorts of problems and would have really destroyed my body down the road if I had continued that way. So progressively what I started doing is cleaning up my diet more and more and more and now I’m at that point where I’m eating really, really healthy and this is something that’s a part of my lifestyle.

This is something I love. Where before I had to really force myself to do it, now it’s really something that I’m passionate about and I continue to work on this. I’m still not 100% clean. Right now I’m actually going kind of through a vegetarian phase where I’m experimenting with vegetarianism, which is something I thought I would never try but given the research that shows that it’s so healthy for you I am on board. Let me show you how to actually create something healthy. Let’s see, what I’m going to do is basically create a salad.

I feel like I’m Emeril Lagasse here or Rachael Ray from the Food Network. I’ve got all this produce, all this stuff, they’re really very simple. The bottom line is that you need to be eating a lot of vegetables in your diet. Some people will lump fruits and vegetables together. No, that’s wrong. Fruits are okay, you can eat them in moderation, but you should not be relying on fruits, you should be relying on vegetables.

More Vegetables

The bulk of your diet should be green, leafy vegetables and other vegetables that have all sorts of different pigments and colors because the pigments and colors in the vegetables have all sorts of natural nutrients that you can’t get anywhere else. You can’t get them in synthetic form you can’t get them in a McDonald’s cheese burger. This is the stuff you really should be eating. This is what your ancestors were eating a hundred thousand years ago. They were not eating giant genetically modified fruits, they were not eating cheese burgers and they were not eating wheat, they were not eating bread, they were not eating pasta, they were not eating any of the nonsense garbage you guys are eating.

Here’s what we want, we want the maximum possible vegetables and we want them cooked as little as possible so ideally raw. Raw is what you want to be eating. That’s what your body burns the best, it burns the cleanest it makes you feel good, it makes you feel energetic and light. It doesn’t make you drowsy and it’s the healthiest. It produces the least toxins which ultimately are going to lead to all sorts of nasty diseases down the road.

Here what I’ve got is some wild arugula from Trader Joe’s. I’m going to pile that on, I like to pile on the greens. I’m also going to take some romaine lettuce, also from Trader Joe’s it’s organic. Everything that I’m using here is going to be organic. I’m going to pile that on in large quantities. Then what else do we have? I’ve just recently tried Chinese seasoning or sugar snap peas, also organic. They look like little green beans and you can just eat them raw. They’re really good. I’m going to pile those on and then what I’ve got here is some organic red bell peppers. These guys I sliced a few days ago and I just kept them in my fridge. I did some of the prep work here.

In reality this is going to take you longer to do than what I’m showing you here because I’ve already washed some of this stuff, I’ve already prepared it, I’ve sliced some of it so that’s prep work that you’re going to have to. I’ve got some radishes here, nice red radish. These guys I have to slice up. Basically, what you’ve got to start doing and what I’ve gotten on board to is eating more raw because even when you read a nutrition book and they tell you to eat more vegetables you tend to think, “Okay, more vegetables what does that mean? That means I’ll more potatoes and I’ll eat more sautéed vegetables, or stir fried vegetables, or even fried vegetables and you’ll count that as a vegetable. That’s not really a vegetable that is you kidding yourself.

A real vegetable is either raw or in almost raw form so maybe if you lightly steam it like steamed broccoli or you very lightly sauté something. Otherwise don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re eating vegetables and potatoes do not count as a vegetable neither does rice, neither does grain. I’m talking about vegetables that your Mom forced you to eat when you were a kid. That’s basically what’s the healthiest for you. All these vegetables I get organic. Who really knows if organic is better, I haven’t really found conclusive evidence of that, but if you care about your health, and you want to avoid potential problems down the road, why not? I think it’s a good expense to have. I mean organic vegetables will cost you about twice as much, a little bit less than twice as much than conventional, but when it comes to your health you don’t want to be cheap.

So we’ve got that. What else do I want? Tomato. Let’s slice this guy up. He’s also organic. What this is going to do is it’s going to create a salad. I’ve also got some pasture raised eggs that I’m going to throw on top of that that I’ve already cooked up on a skillet. So we’ve got tomatoes.

The Million Dollar Trick

Here’s a trick that I just recently discovered which is, I would say, is a million dollar trick and that is get a big plate if you’re eating lots of vegetables you need to eat a large quantity of them otherwise you’re going to be hungry just because there’s more volume and less calories. They are less calorie dense so this is not like eating a candy bar, a Snickers bar, which takes this much volume but has a thousand calories in it. This whole thing right here, this whole plate, look at this, this is a massive plate of food. This is something that they would serve to probably a family of four. This is vegetables so you can’t get fat off this if you eat this.

So you want large volume of vegetables. That means you have to buy more of them, really stock up on a lot of them. Don’t be afraid to pile them on. You’re going to need them otherwise you’re going to feel hungry. So this meal, I actually burn through pretty quick and I’ll start to feel hungry in a couple of hours just because they’re vegetables, that’s how it’s supposed to be.

The trick is get a large plate. Look at these, these are the plates I had that I used previously when I was not eating so many vegetables. Really this plate is too small. You can’t fit enough vegetables on this plate. So this is very practical but if you don’t have a large plate and you don’t get this idea then you’re going to be struggling and you’re not going to be getting enough and you’re going to feel hungry and basically hen you’re going to drop off you’re vegetarian diet or you’re going to drop off some healthy diet because you’re simply not having enough vegetables.

You need huge quantities, don’t be shy. This is basically what I’ve got here and what I’m going to do is I’m going to make a dressing for my salad and what I’ve got here is I’ve got organic extra virgin olive oil first cold press. This is the best that you can get. So by that I’m just going to pour that into my cup and with it I’m going to mix half a lemon. Just going to squeeze that in there.

What You Should BuyOrganic

Lemons are not important to buy organic because really organic you need to buy if you’re going to be eating the outer part of the vegetable or fruit. So any kind of fruit or vegetable that you end up peeling it’s not so important because the pesticides and whatever chemicals they use when they’re spraying them with non-organic vegetables that stuff is going to be discarded anyway if you’re not going to eat the peel.

For example, stuff like tomatoes you’re not going to peel so you want those to be organic and things like baby carrots, you’re not going to peel those and you’re not going to peel you’re leaves so your greens you want those organic for sure. So I’ve got that. This is lemon juice and olive oil.

The other thing I do is I buy this organic brown mustard which is made with apple cider vinegar and really the ingredients are whole organic mustard seeds, organic apple cider, vinegar water and sea salt so this is good and healthy stuff. I’m going to take a scoop of that and just mix it all in here and I just eyeball all of this I don’t measure anything. It takes too long to measure stuff. I eyeball to get enough dressing to cover as much salad as you want and just pour it on like that.

Then I am going to salt this guy. So salt. As far as salt goes, get rid of all your white table salt. That stuff is poison for you. It’s chemically processed and stripped of all nutrients. This what I have is pink Himalayan sea salt.

You can also get other varieties of natural salts like Celtic sea salt. First of all you find that they taste so much better and you can just see that this is natural. This is what you would imagine them picking out of the sea or filtering from the ground or however they obtain this stuff, but what’s nice about this is this kind of salt is actually good for you. It’s got nutrients in it, minerals in it that your white table salt doesn’t have.

Your Tastes Start To Change

This I use in large quantities. I’m not afraid to salt stuff. I’ll salt a large quantity because these vegetables otherwise they are pretty bland. There’s nothing too exciting going on here. One of the things you notice is once you start to wean yourself off of junk food and you start to wean yourself off even the more healthy food that is still more junky, like if you’re eating bread or if you’re eating any kind of grains really, once you start to wean yourself off that stuff you start to feel so much better and your tastes start to change and the stuff you thought you needed like you needed that barbeque sauce, that ranch dressing and that mayo… All those bold titillating flavors, you’re going to notice that they’re not that important and you don’t really miss them and you start to develop this higher value, high appreciation.

Eating food for you that’s actually healthy. Something that’s actually healthy like this. Like now if I gave you this salad even though it looks nice and everything, if I gave you this and told you, “Eat this for a week, make this every day and just eat for a week”, your mind and your body and your taste buds would just rebel against it because you’re so used to all the junk that you’re eating. You’re eating standard American diet. You’re eating all these sugars, all these lattes that you’re buying, all the milk products that you’re buying, the diary the wheat, I’m not even talking about the worst of the junk food.

Even the stuff you get at a decent restaurant is garbage, it’s just garbage. It’s destroying you from the inside, it’s causing cancer, it’s causing Alzheimer’s disease, it’s causing heart disease, it’s causing diabetes, of course it’s causing all your weight gain all your fat. If you’re fat the only reason that you’re fat is because you eat a very poor diet and you also don’t exercise ever. So that’s what’s killing you there and that’s going to have a horrible, horrible effect on your performance in life and what you can really achieve.

So if I gave this salad to you, my point was, is that you would eat it but you wouldn’t be satisfied with it. You’d want that bold, stimulating flavor that you would get right now from whatever it is you’re addicted to food wise. It takes some time to wean yourself off of it and eventually when you do wean yourself off you feel so much better and what you discover is that you start to actually a get a sense of appreciation for eating something healthy even though it doesn’t taste as good.

You Have To Train Yourself

This doesn’t taste as good as a Big Mac. It doesn’t taste as good as a steak smothered in barbecue sauce, or ribs with barbeque sauce or something like that, but it feels good. It feels good to eat it because you know that you’re burning clean. It’s like you’re putting clean fuel into your car but your car here is your body. Your body is your car. It also affects the performance of your mind. This stuff, you have to really train yourself to like this, but when you do you do actually like this. Now I enjoy this and I enjoy it on different levels. I enjoy it both on the level of taste, but also on the level of the higher values that I’m after.

Real Eggs

So the other thing that I’ve got that I’m going to put on here because there’s not much protein her is eggs. Most of you probably have not even had a real egg in your life and don’t know what a real egg is. What is a real egg? A real egg is this. It’s a pasture raised egg.

This is not simply organic, this is pasture raised. This means that the hen was let out to pasture and was let out to roam around in the sun on a prairie and actually eat bugs and grass and whatever it is that hens eat. They were able to eat that stuff, what they naturally eat and they were able to be outdoors and then they were able to lay these eggs and then you get these eggs. Pasture raised eggs. I get these guys at Whole Foods.

This carton costs about seven dollars. What is the standard carton of eggs cost? A standard carton of eggs costs about two dollars. You could probably even get them for a dollar fifty if you get larger than a dozen. Organic eggs cost about four fifty. This is almost twice as expensive as an organic egg. An organic egg is almost twice as expensive as a standard egg.

So this is about, I would say, seven times, maybe six seven times more expensive than a standard egg. You might wonder, “Well that’s expensive. I don’t have that kind of money to burn on stupid eggs”. What you don’t realize is you haven’t really read some of the shocking things about how eggs are produced and what they feed those hens.

What they feed traditional hens, those cheap white eggs that you buy at Wal-Mart or whatever, what they feed them is corn and soy beans and they basically disease them from the inside out because they feed them the lowest quality food that can possibly be fed in order to keep that hen literally barely breathing and laying eggs. Then that hen pops out that egg and that egg is cartoned and then you buy it at Wal-Mart. What happens is that then you’re eating that egg, but the nutritional value of that egg is significantly lower than the nutritional value of this egg.

You can actually see it. When you start cracking these eggs, I’ll actually should show you in another segment, when you actually start cracking these eggs you’ll see that they crack different. Their shell, it actually breaks apart differently than a tradition egg. Also the yolk, the yolk is a deep, rich orange. It’s not a yellow color, it’s not that pale yellow yolk.

These are real eggs and when you actually buy this-I encourage you to buy them even once even if you’re not going to be making a habit of it- buy it once and take a look at the consistency of the yolk and the white and the shell, and you’re going to see that there’s something to this idea that these are really different than what you’re used to.

Pasture raised eggs. They’re expensive but this is the stuff you should be eating if you’re going to be eating any kind of animal protein at all. It should be pasture raised, it should not be factory formed. I’ve already cooked up some eggs. I made three of them. Just put them in a pan and fried them up for five minutes.

I’m just going to toss these on top. I already salted them and that is it. So that’s my meal. This will last me for pretty much half the day.

Right now I’m not eating that much, I’m not working out at the gym that much, I’m not trying to put on too much muscle, I’m actually trying to lose that and that means that I can get away with eating less like this. If I was really working out a lot and I needed a lot of energy and I was burning through a lot calories I’d probably have to eat about three of these salads a day plus all the other stuff I eat. This isn’t all I eat. I’ll eat dark chocolate, I’ll eat wild Alaskan smoked salmon.

What else do I eat? I’ll eat these desserts that I make from frozen berries, organic frozen berries which are really awesome. Before I went on this vegetarian phase I really liked to eat grass-fed organic steak which you can get a Whole Foods and other places like the higher quality markets. So basically this is what I eat.

Now you’ve got to ask yourself, how close is your diet to this? Are you eating this or what are you eating? How much of your diet is fried? How much of it is just totally overcooked? How much of it is seared and grilled and charred?

What Are You Eating?

How much of it is totally stewed and sautéed so all the nutrients are gone? How much of it is coming from high quality ingredients versus low quality ingredients? What percentage of your diet is vegetable and what percentage of it fruit? And I mean real vegetables not potatoes and other junk vegetables. I mean real leafy either green or red or orange vegetables? How much is your diet like that versus the standard American diet?

I’m willing to bet that what you’re eating right now is a hundred times worse than what I’m showing you guys and the reason that is, is because I know how hard it is to make this switch. It takes discipline. It also takes a higher awareness and understanding of what the hell is going on. You have to read nutrition books to really make a case for yourself to convince yourself why you should be eating this way versus not. To eat like this even though this was a simple set up that I had here and I made this meal in about ten minutes, this is not something you’re going to do, this is not something that comes naturally, easily in our culture.

In our culture what comes naturally and easily are the doughnuts and bagels at work. It’s the McDonald’s breakfast sandwich that you get on your way to work when you’re rushed. It’s the McDonald’s that you get for your kids when you got to take them to soccer practice and you don’t have much time.

It’s the expensive restaurant that you go out to and that expensive steak that you buy with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you go out and do that a couple of times a week, a couple of times a month. What do you think? You think that expensive steak, you think that is an organic steak? Do you think that is a pasture raised steak, grass-fed steak? No that’s the cheapest possible steak that they could buy so that that restaurant should have the highest profit margin.

So even if you’re going to a really expensive steak house that’s charging you forty dollars for a New York strip, that New York that they’re serving you, that’s the lowest possible cut, the lowest possible quality of meat that they could have found and sold you because they’re trying to keep their margins up. So even though you’re paying a lot for it, maybe it comes with fancy side dishes and a fancy service and a fancy decor and a fancy tablecloth, what you’re actually feeding your body is still garbage.

Make A Case In Your Mind So The Transition Is Easier

Like I was saying, this is a tough transition to make and to start to make this transition you have to build a case in your mind for why it’s important. You have to start to notice the effects that all the junk food that you’re eating is having on your performance at work, on your performance with your family, on your performance in bed, on your mood, and ultimately on your health. The reason that I’m bought into this is because I want to live a long life and I want to live a healthy life.

I don’t want cancer. I don’t want Alzheimer’s disease. I don’t want to be fat, I was that way and it’s horrible. It’s disgusting, it’s pathetic, it’s hurts your self-esteem, it hurts your ability to be in a successful relationship, whether or not you believe that it actually does, as shallow as that may sound. All these are factors.

For me probably the most important factor is that I really value the purpose in life and I value the work that I do. I really want to have an impact on people. To do that and that means, (a) I need to live long enough to do that and I want to live as long as I can because in my later years when I’m going to be sixty and seventy and eighty hopefully I get to that point, that’s when some of my best work can happen because my work is intellectual. By that point I can just imagine how much knowledge I’ve built up, how much wisdom I have and how well I can communicate that to the people.

That’s when I’m really going to be in my prime, it’s when I’m older not right now. Right now I’m just starting off. So to be at that older age and to be able to have the kind of impact that I want, I know that I need to be healthy because if I’m going to be sixty years old let’s say, and I’m going to have back problems and I’m going to have cancer problems and I’m going to have various diseases and I’ll be overweight, I’m not going to have energy. I’m going to be impotent.

Not Just For The Future

If I have all those problems then how am I going to be able to communicate? How am I going to be able to go out there with energy and give a speech? How am I going to be able to write something powerful? How am I going to be able to coach people? How am I going to be able to do whatever it is I’m doing at that point? I’ll probably have many things that I can’t even imagine on my plate then that I don’t have right now, so how am I going to have the energy and the health to do that?

This is it right here. This is not just for the future. This is giving me health right now. This is giving me energy right now. If I was to replace this right now with a cheeseburger and fries and a milkshake and that’s what I was going to eat, I’d literally feel so bad that I wouldn’t be able to continue to work after shooting this video.

I’d have to go sit down and take a breather for a couple of hours just to recuperate. I remember how that was, feeling lethargic and sleepy and just absolutely god awful. So this is serving me right now because I’m going to eat it and I’m going to feel light and empty and I’m going to be able to go and do whatever I wasn’t to do. I just came back from the gym so I’m already feeling pumped and I wanted to shoot this video with you guys because I knew you guys were asking about nutrition and I wanted to show you what it really looks like to eat healthy.

So if you’re taking one thing away from this, it’s eat more green vegetables, start cleaning up your diet because it’s really important to the performance and the quality of life that you’re going to have. If you want to have an extraordinary kind of life, the kind of life that I want for you guys, if you want to really become self-actualized, the mission of Actualized.org, then you have to start looking after your nutrition. It’s all connected together. Don’t start to separate different parts of your lives, you have to see how everything is intertwined.

neha says:

Thanks Leo. I am also trying to make the transition but it’s really difficult. But I believe I can do it

Leo Gura says:

It gets much easier after you build up the right habits. Literally anyone can do it.

Vitali says:

For me the problem is money. No way in hell I can afford to eat and live healthy. I just left college and have currently no job, and so no income. I want to eat all those needed, healthy supplements and also change my diet, but all those ingredients for salads and smoothies and green juices are so damn pricy, while I can barely even afford crap junk food.
I feel fucked, I feel like when I’m finally rich enough to afford all those healthy foods permanently(like not only once a month, but every day), it will be too late. My body already will be wasted.

Not wanting to play the victim card here or not taking 100% responsibility, but just saying that it is not easy to live healthy. Not only if you are poor, but also if you have a small income. It really sucks.

Leo Gura says:

Then that should make you extra-motivated to go earn some money.

Dude, if you can’t afford to eat salads, there’s something seriously wrong with the way you’re living life. Get that shit handled. Your standards are too low.

Vitali says:

Thanks for the reply Leo!

Yeah, my life is completely fucked up. There is so much wrong with it, I can’t even explain it all. That’s why I listen to all of your video mp3s over and over again and I’m also watching all of your videos.

I already made some radical changes to my life and improved on so many levels thanks to you, but it’s not enough. I’m still at the bottom. I’m not even 1% there where I wanna be.

Mike Lennon says:

Pasteurised refers to Louis Pasteur, – not hens running out in pastures ! ;

Gaby says:

Hi Leo! this is great. Can you show us how to make a healthy breakfast? and also do you know anything about protein shakes, if they are really good for you or is it just advertising, my gym (lifetime) sells them and I’ve been taking the whey protein shake for a couple of months but I’m not totally convinced of their benefits

Kerri says:

Hi, Leo! I love this video. Right now I’m working on cleaning up my diet. I’ve found that replacement helps. For example, one week, I’ll have roasted veggies with olive oil and get used to that. Then the next week, I’ll reduce the amount of oil and get used to that. Then the next week, I will cook them less and get used to that. etc etc, until I’m eating like you do. I think it takes a while to develop a good diet but I’m working on it! I used to HATE veggies but I’m really starting to like them now. Thanks so much for the encouragement! I LOVE your videos! You have changed my life!

Leo Gura says:

Yes, it definitely takes time to clean up your diet and it’s smart to start slow. It took me many years and sometimes I still backslide.

Teresa Macke says:

I LOVE this. Veggies are life-affirming, cancer-defeating miracles. Have you read The End Of Dieting by Dr. Fuhrman? Awesome book. Attended one of his Immersions in Seattle and it was awesome. I really appreciate your work and free vids. Thank you so much. You’re so great.

Leo Gura says:

No, I have not. Thanks!

PG says:

Dr. Fuhrman is an excellent resource in your search for the truth about healthy eating. I would also recommend Dr. Greger who has written a nice book and has a great website full of videos on just about any food-related topic that you can imagine. All of the above are based on clinical research, some of which has been known to us for decades!

I would recommend re-evaluating your thoughts on salt and oil intake. There really is no healthy salt. The body gets all the sodium it needs from food. Adding salt definitely is not necessary and actually is unhealthy for the body. Oil is empty concentrated calories. If you want more calories and/or a richer taste, consider adding fatty whole plant-based foods like avocados, nuts and seeds. These are filling and extremely healthy foods. Finally, consider adding beans to your diet. Beans are full of many nutrients with excellent health benefits and are very cheap to buy.

Great work introducing your followers to healthy eating!

Vijaya says:

Hey Leo,
For your meal to be a balanced meal, you need proteins and some minerals like calcium too right ? Since you avoid dairy products , how does your meal account for calcium ? Are peas and eggs the only source of protein ?

Leo Gura says:

You don’t need to worry about calcium, unless you have a specific medical condition. You will get the necessary amounts from regular non-dairy food.

juan says:

Hi Leo , would you believe me if i tell you that i started today eating almost exactly what you explaine in the video , and i feel so much better this is unbelieveble . Now do you have any video about how to work out properly . Thanks a lot Leo and God bless you for sharing your knowlege with us and giving us some direccion.

Margit says:

I started exactly the same thing , I am so grateful to you Leo, for these videos. Would apprechiate your advice for breakfast and work out at the gym.

dave says:

I agree Leo that is what is wrong with the American Diet, all for profits and convenience. I heard that the country will be bankrupt caring for the sick of the baby boomers and it is all self inflicted.
I have worked hard at losing right around 35 pounds last year and am continuing my journey of another 25 with basically proper nutrition being the key. Thanks for sharing this and all your videos, you are making this world a better place!

Mona says:

You share valuable information with me, so I want to share this with you:

Loonie Herman – Hope for your heart desease
Understanding the “10 bad Foods” with Dr. Peter Glidden
Ajahn Brahm – Peace is the highest happiness

Hope you’ll find it useful.
When the time allows you, would you, please, make a video about OCD (compulsive cleaning)? Thank you for being.

Anna says:

Leo, I highly recommend to visit zdorovieinfo.ru. Incredible health and nutrition info. Also Natural society is great.

I also pay attention to the food combination.

Best Anna

Paul says:

Thanks for this awesome video.

I’m just wondering how to do when you are an athlete and/or want to build muscles? What would be the healthiest source of carbs? What would be another way to get enough proteins ? I heard too many eggs wasn’t great for the health.

I’ll definitely check a nutrition book. Thank Leo!

Julia says:

This was a great video. Not convinced about the egg thing though, three eggs seems like a lot. Forks over knives has great info about plant based proteins. Keep the great information and videos coming!

Natasha says:

I put souerkraut in my large salads to give it a kick and for probiotics. Your local health-food stores should carry Bubbie’s souerkraut that contains no chemicals/ additives or any kind of artificial preservatives (it’s easy to pickle your own cabbage too). Also, check out Bragg’s Sprinkle – a 20 plus organic herbs mix. It’s like Italian mix, but with more herbs and spices and it tastes and smells great. I also throw almonds and sunflower seeds in my big salad meals for more protein and minerals c

fernando says:

Hello Leo.
have you got a yard or garden? You should try to get three hens. Three is the golden number. They are CHEAP, not noisy and eat grass , worms, bugs and any food remains. They only need a simple shelter where they can lay eggs on.
They won’t go around, they like home and they go back to the shelter at night. I’m telling you this crap since I got some hens and is very very easy to maintain them and they lay eggs like mad. Of course you can find tutorials on internet. The race is important. They need minerals too, but it’s veeeeery easy to do. I almost do nothing but get the eggs and throw them some worn food.

Dan says:

I have been eating enormous salads with eggs(Not pasturized, I am eating in a college dining hall so I do not really have access) the past few days as you recommend, but I started to worry about eating too many eggs. Is there a limit to how many eggs are safe to eat?

fernando says:

Hi Dan.

there is no limit about how many eggs you can eat. Notwithstanding, they recommend to eat 3 per week if they are fried,since the protein is different than if boiled and your liver tolerates it worse. If they are boiled, there’s no limit. That’s the theory but who knows. I recommend you never abuse on proteins, whatever the origin is, eggs, meat or whatever. Yes, you need proteins, but in a balance.

Dan says:

I was not too worried about being able to digest the protein I was more worried about consuming too much cholesterol, because one egg has about 62% of the daily recommended amount of cholesterol to consume.

Joseph says:

Okay diet. Could be improved though.

Kim says:

Great stuff! Please make another video on this topic. I have recently changed diet, intuitively and amazing my plate look almost like yours. Kim

ehtisham says:

Hi, this is Ehtisham. I used to play football and was a little bulky but after getting married and left all activities now I have just calculated that I am 56 pounds over weight.
I have heard this guy for the first time but I have started believing that he is true. I am on it.

Daniel says:

Hi Leo, Man i love your videos, they have helped me alot.

But i have to ask, why are fruits worse than vegetables? i have been cleaning my diet up alot lately and i eat lots of fruits, the main things in my diet are bananas, apples and oat flakes (not cooked only stired in warm water)
and i feel great, i have cut out dairy, meat, bread and junkfood.
but i am not eating as much vegetables because, you know, they do not taste as good and are expensive because of the quantity and variety i would have to eat.
And because of that i would like to ask you if it is ok or not or should i realy eat more vegetables than fruits and why?

George Lawson says:

What about grain and oats? I’ve been taught that it’s really healthy to have porridge every morning.

Tim says:

Have you read the starch solution?

Debbie says:

I watched your video but I had a minor heart attack and I have high blood pressure. What alternative can I use to substitute for salt?

Valeria says:

Great video as always! I love vegetables, my problem is emotional eating, after being verbally abused by my father I have developed this bad coping mechanis….I am working at resolving this issue….I need to get rid in my mind of this shield of fat I have on me…i need to convince myself that I am safe if I became thin. thank you anyway I am watching all your videos.

Nora says:

Dear Leo,

You really are an amazing inspiring person, I am literally falling in love with you, no worries, in a good way. Your sense of humor and placing the facts in between the lines is admirable.
Thank you and All the best to you.
Keep us inspired, xx

Harrison Davignon says:

The diet sounds very expensive and hard to pay for it. Minus the mustard seed, that salad looks good. What about a person who is on the go all the time. Eating that much at once can cause acid reflux, Thanks for your video, this will help with my Mountain climbing I want to start doing and I found a Mountain climbing group that climbs to raise money for cancer research!

Harrison says:

There is a secret healthy snack Leo and other people. Trader Joes, has dark chocolate covered almonds. The heath benefits of almonds and chocolate

Kingsley says:

Hi Leo!
I’ve recently stumbled upon your website/youtube channel and so far love your content. However, I am curious to see what you think about my nutrition issue.
I’m a recovering anorexic/orthorexic, and it was my intense fear of the food in a standard american diet that caused my latest relapse.
If I had it my way, I would be eating a raw vegan diet, but restriction in any way, even if it’s beneficial, tends to trigger the obsessive thought patterns, fears, and anxieties that are a part of my eating disorder.
How do I go about maintaining nutrition while also maintaining my sanity?

Brendyn Harris says:

what are a couple things you can share for a healthy diet to gain about 20 pounds to go along with my consistence work out routine.

Paula says:

Hi Leo,

Is it wrong to eat up that bowl of salad with a slice of good quality bread?
A get a very chatty stomach after eating greens and I noticed bread helps.
Thanks

Simon says:

I am doing the same thing, but recently i eat one apple or banana after meal if i think it was lacking energy.

Also you should keep in mind, healthy fats take a lot more time to convert to energy then for instance carbonhydrates like bread.

One more thing, when i transitioned really fast from really bad diet to really healthy one, i had digestional problems and my body was not absorbing nutrients as it should, so make transitions very slow and gradual. Especially go slow with adding more fiber and fat to you diet.

But then again maybe you are different, you should listen to your body, be very aware what is happening to you not just what other people say its healthy.

Remember what works for one person doesnt always work for another!!!

Lisa says:

Leo, Your diet/food preparation videos are the most awesome I have found! I love that this methodology not only promotes good health, but saves a lot of time and energy that can then be redirected to those very important self development studies and efforts. Thank you for making all of your videos! I would like to add that the type of cookware used is important. Pots and pans made from metals like aluminum, and non-stick teflon release toxins into the food during cooking. The best cookware I found is a non-toxic, ceramic type like that made by Ceramcor. Dr. Mercola also discusses this topic on his website. I also suggest using wooden cooking utensils.

Simon says:

I see a lot of you asking what to eat for breakfast and i was asking myself the same thing along my journey toward healthier eating but something clicked in me while flying trough the comments…why would breakfast be any different from any other meal??? We are so conditioned to eat ceral and milk HEALTHY SCAM breakfast, that we automatically think we should eat something different in the morning.

Obviously we should rotate our food and eat seasonal food to not get alergies or sensetivities to certain foods but thats basically it…we are complicating our eating habits with overthinking, just eat clean seasonal raw foods and thats basically it.

If you think organic is expensive…you pay for junk food with your money plus your health, so organic becomes less expensive over the long run.

I used to go to l. a. school in S. England in 20??

Genius man says:

HOW TO CONVERT AN OLD WASHING MACHINE INTO A WATER POWERED
GENERATOR

Always best to listen to the instructions loudly patiently and clearly as possible

for you to hear again and again for as long as you need to remember by heart!

More detail and cover the Entire process including how to rewire the stator

AND MAKE A CUSTOM CHARGE CONTROL 1

there are many ways to power this HOMEMADE GENERATOR if you listen properly

YOU CAN MOUNT IT ON A WINDMILL BICYCLE,BIOGAS MOTOR

ANYTHING THAT WILL SPIN THE SHAFT FAST ENOUGH!

I HAVE A GOOD SUPPLY OF FREE WATER on my property so I’M GOING TO

ATTACH A PELTON WHEEL TO THE SHAFT

DIVERT SOME OF THE WATER THROUGH A PIPE

AND THE DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT BETWEEN

THE WATER INTAKE AND THE PELTON WHEEL will create enough water pressure

to spin the shaft generating enough electricity TO POWER MY HOUSE!

THE MACHINE! 2 THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A

FISHER an PayKel Smart drive

It DOESN’T MATTER ABOUT THE SIZE OR MODEL NUMBER THEY’RE ALL PRETTY

SIMILAR UNDERNEATH!

TIP IT(meaning Fisher and PayKel smart drive) OVER

and have a LOOK UNDERNEATH!

YOU SHOULD SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS

AS LONG AS THE ROTOR TURNS FREELY

AND THERE’S NO SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT and the bearings

that should be okay TO USE!

3 STRIPPING IT DOWN CHAPTER 3. strip Fisher and paykel smart drive down

Genius man says:

PRETTY EASY TO PULL APART JUST A COUPLE OF SCREWS

1.HOLD ON THE TOP ON

2.TAKE THOSE UP

3.FLIP IT BACK AND YOU’LL SEE A COUPLE OF WIRES THERE AT THE BACK

4 JUST SNIP THOSE (WIRES )

5.UNHOOK EVERYTHING CONNECTED TO THE MIDDLE HOUSING

6.And JUST PULL THE TUB OUT OF THERE!

7.ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KEEP US IS

THE TUB

THE STAT

THE ROTOR SHAFT

AND BEARINGS

EVERYTHING ELSE CAN GO!

8.If you’re BUILDING A WINDMILL OR ATTACHING IT TO A MOTOR

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CUT THE BEARING ASSEMBLY OUT of there

BUT SINCE

I’M USING IT FOR WATER

8 I’LL LEAVE IT AS IT IS!

The motor will produce Electricity with the factory wiring but it is capable of

making 400 bolts AC WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO WORK WITH

AND NOT VERY USEFUL FOR MOST SIT UPS

Some people do use it like this BUT I DON’T RECOMMEND THEM!

9.PULL THE ROTOR OFF THE BACK

AND HAVE A LOOK FOR ANY CHIPS OR CRACKS!

AND THE MAGNETS if they’re STARTING TO BREAK UP

10.YOU MIGHT NEED TO

LOOK FOR A NEW MOTOR

10.CHECK THE STATE OF WIRING

FOR ANY SIGNS OF CORROSION

OR BROKEN WIRES

AND IF YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER

11.TEST THE WINDERS FOR CONTINUITY

these small cracks and the plastic are nothing to worry about!Most of them

Have these!

12.NOW YOU’RE READY TO REWIRE THE STAT

I MADE A DETAILED VIDEO SHOWING HOW TO DO THIS search my channel SEE!

CHAPTER : THE BUILD

Genius man says:

1 Using AN OLD INNER TUBE CUT OUT

A CIRCLE AROUND SIX INCHES IN DIAMETER. CUT A HOLE IN THE CENTER

AND SLIP IT ON THE SHAFT

2. KEEP IT ABOUT A CENTI METER AWAY FROM THE REAR OF THE TUB!

3.NOW I’LL ATTACH THE PELT WHEEL

TO THE SHAFT

You can get PELT wheels on eBay for under 100 dollars this one’s been

adapted to slide straight on the spline

but You can just bolt them on using the thread on the shaft

4.THE WATER JET NEEDS TO HIT THE cent OF THE PELT CUPS

5.SO USING A RULER

MARK OUT THE HOLE WHERE THE NOZZLE WILL BE CUT

6 USE A HOLE SAW TO CUT OUT WHERE YOU MADE THE MARK

7 NOW CUT A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TUB

TO LET THE WATER OUT AFTER IT’S BEEN THROUGH THE TURBINE

7 NOW I’M MAKING THE SHOOT OUT OF A

OLD HEAVY DUTY PIECE OF PLASTIC

AND SOME SCREWS

THIS WILL GUIDE THE WATER BACK INTO THE STREAM

8 USING SOME HALF INCH PLYWOOD MARK

AND CUT OUT A COVER

for the FRONT OF THE TUB THIS WILL

ADD STRENGTH and STOP WATER SPLASHING OUT!

A PIECE OF PERSPEX OVER THE FRONT

ACTS AS A SERVICE HATCH AND LETS YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE

9 CUT THE HOLE BIG ENOUGH

TO PULL THE PELT WHEEL OUT FOR SERVICING

SO WE’RE CONSUMING AROUND THE EDGES KEEPS IT ALL WATER TIGHT!

THAT SHOULD BE A NICE TIGHT FIT

10.PUSH IT IN AROUND 1 INCH FROM THE EDGE AND SCREW IT IN PLACE

11.CUT OUT A PIECE OF FUN FOR THE SEAL AROUND THE SERVICE HATCH

12.GLUE IT IN PLACE WITH SOME SILICON SEALANT

before the silicone sets I’m going to

13.DRILL 4 HOLES AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PERSPEX

14.AND CLAMP IT DOWN WITH FOUR STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS

15.USING WIDE WASHERS TO OVERLAP THE EDGE OF THE PERSPEX

16.NOW I’M MAKING A COVER TO STOP RAIN GETTING INTO THE ELECTRICS!

the plastic breaks down quickly in sunlight so

17.A QUICK COAT OF PAINT WILL PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN

18. THE REWIRED STAT ROTOR

AND RECTIFIER (hear video at your loudest volume slowest voice check!

CAN NOW BE BOLTED IN PLACE

THE RECTIFIER CONVERTS THE 3 PHASE AC OUTPUT OF THE GENERATOR INTO

DC CURRENT SUITABLE FOR CHARGING A BATTERY BANK

FOLLOW THE LINK HERE TO

SEE HOW TO MAKE ONE

19.PLUG THE AC LEADS OF THE RECTIFIER AND THE SPADE TERMINALS

ON THE Stator AND ATTACH THE ROTOR

NOW THE HOLES WITH A PUMP USED TO BE NEED TO BE FILLED

20. SO I’LL JUST JAM A COUPLE OF PLASTIC BAGS IN THERE

AND IT’S DONE ALREADY TO START MAKING FREE POWER

CHAPTER : INSTALLATION

Genius man says:

1.This is THE GENERATOR I’M REPLACING!

AS YOU CAN SEE IT’S seen better days I didn’t check the bearings for about

4 months they WORE OUT OVERHEATED AND THE WHOLE HUB JUST MELTED OUT

2.I’LL REUSE THE BASE I MADE ON MY LAST VIDEO HAVE A LOOK THERE TO SEE

HOW IT’S MADE

IT’S BASICALLY JUST A CRADLE TO FIT THE CONTOUR OF THE TUB

THE WATER PRESSURE IS ABOUT

45 PSI

At the moment had SMOKING ABOUT

21 AMPS

AT 29 VOLTS

WHICH IS JUST OVER 600 WATTS

3.IF I PUT A BIGGER WATER JET ON IT IT’LL MAKE UP TO

900 WATTS

but I don’t really need that much power this time of year

THE POWER FROM THE GENERATOR

RUNS INTO A BATTERY BANK

THROUGH A FUSE AND

INTO AN INVERTER

WHERE IT IS BOOSTED FROM

LOW VOLTAGE DC

INTO STANDARD HOUSEHOLD VOLTAGE!

THE BATTERY BANK STORES THE POWER SO IF I NEED TO RUN AN APPLIANCE

MORE THAN THE

600 WATTS

FROM THE GENERATOR

THE BATTERY BANK MAKES UP THE DEFICIT

SO I CAN RUN

KETTLE

TOASTER

MICROWAVE

AND OTHER HIGH LOAD APPLIANCES

CHAPTER : THE CHARGE CONTROLLER

THE CHARGE CONTROLLER SENSES WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE FULLY CHARGED

AND DUMPS ANY EXCESS POWER!

You can buy these CUSTOM MADE FOR OFF GRID SET UPS BUT THEY ARE COSTLY

and HAVE THEIR LIMITATIONS

1.I PREFER TO USE A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER

THEY ARE MUCH CHEAPER AND MORE FLEXIBLE

2.I USE THIS ONE TO DUMP THE EXCESS POWER

INTO THE HOT WATER CYLINDER

AND WHEN THAT IS UP TO TEMP

THAT SWITCHES RELAYS

AND THE POWER IS DUMPED INTO A SMALL HEATER

IT ALSO SOUNDS AN ALARM

WHEN THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS

LOW

OR

HIGH

AND DUMPS STRAIGHT FROM THE BATTERY

OF THE INVERTER FAILED

I MADE A SHORT VIDEO SHOWING THE BASICS F PROGRAMMING THIS ONE SO

CLICK ON THE LINK HERE TO SEE IT!

Angry Ram preface

I’VE BEEN LIVING OFF THE GRID FOR A FEW YEARS NOW

USING A CONVERTED WATER POWERED

FISHER AND Pay

washing machine motor to

GENERATE MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER

TO RUN ALL THE APPLIANCES AND HOT WATER I USE IN my house as well as

POWERING ALL THE TOOLS I USE IN MY WORKSHOP

in that time

I SAVED MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

FOR NOT HAVING TO PAY POWER BILLS!

In this detailed video I’ll show you

Angry Ram says:

I’m told that

WHIRPOOL CABRIO

AND

MAGTAG BRAVOS

USE THE

SAME TYPE OF

STATOR MOTOR. STAT ONLY MEANS STATOR

AS

FISHER AND PAYKEL WASHING

MACHINE

for those who can’t find

Fisher and paykel

stator motor

washing machine

Angry Ram says:

YOU CAN USE

AN OLD RECYCLED

FISHER AND PAYKEL SMART DRIVE WASHING MACHINE MOTOR

TO GENERATE

FREE ELECTRICITY

USING A

WIND TURBINE,WATER WHEEL OR BIOGAS POWERED ENGINE.

FIRST

YOU NEED TO

REWIRE THE STATOR

LISTEN TO HOW TO REWIRE an old washing machine motor to generate

FREE POWER!

detailed step by step guide showing the

ENTIRE PROCESS OF REWIRING THE KELVINATOR F&B (KELVINATOR)

SMART DRIVE WASHING MACHINE MOTOR STATOR

TO PRODUCE

FREE ELECTRICITY

FOR

OFF THE GRID LIVING.

SUITABLE FOR MOST

12-30

VOLT APPLICATIONS.

ONCE REWIRED

ALL YOU NEED IS

A WAY TO SPIN THE MOTOR TO PRODUCE ENOUGH POWER TO RUN THE

AVERAGE ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME

OR

SUPPLEMENT A SOLAR POWERED HOME.

ATTACH IT TO A WINDMILL,

HYDRO TURBINE

WATER WHEEL

BIOGAS ENGINE

OR EVEN A BICYCLE!

The power from a motor will charge a battery bank connected to a

120v or 240v dc-ac inverter

TO RUN ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES , LIGHTS, HEATING ETC!

Angry Ram says:

FOLLOW THIS LINK TO SEE

HOW TO MAKE A WATER POWERED GENERATOR

USING THIS MOTOR

THIS HAS BEEN POWERING MY HOUSE

FOR OVER 2 YEARS!

AND IS STILL RUNNING AS STRONG

AS THE DAY

I BUILT IT

created using YOUTUBE video editor

SOURCE VIDEOS. VIEW ATTRIBUTIONS. 9 August 2013

Angry Ram says:

1 VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS STARTING HERE

I’LL BE USING A

WATER POWERED PELTON WHEEL TO

SPIN THE REWIRED MOTOR

WHICH WILL CHARGE A

24v

BATTERY BANK

THE POWER CAN THEN BE BOOSTED TO

120v

OR

240vac

USING AN INVERTER

TO RUN STANDARD HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES!

2

FACTORY WIRED STATOR

Get one factory wired stator this size (42Pole 1X14C Factory Wired)

REWIRED. (42Pole 7X2C )

Angry Ram says:

step 1 CUT THE WIRES MID WAY BETWEEN EVERY GROUP OF 6 POLES.

SOUNDS COMPLICATED

BUT REALLY SIMPLE,

KEEP WATCHING AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE TO YOU!

step 2

PULL THE ENDS OUT AS YOU CUT THEM

WORK YOUR WAY AROUND

UNTIL YOU REACH THE BRIDGE CONNECTOR.

IT SHOULD NOW LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

Step 3

USING SANDPAPER,

CLEAN THE ENAMEL OFF ALL CUT LEAD ENDS

FOR APPROX

1cm

from ends.

FIDDLY WORK,BUT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENSURE THE SOLDER STICKS.

Step 4

WHEN ALL ENDS ARE CLEAN,

TWIST AND SOLDER

EVERY SECOND GROUP

OF 3 WIRES TOGETHER.

Step 5

USE A HEAVY SOLDERING IRON,

AT LEAST

80 Watts

MAKE SURE THE CONNECTIONS ARE GOOD,

YOU WANT A RELIABLE GENERATOR!

Step 6

WORK YOUR WAY AROUND JOINING

EVERY SECOND GROUP OF

3 WIRES.

THE SOLDER SHOULD MELT INTO THE JOINTS

MAKING A STRONG CONNECTION.

IF NOT,THERE IS STILL SOME ENAMEL ON

THE ENDS OR THE IRON IS NOT HOT ENOUGH!

step 7

THE COPPER BRIDGE CONNECTOR

CAN BE LEFT IN PLACE!

CLEAN THE TOP FACE OF THE

3 MAIN TERMINALS

WITH SANDPAPER OR A FILE

Step 8

A LENGTH OF INSULATED COPPER WIRE RATED

10amps OR MORE WILL BE USED TO CONNECT

EACH GROUP OF COILS TO THE TERMINALS

IT SHOULD BE LONG ENOUGH TO GO AROUND THE

STATOR & REACH THE COPPER BRIDGE.

Angry Ram says:

MOVE ASIDE THE FIRST 2 CUT ENDS IN EACH

GROUP OF 3,

THE REMAINING WIRES WILL BE

SOLDERED TO THE INSUATED WIRE

step 9

MEASURE & CUT THE WIRE!

STRIP ABOUT 1cm FROM THE END!

CUT OUT A SECTION OF INSULATION WHERE THE

COIL WIRES INTERSECT WITH THE MAIN WIRE

DO THIS ALL THE WAY AROUND

USING WIRE STRIPPERS, OR A KNIFE.

step 10

SOLDER THE END TO THE FIRST 1st TERMINAL LEAVING

ENOUGH ROOM FOR A SPADE CONNECTOR

NOW WRAP THE CUT ENDS AROUND

THE MAIN WIRE & SOLDER

Step 7

WORK YOUR WAY AROUND JOINING EVERY

SIXTH COIL WIRE TO THE MAIN WIRE

STEP 8

THE FINAL CONNECTION SHOULD BE

JUST BEFORE THE COPPER BRIDGE

PHASE 1 COMPLETE…

2 MORE TO GO

Angry Ram says:

DO THE SAME FOR THE NEXT PHASE,

JOINING TO THE 2nd TERMINAL & SOLDERING

ON THE NEXT GROUP OF COIL WIRES.

MAKE SURE THE WIRES DON’T

TOUCH THE TERMINALS NEXT TO THEM.

step 9

THE COIL JOINS FOR EACH PHASE

SHOULD NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER.

BUT IF THEY DO I’LL BE USING HOT GLUE

TO KEEP THEM APART LATER

WORK YOUR WAY AROUND

AS WITH THE 1st PHASE

PHASE 2 COMPLETE

Angry Ram says:

REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR

THE 3rd AND FINAL PHASE

JOINING THE REMAINING

ENDS TO THE MAIN WIRE.

DON’T USE MUM’S GOOD KNIFE!

KEEP THE SOLDERING IRON TIP CLEAN

WITH A DAMP RAG AS YOU GO

THE FINAL CONNECTION!

SOME OF THE JOINS ARE A LITTLE CLOSE FOR COMFORT

SO I’LL INSULATE THEM USING A HOT GLUE GUN!

I HAVE USED THIS METHOD ON ALL MY STATORS

& NEVER HAD ANY SHORTS OR PROBLEMS WITH

THE WIRE MELTING THE GLUE,YOU CAN USE

GOOD QUALITY INSUL (insulation) TAPE INSTEAD IF YOU LIKE.

LOOKS MESSY

BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER!

YOU WON’T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT OFTEN!

DONE!,ALREADY TO ATTACH TO YOUR WINDMILL,

WATER WHEEL OR BIO GAS POWERED ENGINE,

THIS SHOULD GIVE YEARS OF TROUBLE FREE SERVICE!

IN 6 YEARS OF LIVING OFF THE GRID

USING THIS METHOD

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SIDE

OF THESE GENERATORS.

NOTE

INSUL TAPE MEANS ELECTRICAL TAPE

INSUL IS SHORT FOR INSULATION

HOW TO CONVERT A WASHING MACHINE INTO A WATER POWERED GENERATOR

MAKING ENOUGH POWER TO LIVE OFF THE GRID. 11 November 2011

THIS VIDEO SHOWS HOW TO

CONVERT AN OLD FISHER AND PAYKEL

SMART DRIVE WASHING MACHINE

INTO A WATER POWERED DC

GENERATOR

FOR UNDER

300 DOLLARS

THESE ARE QUITE COMMON IN NZ NEW ZEALAND

I PICKED THIS ONE

UP FROM THE DUMP

THE MOTHER BOARD WAS SHOT,

BUT STATOR

AND BEARINGS

ARE ALL GOOD

STEP ONE

STRIP IT DOWN (THIS IS MESSY WORK,BEST TO WEAR GLOVES)

LEAVE THE MAIN SHAFT

IN PLACE

AND

KEEP THE PARTS

SHOWN HERE!

CHECK OUT http://WWW.THEBACKSHED.COM

FOR REWIRING INSTRUCTIONS

TO SUIT YOUR

HEAD,

FLOW AND

VOLTAGE

STATOR REWIRED . I EXPECT TO

GENERATE AROUND

700 WATTS

SO USED HEAVY

INSULATED WIRE.

THIN WIRE WOULD BURN OUT!

IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW SEE FOR YOURSELF!

STEP 2

YOU’LL NEED A HEAVY

SOLDERING IRON-AT

LEAST

100 WATTS

AT THIS STAGE THE GENERATOR

WILL MAKE

3 PHASE AC

I NEED DC TO CHARGE

MY BATTERY BANK

SO I’LL MAKE A

RECTICIER WITH THESE PARTS.

STEP 3

A PIECE OF ALUMINUM

WITH A FLAT SIDE

FOR A HEAT SINK

THERMAL GREASE

3 BRIDGE DIODES,

& 3 BOLTS.

MARK OUT AND DRILL THE

HEAT SINK TO FIT THE

PUMP MOUNT HOLES ON

THE BOTTOM OF THE TUB.

CLEAN AND DRILL THE HEAT SINK,

SMEAR THERMAL GREASE ON

THE FLAT SIDE OF THE DIODES

AND ATTACH DIODES TO

HEAT SINK AS SHOWN.

CONNECT ALL POSITIVE TERMINALS TOGETHER

THIS GROUP WILL GO TO THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY BACK.

DO THE SAME ON THE

NEGATIVE SIDE,

THIS GOES TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY BANK

MAKE A CRADLE

FOR THE TUB.

I WELDED ONE

TOGETHER FROM

SCRAP METAL.

Angry Ram says:

BUT YOU CAN USE WOOD OR ANYTHING STURDY WITH A CURVE TO SUIT THE

UNDERSIDE OF TUB.

STRAP THE TUB TO THE

CRADLE USING WEBBING (I USED AN OLD SEAT BELT )

CLAMP IT DOWN FIRMLY.

BUT NOT HARD THAT

THE TUB DISTORTS.

STEP 4

NOW I’LL MAKE A COVER

OUT OF PLYWOOD

TO STOP

WATER SPLASHING OUT

WHILE TURBINE IS RUNNING.

CLOSED CELL FOAM

COVERING THE PLYWOOD

MAKES A GOOD SEAL.

BOLTS THROUGH THE TOP RING

TO HOLD THE COVER IN PLACE.

Step 5

USING AN OLD INNER TUBE,

CUT OUT A CIRCULAR PIECE

WITH A HOLE IN THE CENTER.

THIS GOES OVER THE SHAFT AND WILL DEFLECT MOST OF THE WATER AWAY,

FROM THE MAIN SEAL.

RUBBER RING FITTED CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE

TO THE REAR OF THE TUB,

BUT NOT TOUCHING TH PLASTIC.

THIS IS THE PELTON WHEEL

I’LL BE USING

IT’S ALL READY TO SLIP ON THE

SMART DRIVE SHAFT SPLINE!

Ecoinnovation.co.nz sell these for around 200 dollars.

STEP 6

YOU MAY NEED TO MACHINE THE

CENTER HOLE OR USE SPACERS TO

MAKE IT FIT PROPERLY,

BE PRECISE AND BALANCE THE WHEEL,

AFTER MACHINING.

LINE UP AND MARK

WHERE THE HOLE FOR

THE JET WILL BE CUT ( RIGHT HAND SIDE).

CUT THE HOLE SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE PIPE.

I’LL BE USING A STANDARD 25mm GARDEN

TAP FITTING AS THE JET.

THEY’RE CHEAP,DURABLE AND EASILY DRILLED OUT TO SUIT YOUR FLOW.

HOLE DRILLED,LOOK THROUGH AND

MAKE SURE THE

CENTER OF THE HOLE

LINES UP WITH THE CENTER OF PELTON CUPS,

IF NOT USE A FILE TO CENTRALIZE.

STEP 7

NOZZLE IN PLACE,

MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE ROOM TO

UNDO IT FROM THE PIPE

WITHOUT REMOVING THE

WHEEL.

THIS IS MY WATER SUPPLY PIPE WITH PRESSURE GUAGE AND TAP FITTED.

THE BLACK BOX IS A

PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH I’LL BE

USING TO AUTOMATICALLY

SHUT DOWN TURBINE WHEN

WATER PRESSURE DROPS.

STEP 8

CUT A HOLE IN THE

BOTTOM TO LET THE

SPENT WATER ESCAPE.

RECTIFIER AND

STATOR IN PLACE.

CONNECT A WIRE FROM

EACH PHASE OF THE

STATOR TO THE AC INPUTS

ON THE DIODES BLOCKS.

JAM a PLASTIC BAG IN THE PUMP HOLES TO STOP WATER SPLASHING ELECTRICs

I MADE A COVER

FOR THE REAR,

AND TO STOP

THE RAIN GETTING IN.

THE VALUE WILL BE CONTROLLED BY A PICKAXE MICRO CHIP – SENSING AND

OPENING WHEN I NEED EXTRA POWER.

(VIA ANALOG INPUT FROM BATTERY BANK).

IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN I DON’T NEED IT AND

IF BATTERY VOLTAGE GETS TOO HIGH,

DUE TO INVERTER FAIL ETC.

I DIDN’T WANT TO SPEND 600 DOLLARS ON A HIGH VOLUME SOLENOID VALVE,

SO MADE MY OWN FROM

AN OLD BATTERY DRILL

AND GRINDER HEAD

COSTS ZERO DOLLARS , IN OTHER WORDS : COSTS NO DOLLARS!

SEEMS TO WORK OKAY!

STEP 9

A QUICK PAINT JOB TO PROTECT

THE PLASTIC FROM UV RAYS.

AND IT’S GOOD TO GO ALREADY TO CONNECT TO THE WATER SUPPLY.

HEAD – 48 m.

FLOW – 4-5 LITRES PER SECOND

20 AMPS @

20 VOLTS = 500 WATTS ON A 9mm JET

I’VE SINCE DRILLED IT OUT TO 13mm

AND IT’S PUSHING 800 WATTS

ENOUGH TO POWER MY FRIDGE,

2 FREEZERS,LIGHTS,TOASTER,KETTLE,PC,TV ETC, AND A

180 LITRE HOT WATER CYLINDER!

Angry Ram says:

Smartdrive Pelton wheel 28 head

Water intake

Pipe length –

105 metres

13 amps @ 26 volts =338 watts

THIS TURBINE HAS A FULLY AUTOMATED CONTROL VALVE –

A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE PIPE IS MONITORED BY

A LOGIC CONTROLLER.

WHEN THE PRESSURE IN THE PIPE DROPS, THE

WATER VALUE SHUTS TEMPORARILY, ALLOWING PRESSURE TO

BUILD UP AGAIN.

SO EVEN WITH A VERY LOW WATER FLOW,IT WILL STILL

PRODUCE POWER BY KEEPING HEAD IN THE PIPE.

Step 2

I used an old 12v battery drill to

open and shut the valve.

THE POWER IS FED DIRECTLY INTO A 24 VOLT BATTERY

BANK.

A 24vdc – 240vac 3000v INVERTER IS CONNECTED TO

THE BATTERY BANK SO I CAN RUN 240v HOUSEHOLD

APPLIANCES.

WHEN THE BATTERY BANK IS FULLY CHARGED, THE

LOGIC CONTROLLER WILL DIVERT EXCESS POWER INTO

A HOT WATER CYLINDER AT 240vac.

THIS WAY NO POWER IS WASTED!

For more information on how to make a

smart drive Pelton wheel from an old

washing machine motor or build a

custom charge controller,

Check out my other videos

Free power- converted Fisher and Paykel smart drive washing machine Pelton

wheel turbine 9 May 2012.

I made this water powered generator from an old washing machine

and some junk I had lying around the yard.

It has a fully automated control valve using a water pressure sensor monitored by

a programmable logic controller, so it will still generate power with a very low

water flow by intermittently shutting the valve when it senses low pressure.

It’s not easy to eat healthy food, I’ve been wondering what eating healthy is. It turns out the only sweet foods I should eat is dark chocolate, berry desserts, and no other chocolates, sweetmeats, desserts and lollies. No pasta, grains, potatoes or cooked vegetables nor mixing fruits with vegetables, I’ve got it, it’s so simple.
