Hydropower was the first renewable energy source that was used by man to produce electrical energy. It plays an important role in the energy mix, as it is less prone to fluctuations like other renewable energy sources. Besides experiments as an introduction into the topic of hydropower usage, this kit offers fundamental experiments on the physics of water turbines. Drawing on real life applications, as with all leXsolar products, the leXsolar-Hydropower Ready-to-go kit is equipped with different types of turbines - from a simple water wheel to a modern, highly efficient Pelton turbine.

Training concepts include:

• Comparison of the performance of the pelton turbine, crossflow turbine and waterwheel in dependence to the volume flow and pressure
• Volume flow, flow velocity and power as a function of the height of fall

• Volume flow, flow velocity and power as a function of the pipe cross-section
• Comparison of the functionality of pelton turbine, crossflow turbine and waterwheel
