What material is used to make a" HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT?"Iwant to make my school project>?

Answer 1

This is a great web site to build a small hydro-electric plant for a school project:

http://www.re-energy.ca/pdf/cp2.pdf

You can find a list of materials there.

Also check:

http://www.re-energy.ca/t_waterpower.shtml
http://www.small-hydro.com

for a good background on hydroelectricity.

The formula for determining how much energy is available from a given water source is:

E=HxQ

Where E is the amount of energy produced in megawatts (1000 kilowatts)
H is the head in meters (difference in elevation between the intake and the turbine)
Q = the water flow in cubic meters per second

Answer 2

very like an previous formed waterwheel! of course a prominent hydroelectric plant is a little greater complicated. :) while the water flows right into a hydroelectric plant, its channeled so as that it flows by way of a turbine (in many situations that's finished in this manner of style that the water falls a good distance before everything--because of the fact the water is shifting plenty quicker, so it has greater potential to tension the turbine. (it relatively is why many powerplants are placed with dams--like the Boulder dam--or waterfalls like Niagra). The turbine spins, turning a shaft that for the time of turn motives an electric powered generator to spin, producing electric powered contemporary. and that's approximately all there is to it. The complicating factors incorporate monitoring and controlling the water flow, and distributing the electrical powered energy to consumers. a prominent hydorelectric plant is a complicated affair--yet what I merely defined is surely all there is to the essential operation.

Answer 3

There is a turbine which is a combo of copper wires and magnets and the turbine is rotated when the water falls from a height and the mechanical energy thus created is converted into electrical energy as the magnets in the turbine rotate around the copper wires present.

Answer 4

Water under pressure (usually by a height fall)

Simple turbine so the falling water will pass over some blades

Turbine blades are attached by shaft to an electrical generator

Answer 5

Portland Cement

Answer 6

By far the most important material for the construction of a hydro power plant is concrete.
