Hydropower Experiments, Projects & Background Information Build a turbine that will be able to harness the energy of a simulated ocean current to power a light bulb. S Build a model tidal barrage or dam and investigate how the size of the tunnel affects the speed of rotation. R How Reservoir Height Affects Hydroelectric Power Production R Determine if any locations along the coasts of the United States are appropriate for building wave energy power systems. R Using Hydropower to Lift a Load R How Hydro Electricity is Produced? S Extracting Energy From Phase Shift in Water S Test salinity gradient power (blue energy) R R Test whether a hydrogen peroxide powered Tesla turbine has more energy than a battery of the same weight. R The Effect of the Density of Water on the Wattage Output of an Hydroelectric Generator R Prove that when looking at the power available in a wave, the height of the wave has a greater contribution than the period of the wave. R Determine if a vortex of spinning water would provide more kinetic energy than a laminar flow of water and would therefore increase electrical power output in a hydroelectric dam. R Ice Expansion Generators: A Powerful New Source of Renewable Energy R Prove that smaller waves produce more electricity. R How Does Water Height Affect the Output of a Turbine? S Pull a car with water power S What level of slope can produce the most amount of electricity in a mini hydroelectric plant. R
Find out whether it is possible to generate energy from the power of waves by using a shake-powered flashlight. R Build a Kelvin Water Dropper. R Generate electricity by evaporating water using a Classic Drinking Bird R R Simulate a wave energy buoy using magnets and springs that would generate electricity by converting wave energy to electrical energy. R R Build and demonstrate your own hydroelectric (water-powered) generator. R R The effects of wave amplitude and frequency on the amount of electricity that can be produced by a water wave generator. R R R Which type of natural energy source is more efficient - a hydroelectric dam or a wind turbine. R Ocean wave energy converted to electricity R R R R R S Generate electricity by harnessing some of the kinetic energy of water flowing through a 1 1/4 inch pipe. RR Describe alternative energy sources and outline advantages and disadvantages of any source. R R S Hydropower Experiments, Projects & Background Information |
