Hydro Power: 1.water Wheel (From The Past) 2.water/tidal Turbine (Modern)

Hydro power is a renewable energy source that generates electricity from moving water. It has two main modern forms - tidal turbines, which are underwater, and water turbines used in dams. Hydro power does not pollute the air as it is a clean renewable resource, though it requires large spaces and may impact natural environments. While hydro was historically generated using water wheels, modern innovations like dams and turbines have increased its ability to produce energy on a larger scale.

Hydro power

1.Water wheel (from the past) 2.Water/tidal turbine (modern)

Hydro power is the most stable renewable energy source. Hydro comes from moving water Hydro power is a renewable energy so hydro power doesn't pollute the air. Hydro power could create energy but needs an invention to help.

What is hydro power

Tidal and water turbine


Modern invention Tidal turbine are underwater Water turbine are used to support dams

Inside the turbine

Water wheel

Water wheel are inventions from the past Water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing water into useful form of power Before electricity, in the olden days they use water wheels. Water wheels is made out of large wooden or metal wheel. With bucket outside driving the surface

Time line of hydro (past)


Water wheels are used in the ancient world Water wheels are continue to be used Yellow stone, USA become a national park OTEC is first suggest by French scientist The first hydro plant begin operating in Appleton,Wisconsin Hydro electric power station are built in Germany and at Niagara fall, USA Electricity is produced by geothermal energy The world first geothermal plant open in California,USA The world first OTEC plant is built in Cuba The Hoover dam is completed in united states

Time line of hydro (present)


1959 1960-1967 1966 1981 1984 1990 2000 2003 2007 The kariba dam is completed in Africa France build a tidal energy station The first geothermal power plant is in Japan OTEC research begins at Hawaii natural energy laboratory Itaipu Dam built on the boarder Micro hydro project begin operating around the world Islay were station open in Scotland The wold first salt power is open in Norway The three Georges dam in China become the largest dam in the world

Inside the modern waterwheels

Positive and negative


Positive Doesn't pollute the air Clean Renewable energy

Negative

Takes up lots of space It might cause natural disaster Its renewable energy but its too slow.
