Hydropower energy

The Hydropower Energy teaching solution introduces students to the fundamentals of water turbines, The self-contained kit is supplied with fast assembly GARENA linking system allowing quick connection common water taps.

The kit is supplied with different types of turbines – from a simple water wheel to a modern, highly efficient Pelton turbine and an electrical generator used to convert water power into electricity.

Learning Objectives:

• Volume flow, flow velocity and power as a function of the height of fall
• Volume flow, flow velocity and power as a function of the pipe cross-section
• Comparison of the functionality of Pelton turbine, crossflow turbine and waterwheel
• Comparison of the performance of the Pelton turbine, crossflow turbine and waterwheel in dependence to the volume flow and pressure
