Feature:
Demonstrates Hydroelectric Power Generation
Open Design Gives View of Spinning Turbine and Water Stream
Falling Water Lights an LED
The Hydro Accessory is used with the Energy Transfer-Generator (ET-8771) to demonstrate how falling water generates electricity. The gravitational potential energy of the water is converted into electrical energy as the falling water turns the turbine. The water can be supplied using the optional Water Reservoir (ME-8594). The water that has passed through the turbine is caught in a beaker and measured to determine the total mass that has fallen. The water nozzle size and angle can be adjusted to optimize performance. By changing the height of the Water Reservoir, different efficiencies are achieved.
Power data as water falls from the reservoir through the turbine.
