Thames and Kosmos 624811 Alternative Energy and Environmental Science Hydropower

Description

Hydropower has been used for hundreds of years in watermills and is now commonly used to generate electricity in applications such as hydroelectric dams and tidal power plants. Explore the power of water by and conducting 30 experiments with 10 different models that you construct yourself. Learn about how different devices are used to extract useful energy from moving water — from a waterwheel in a small stream to a giant turbine in a tidal power station.
