Hydroelectric Generation

Mobile Science Museum · Electromagnetism

Operation: Turn the handle to bring water from the lower tank to a higher level, and observe the working process of hydroelectric power generation. Function Overview: This exhibit mainly consists of a display stand, a glass water tank, and a power generation indicator device, demonstrating the working principle of hydroelectric power generation to the audience. Scientific Principle: The audience turns the handle, driving the waterwheel to bring water from the lower tank to a higher level. The water gains potential energy. As the water flows downward, it does work on the generator blades, driving the generator rotor to rotate. The rotor cuts the magnetic lines of force, generating an induced electromotive force and induced current, which lights up the LED. This is the basic principle of hydroelectric power generation.
