Model of a hydro-electric power plant 2.0

Hydropower and Energy Conversion in the Classroom

Grade level: 7–10
Use: Demonstration of power generation and energy conversion using hydropower

The Model of a hydro-electric power plant 2.0 demonstrates the generation of power from hydropower and its conversion into electrical energy. Transparent viewing windows in the sturdy metal housing allow the operation of the free-jet turbine to be observed while the model is running. The turbine and generator are connected by a common shaft.

The integrated 6 V generator with a power output of 3 W converts the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy. A light bulb and an electric motor with propeller are provided as electrical loads. The 4 mm output sockets allow connections for direct or alternating voltage.

The components are mounted on a sturdy, non-slip baseboard with a printed circuit diagram. The wiring is protected while remaining visible underneath the baseboard. Two 1 m plastic hoses are provided for the water inlet and outlet and can be attached and removed using hose clamps with wing screws.

Brief instructions support the setup and connection of the model.
