Hydroelectric Turbine Generator Project

The document discusses the process of designing and testing a hydroelectric turbine generator model. It describes how the group conducted research, divided tasks, and tested initial designs using magnets and copper coils. The first tests did not generate enough current, so the group increased the number of turns in the coil and magnets. Further testing still did not produce expected results based on theory. The document then outlines the materials used to build a prototype, including a plastic bowl, hose, water bottle, and plywood. Upon assembly, the group found a minor issue with the water inlet positioning but were otherwise able to complete their prototype.

Hydroelectric Turbine Generator Model Part, Materials, and assemblies

Description

Discussion
Part 1

group forming and

We form a group and decide to do research about

our project
We divide the parts that need to go more deep

research
From that we know the main part of our project is

task

the magnetism and the turbine.


Part 2

The members of our group buy the magnet at


mybotics located at taman universiti. Others
member find the copper coil at the workshop and

the plywood.
We start our testing how the electric will occur. We
begin turns the coil with 50 turn and get 3 circle of
coil with diameter 10 cm. Then we use analog

Testing and solve

the problem

multimeter to measure the current.


The results that we get for first trial is none current
happened when we rotate in between magnet and
the coil. But from first trial we know that the

copper coil have it current inside it.


So we decide to go through our problem with
compare it with internet source and ask the electric

student
From that we know that our coil turn are not
enough and magnet not to strong cut the
magnetic field that our first problem occurs.

Part 3

From the previous testing we make change and will

do second test .
The change we made is we increase the turns of

coil to 200 turn and increase the magnet total 8

magnet we use .
We rotate the coil and get the result by using
multimeter about 0.8 to 1.0 ampere but us still not

get the current that reasonable with the theory.


Part 4

Bucket
Main body
Water inlet
Shaft and
wheel

We discuss the material we should use to achieve

this condition
We use plastic bowl cup as the bucket
Use hose that connect with water bottle mineral as
water inlet the hose hole should concentric with

bucket.
Main body we use water bottle tank because its
strong to overcome the heavy flow water if we put

at the outside.
We use plywood and attached with pipe so we can

glue it with shaft .


Part 5

The water

inlet

Our project design are done assembly


We make test and it results shows that all the part
that we assemblies are in well cooperate the we
find another problem that not so big and can be

overcome by position it accurate it are water inlet.


Finally our project ready go .
