How Hydroelectric Power Works
Hydroelectric energy is a renewable energy source dependent upon the hydrologic cycle of water, which involves evaporation, precipitation and the flow of water due to gravity. Canada has abundant water resources and a geography that provides many opportunities to produce low-cost energy. In fact, accessing the energy from flowing waters has played an important role in the economic and social development of Canada for the past three centuries.

Bhutan hopes to cash in on hydro-electric power - 30 Mar 08
Bhutan, the world's newest democracy, is hoping to boost its economic prospects by harnessing its major natural resource - water.
The Tala hydro-electric dam in southern Bhutan is already making $175 million a year by exporting electricity to India.

Mechanicville Hydroelectric Station Tour
Albany Engineering President James Besha lead a Tour of the historic Mechanicville Hydroelectric Station on the Hudson River, on Jan. 20, '07. This is the oldest continuously operating hydroelectric plant in the United States. It has run 24/7 for more than 100 years. It's so old its output is at 40 Hertz, so they change frequency with a Motor/generator set.

Micro Hydro Electric Power Plant
This is the Hydro Electric Power Plant I designed and Installed at my property in the Rainforests of The Daintree.
There is no Grid Power in this area,so you have to make your own!
Solar Power isn't the best option due to the amount of overcast,rainy days we get here,especially during the Monsoon [Wet] Season....We can get up to 5 meters of rain a year,and since there's a couple of creeks that flow through the Property....what better way to create power.
Details : 540 meters of 120mm [5 inch] Pipe.
50 meters Head.
Francis Turbine driving a 8Kw Brushless Alternator.
Output : Up to 5 Kw [ 20 Amps ] 240 Volt AC.
Water Flow : Up to 20 litre / Second.
Regulated by an Electronic Governor and Water Flow.

SinkScience #09 - Faucet Hydro-Electric Power
MrfixitRick shows how to make hydro-electric power using faucet water pressure, a Tesla CD Turbine, and a Subaru radiator fan motor as a generator.
The Tesla CD Turbine is home-made from recycled CD's, CD cakebox, and neodymium magnets.
The Tesla CD Turbine web site:
