Design and Build a Prototype Hydroelectric Generator

Introduction
A portable

Hydroelectric Generator is a small generator that is mobile and can easily be set up, it uses high pressured water flowing from a high head.

Problem Statement

Conventional generator uses fossil fuel and can damage the environment No efficient hydroelectric generators available to consumers today

Advantages

It can be helpful for those people who are living in poverty and are currently being cut-out from the modern world It can be use by charity organization such as (UNICEF) by providing them electricity for their temporary facilities such as their temporary medical tent

Objectives

To design and build the prototype hydroelectric generator light enough so that it is portable. To make the prototype hydroelectric generators current output stable for average consumer appliances.

Scope of Study

This study focuses on the basic principles of conventional hydroelectric generator and basic working principle of alternators

Research Methodology

Designs are done by interviews, studying all writing, journals, reference books, and web pages Using CATIA Software Testing and implementation

Expected Outcome

A portable hydroelectric generator that is movable, able to power most consumer electrical appliances and will stand common environmental influence (durable).
