Hydroelectric Waterwheel System - Sustainability

Sunday, 27th of August Sam and Stefan explored the area where the water wheel will go. We are planning to make it out of plywood and PVC pipe which will be the center. We will then use our knowledge of electronics to make a 'dynamo', which will run electricity through wires to other uses such as a floodlight and chargers in their home. Sam's family currently uses a petrol generator which charges many of their 12V car/boat batteries to power their lights and other small appliances. We are also considering using a washing machine motor as our dynamo. The water wheel will have paddles to create resistance which turns the wheel fast. We are hoping to get up to 30 volts of electricity. Area where wires could be dug underground - maybe power an LED floodlight Wires could lead into caravan to charge devices, power lights, etc. as the generator is not always on Difficult to charge devices when there is no power Generator produces lots of electr...

Stefan, Damon and this guy called Sam, we will be completing our sustainability project on: Build a water dam or hydroelectric waterwheel that collects electricity, which we will then use to power lights, charge devices and maybe even heat or filter water. We have to see the legal requirements for putting our water wheel in. We must allow a part of the stream to flow naturally. We learnt about how induction heating works, the legal requirements and we thought of some ideas what we will do with the electricity. The lesson went well today, we now have a good idea of what we are doing in our project. We did not muck around much.

I am following the blog www.honestlyhealthyfood.com. I like this blog because of its great layout and intriguing clear images. I found it was easier to interpret than other blogs because the items weren't too big and it was rather simple to navigate around. The colours made it easier for me to read the page and the pictures really drew me in and got me interested. The descriptive and short titles clearly explained the dishes and the recipes were also well laid out. I really like this site and hope to use some of its layout techniques on mine to do the same to the readers and viewers.
