He's generating low voltage 3 phase AC from a water powered turbine, rectifying it to 24V DC and then using a inverter to generate 110V AC (this is the USA). This is then wired to a standard USA plug which he plugs into a wall socket - almost the equivalent of having an extension lead with a main plug on each end :) doesn't know much about electricity but his mate wired it to "code".He uses a shop vac to start his generator by introducing a vacuum in the pipe which is then maintained allowing water to flow faster than it would with just a simple syphon arrangement.
