The Problem and Its Background

Introduction
The impact of the energy crisis is especially felt in agricultural countries where projects
have been begun to make substitute energy sources subject to have sustainable assets like
hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass, and wind energy. While water assets are esteemed for
human well-being and for supporting food production, the energy contained in moving water, for
example, waterways or tides can likewise be bridled to make energy using hydro power or
mechanical employments. Hydro power plants can either be restricted scale or huge degree,
depending on the energy, local conditions and energy interest which deal with a viable force
source that can be used wherever there is water flowing. A flowing stream of water is a resource
that is infinitely available and widely accessible, restricting its capacity to produce power that
will provide a sustainable energy source to raise working profitability and enhance livelihood.

Humans have been harnessing water to perform work for thousands of years. The ancient
Greeks, over 2,000 years ago, employed water wheels to grind wheat into flour, while the
Egyptians during the third century B.C. utilized Archimedes water screws for irrigation. The
development of the modern hydropower turbine can be traced back to the mid-1700s when
Bernard Forest de Bélidor, a French hydraulic and military engineer, authored the
groundbreaking work known as "Architecture Hydraulique"..

1880, a dynamo driven by a water turbine was used to provide arc lighting —a technique
where an electric spark in the air between two conductors produces a light—to a theatre and
storefront in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1881, a dynamo connected to a turbine in a flour mill
provided street lighting at Niagara Falls, New York. Both of these used direct current
technology.

The breakthrough in alternating current, the method used today, allowed power to be
transmitted longer distances and ushered in the first U.S. commercial installation: an alternating
current hydropower plant at the Redlands Power Plant in California in 1893. The Redlands
Power Plant utilized Pelton water wheels powered by water from the nearby Mill Creek and a
three-phase generator that ensured consistent power delivery.

In the past century, several innovations have enabled hydropower to become an integral
part of the renewable energy mix in the United States. Find out more about the last 100 years of
hydropower with this timeline.

This study aims to provide sustainable energy source using flowing water that everyone,
especially the farmer can benefit. This study can be the way to overcome energy crisis in some
matter.
Statement of the problem
1. Is it possible to create a hydro powered machine?
2. Is there any significance different between the commercial product and the expected
product in terms of:
a. Durability
b. Quality
c. Effectiveness and strength
3. How much electricity can a hydropower plant generate?
Statement of the Null Hypothesis

Scope and Delimitation

The study's main focus is on a hydroelectric power plant that can be used as a backup
source of electricity in an emergency. Up until a final, suitable Hydropower Plant is reached, the
development, testing, and improvement of this hydroelectric power box will be dependent on
ongoing consumer feedback. This acts as the starting point for creating the finished result.
OBJECTIVES
1. Provide an Electricity that may use in daily lives
2. Create a reliable and durable electricity using water resources that will help the
community not just in emergency, but also to the land that has no electricity.
3. To reduce electronic waste.

Significant of the Study

Community- This study shall benefit the community to have another source of energy that may
less electricity crisis, specially to the area that there is no electricity.
School- This research project aims to contribute to the school's standing, enhancing its reputation
and recognition.
Future Researchers-This study shall benefit and become reference to their the future
researchers for this study can be the basis for the research studies.

Definition of Terms
Turbine is a machine that converts the energy of moving water into mechanical energy.
Hydropower Plant- It is a renewable source of energy that generates power by using a diversion
structure or irrigation to alter the natural flow of a river or other body of water
Electricity- Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles,
such as electrons, generated by the conversion of the mechanical energy of flowing water into
electrical energy through turbines and generators.
Flowing water- refers to water in motion, typically found in rivers, streams, or other water
bodies, flowing water is the resource utilized to generate electricity. The energy contained within
the movement of this water is harnessed by hydropower plants through various mechanisms to
produce electrical power.
Dynamo- alternatively referred to as an electrical generator or alternator, functions as a
mechanism that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Dynamos play a crucial role
as fundamental constituents within hydroelectric power plants. Their connection to turbines
enables the transformation of the rotational motion that originates from the turbines, propelled by
the movement of water, into electrical energy. Subsequently, this electrical energy is transmitted
for diverse applications, encompassing the provision of power for residential dwellings,
commercial enterprises, and industrial facilities.
