Renewable energy - water turbine

Image
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: When t

Telegraph and Morse code - Civil war inventions PURPOSE: To make a mock morse code generator using lamp and buzzer. HYPOTHESIS: .Using buzzer can communicate in morse code via sound. .Using lamp can communicate in morse code via light. MATERIALS: Buzzer Lamp Battery AA and battery case Wires Switch CIRCUIT: INSTRUCTIONS: 1. I used a photo frame and a cardboard.  2. Poke holes to find place holders for battery and lamp and switch and buzzer. 3.Connect a buzzer and lamp in series with +ve of the battery. 4. Connect a switch to -ve of the battery and other end to the lamp. 5. Use the switch to hold for more than 2 seconds to send a DASH and a hold a second to send a DOT. 4. Repeat steps 5 multiple times with multiple combinations and send your encrypted messages in morse code. 5.Write down the results. RESULTS: 1. Sender sends messages translated in morse code and receiver receives them and translates them. CONCLUSION:

RGB to VIBGYOR PURPOSE: To make different colors using main food colors.  HYPOTHESIS: To need to get the right combination of colors to make right color. MATERIALS: Food coloring - Red, Blue, Green, Yellow Syringe See through Cups (4 party size cups and multiple contiment cups) Water post it sheet PROCEDURE: 1.Take four cups of water and to each cup add 4 drops of food coloring respectively 2.Take syringe and draw ounces of red color water and drop it in condiment cup. 3.Take syringe and draw ounces of blue color water and drop it in same condiment cup. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times with multiple combinations and produce new colors. 5.Write down the results. RESULTS: 1.Each combination and measurement produces different colors CONCLUSION: 1.I  mimicked this same experiment in my raspberry pi sense hat grid using python language. 2. The real life color mix was different from computer mix of colors 3. The concept however
