A hydroelectric generator produces electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of running water. Now you can not only find stationary larger-scale hydroelectric generators but also portable micro ...

The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator.  The devil here is, of course, in all ...

Japan’s Ricoh has designed a micro hydropower system for sewage plants that could potentially be used in combination with ground-mounted solar or floating PV. The system features a sustainable water ...

Discover how to build a simple DIY water-powered electricity generator at home using accessible materials. This step-by-step ...

As the gates leading from Sam Rayburn Lake open, the water rushes towards the Kaplan turbines some 100’ below. The river begins to rise and swell below the dam as the ground below your feet vibrates ...
