About This Product
Students watch water jets strike the buckets and turn the wheel, then read the voltage and current produced, linking the energy of moving water to electrical output. Because the water recirculates, the model runs on the bench without a mains water supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the hydro power model need a water connection?
No. An integrated centrifugal pump circulates the water in a closed loop.
