Introduction
Advantages
"Welcome to the dawn of sustainable energy! Nestled amidst the
majestic landscape, our hydro power project stands as a beacon of
innovation and environmental stewardship. Harnessing the
relentless force of flowing water, we embark on a journey to Hydroelectric power offers a
power communities while preserving the planet for generations to multitude of advantages,
come. Join us as we delve into the heart of this hydroelectric ranging from environmental
marvel, where nature's abundance meets cutting-edge technology, sustainability and reliability to
shaping a future powered by clean, renewable energy. Step into a economic prosperity and
world where the rush of water fuels not just turbines, but the energy security. As we strive
aspirations of a greener tomorrow.
towards a greener future,
harnessing the power of water
remains a cornerstone of our

Objective transition to a more

sustainable energy landscape.

The objective of our physics hydro power project is to

investigate and demonstrate the principles of hydroelectric
energy generation through hands-on experimentation and
analysis. Through this project, we aim to explore the
conversion of kinetic energy from flowing water into
electrical energy, understand the factors influencing
efficiency and output, and apply fundamental physics
concepts to optimize the design and operation of
hydroelectric systems.

Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to see how pouring 2L of
water from different heights will affect the energy production
based on the spinning wheel.

Hypothesis
We think that pouring water from the height of 36 inches will
make the cork spin faster and create hydropower
Materials:
Plywood

Elastic band

2 holders
Nails

Leds

..
PVC pipe
Wire

Spur gear
More plywood

Hot glue

Soldering Iron

Tap water
Dc motor

Procedure
1. Join the 3 circles of plywood with nails and put a support wheel to it
2. Then put the supports and join it to the wheel
3. Connect the spoons to the wheel with spur gear so it can roll
4. Put an elastic band to the wheel
5. To the Dc motor put a holder to I and connect 2 wires to it so it can light up with
the help of several leds
6. Connect the whole piece to a large pvc pipe glued to the plywood
7. Glue another pvc pipe to the plywood
8. Paste a plastic bottle cut in half make a hole and connect a straw to it
9. Then paste a plastic container to the moving piece
10. Pour water to the plastic bottle

Conclusion
In conclusion, the implementation of hydro power offers a promising solution for
sustainable energy generation. Through the utilization of water's kinetic energy, we
have witnessed an efficient and environmentally friendly means of producing electricity.
As demonstrated in this project, harnessing the power of water not only contributes to
change.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
converted from one form of energy to
another.
