HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER STATION
$ 175.00 excl. GST
• A well made working model of a Hydro Electric Power Station.
• It is mounted on a plastic base 270 x 240mm and has a turbine which has a transparent cover so that it’s interior can be viewed.
• Water is fed in an inlet tube which rotates the turbine blades and then passes out through an outlet tube.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power). Hydropower supplies 15% of the world's electricity, almost 4,210 TWh in 2023,[1] which is more than all other renewable sources combined and also more than nuclear power.[2] Hydropower can provide large amounts of low-carbon electricity on demand, making it a key element for creating secure and clean electricity supply systems.[2] A hydroelectric power station that has a dam and reservoir is a flexible source, since the amount of electricity produced can be increased or decreased in seconds or minutes in response to varying electricity demand. Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, it produces no direct waste, and almost always emits considerably less greenhouse gas than fossil fuel-powered energy plants.[3] However, when constructed in lowland rainforest areas, where part of the forest is inundated, substantial amounts of greenhouse gases may be emitted.[4] ....")
