Renewable energy - water turbine
Water Turbine PURPOSE: To make a water turbine to mimic hydro power . Renewable energy is the future. HYPOTHESIS: The speed and energy of water would rotate the turbine and that could be connected to dynamo/generator to generate electricity MATERIALS: -PVC pipes -PVC joints -Tinker toy -Drinking straw spoons -bubble bottle with a tap INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Remove the spoons from drink straws. 2. Use the spool to insert the spoons and create a turbine. 3. Use the rod and end caps and insert them into pvc pipe joins 4. Make sure the turbine can rotate freely. 5. Use pvc pipes to make stand for the water bottle. 6. Fill water bottle with water and open the tap and let the water force rotate the water turbine. 7. You can use tachometer to measure the speed. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to understand the potential energy and the height and water force and how it determines the rotating speed and such. 9.Write down the results. RESULTS:...
