A Manucritical Hydro-Electrical Power Plant

Planning

Realisation

Material:

2 plastic containers, wood, pump, generator, lamp, water wheel, sluice, cable, two drains

Procedure:

The water runs through the sluice to the water wheel and sets it in motion. The water wheel is connected to a generator and generates electricity. The lamp is connected to the generator by two cables and glows, as soon as the generator is set in motion.

The water reaches the water basin and is pumped into the first basin by a pump with an extra power supply. Thus, a water cycle is generated.

To end the water cycle, a drain is built in.
