Key Features
- Reservoir, penstock and turbine housing in one unit.
- Pelton or Kaplan-style turbine runner.
- Transparent acrylic (PMMA) and corrosion-resistant alloy parts.
- Built-in DC generator with LED/voltmeter output.
- Submersible low-voltage pump for closed-loop running.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| System | Reservoir, penstock and turbine housing |
| Turbine | Pelton or Kaplan-style runner |
| Materials | Transparent acrylic (PMMA), corrosion-resistant alloys |
| Generator | DC generator with LED/voltmeter output |
| Circulation | Submersible low-voltage pump, closed loop |
How It Is Used
The pump lifts water to the reservoir, from where it runs down the penstock and drives the turbine runner. The turbine turns the generator and the LED or meter shows the output, so students can relate the head of water and the flow to the power produced while the water circulates continuously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hydro Power Model need a running water supply?
No. A submersible low-voltage pump returns the water from the turbine to the reservoir, so the model runs in a closed loop.
