## Description

Product Description Hydropower has been used for hundreds of years in watermills and is now commonly used to generate electricity in applications such as hydroelectric dreams and Tidal power plants. Explore the power of water by building models and conducting experiments with them. Learn about how different devices are used to extract useful energy from moving water — from a waterwheel in a small stream to a giant turbine in a Tidal power station. Build a waterwheel, a sawmill, and a hammer mill to harness the energy of moving water to do different types of physical work. Investigate the intriguing properties of water by performing experiments involving surface tension, adhesion, and cohesion. Learn about water pressure by building a water tower, communicating vessels, and a water fountain. Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED. Learn about where the energy in ocean waves, tides, and rivers comes from, and discover how we can generate electricity from them. The full-color, 32-page experiment manual offers illustrated instructions and Scientific information. 12 experiments and building projects harness mechanical energy from water to do physical work generate electricity to light an LED learn the physics of water turbines discover why hydropower is a promising source of energy From the Manufacturer Hydropower: Renewable Energy Science Kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it for outdoors**
A: We put it in a tote inside at the science fair.  Not sure how long it would hold up outside.

**Q: How long does it take to build?**
A: Thank you for your question. It depends on the model and the building speed of the user. There are 6 different models that you can build with varying levels of difficulty. You can learn more here: http://www.thamesandkosmos.com/products/manuals/624811_hydropower_manual.pdf

**Q: Will a 6 yr old be able to use this?**
A: With some oversight, yes. It is an assembly where there are instructions that need to be followed, with some explanations and other tips in written form, so it is helpful if the assembler can read, understand, and fully comprehend. Once assembled, there are gearing changes and other adaptations that can be done by a 6-year old after he/she has a basic understanding of the actual workings of the generator assembly. We used this set for a 7th grade science fair experiment, so the assembly was 100% done by my then 13-year old son. But I followed along out of curiosity and I think it could be assembled by a younger set of hands with adult supervision.

**Q: The led broke on this contraption, and attaching a new led doesn't seem to work. i tried a 3ohm bulb with no success. suggestions?**
A: When mine broke, I thought it was the LED bulb, but it was actually the motor.  It is possible that is what is wrong with yours.
