2. Micro hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_hydro

   Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydro . [ 1 ] These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks, particularly where ...

3. Screw turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_turbine

   A screw turbine at a small hydro power plant in Goryn, Poland. The Archimedean screw is an ancient invention, attributed to Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC.), and commonly used to raise water from a watercourse for irrigation purposes. In 1819 the French engineer Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier (1785–1836) suggested using the Archimedean ...

4. Gravitation water vortex power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_water_vortex...

   A schematic presentation of a gravitation water vortex power plant, showing the turbine in yellow. The gravitation water vortex power plant is a type of micro hydro vortex turbine system which converts energy in a moving fluid to rotational energy using a low hydraulic head of 0.7–3 metres (2 ft 4 in – 9 ft 10 in). This technology is based ...

   The City of Columbus is spending more than $15 million to restart an aging pair of hydro-electric generators beneath O'Shaughnessy Dam near the Zoo. Flooding problems delay breathing new life into ...

6. Pico hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_hydro

   A pico hydro system made by the Sustainable Vision project from Baylor University [1]. Pico hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW. These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes.

7. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

   The Kelvin water dropper, invented by Scottish scientist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867, [1] is a type of electrostatic generator. Kelvin referred to the device as his water-dropping condenser. The apparatus is variously called the Kelvin hydroelectric generator, the Kelvin electrostatic generator, or Lord Kelvin's thunderstorm.

8. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power installations. [1] These technologies are often combined to form a hybrid power solution that can offer superior performance and lower cost than a system based on one ...

9. Water power engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_power_engine

   Dams are a product of the water-power engine and provide consistent energy to nearby populated areas. Murray 1 and 2 Hydro Electric Power Stations and the Tumut 3 Hydroelectric Power Station in Australia is responsible for generating between 550 megawatts and 1,800 megawatts of electricity. The water powered turbines used in these dams need ...
