How Do You Build A Hydro Generator?
Hydroelectricity generators are capable of producing electricity using hydropower. It is a form of convertible energy. Small hydro generators also have considerable potential for giving electric supply in major countries like the U.K. Required Materials • Motor/electrical generator – a small motor to attach the water tube, or an electrical AC generator may also be used. • LED (i.e. light emitting diode) – for testing purposes. • Water wheel – for rotation. • Wire coils – for the connection of circuits. • Garden pipe connected to a river or waterspout. • Writing materials to maintain records. Instructions Step one: Water needs to be taken from a nearby river or reservoir. It is to be then fed through the garden pipe, into blades of the water wheels. The hydroelectric potential of the river can also be determined through this operation. Step two: The force of the running or flowing water on the blades causes it to rotate. Electric power is generated from the movement of the water. Step t
