Renewable Energy 101: How Does Hydroelectricity Work?

Who else watched at school?

What is green power?
the real true definition of green power is not the one stated by the media or the gov forums these are only a catchphrase.
the REAL definition of green power is whatever energy was needed to remove it from the earth and ship it then refine it engineer it THEN assemble it to sell it to you (which by the way is a shed load of power) Must be recouped.
Then the life of the item must in the case of wind or solar be long enough to make twice the energy consumed in its manufacture AND at end of life never see landfill.
As things stand wind and solar are NOT filling any these standards a basic internet search will show wind turbine blades being cut into three and dumped into landfill
And solar panels are also in the same boat for avoiding landfill
Now your saying my new electric car is Green Right !! Well No it is not look at the car and remove all the plastics and fiberglass or carbon fiber from the car and it's life AT BEST is 8-10yrs then a new battery is needed. a cost that is not going to drop anytime soon. Now as for running costs may be low but your purchase price is not the true reflection of the cars true cost to make it because of the gov rebate! (brand not withstanding)
So your in a car that has 20yrs of life so about 200thousand ks on the clock then dead due to cost to keep it running due to wear and tear low battery capacity Ect.
Now i drive a 2002 Landcruiser v8 second hand $16k to buy @100thou ks on it and with good maintenance will run up 300 thou more and be more recyclable. YES i hear you the fuel the oil.
but the oil can and is reused and very little of the car ends up in landfill now don't get my message wrong I am ALL in for green truly i am but Don't call it green until it IS green energy a paper Bag is actually greener than a electric car or wind or solar.

Amazing video, good work!

Hydro electricity
The Frozen technology
An open letter to the world
By Simon Bowman
Australia
Since the beginning the growth of hydro science has been slow and we have made very little forward movement in the past 40 years.
The ideas that might make it leap forward with more efficient use of the water are stifled by education being thought of as immovable .
What was wrong yesterday will be wrong forever and new tech can't get around a problem.

This is not a problem solving mind set

Australia has forced many an idea to leave this country to grow
just because we have an issue with new ideas

A classic example was Metal Storm a new type of fire arm that had no magazine and no brass cartridges to hold the propellent.
all the bullets are held in the barrel and with this configuration the barrels can be stacked this gives it a rate of fire unmatched anywhere
It had to leave Australia to become a product or stay and die.

This I fear is the same story about to happen with the hydroelectric field
For the past two years RDP Marine Australia has been working on a system that can be retro fitted to all dams with tailraces longer than the turbine hall needs so it has to deal with a backpressure higher than is ideal creating a loss that can now be recovered

At this point it should also be noted that the inventor asks where is it written that water storage dams can’t make hydro power to ?

So is this inventor saying “This is the answer to all ur power needs?”

No of course not but like all good things it is a part of a solution it will fill the gap for base load green power
Lets not forget at the location where these units will be fitted has most of the infrastructure already in place to build the system

NOW TO THE ISSUES
There are three main issues right of the top that are the most commonly raised as why it will not happen
So lets stomp on them straight off

1, fit an item into the tailrace and backpressure will rise in the turbines
No this is not true as a this system if done right it can be fitted to be like a tuned exhaust for a car

2, There will be to little back pressure so RPM will not be constant
Again No if the system is correctly fitted this to is a dead issue

3, Dissolved gasses that are held in suspension
This is a minor issue and most chief engineers are well capable to work with this

4, NOW this one can be a deal-breaker it is to do with a what if question.
So what if the new set of turbines go down or just one ?
Well if one or all freeze up the main turbine hall will be unaffected and no issues flowing up hill
These four issues are the most common reasons I am told No

It is this closed thinking (knee jerk response) to a new idea from the same family of being blinded by their education that stifles the industry moving forward

The one question I have no answer to is time
How long to install?

How long to service the new turbines?
To service time i still don't know but the system is set to allow a swap out setup so actual down time for that turbine slot is less than two hours and the rest of the system remains running during the swap

How much will it cost?
I can guess only the price but the price is not so high as to be to costly

Whats its life span?
Well with servicing I can see it giving service for the life of the dam

NOW the big question Money!!
this is a fluid issue shall we say the rate changes and i have stated previously money values but the income is in two parts the improved tailrace efficiency and the second bank of turbines should be close to 10% extra income

The one main issue I find so wrong is the time line needed from this point to the world seeing a working unit.
The tech is there to make it
The skills are available to hire
The market is in need of this item

But the price will rise with demand as the population is getting bigger but the book keepers are happy to see it remain as a rare item with a limited output that pushes up the price

The first adopters have always been the biggest winners I wonder in this area if it will be the big four or will a player from left field run on and wipe the floor with the rest standing with their hands in their pockets confused as to what just happened

Well, I hope this has given you food for thought and made you pause your thinking and look into what I have said I do not expect you to just except what I have stated as fact nor do I know it all so I can learn a new thing to.

Please pass this around let the open minded look it over and pass judgment after all the driver in the end is the need and the ability to see what is needed down the road is the saving grace of the human species to plan ahead

If you think i have missed a point or you have questions please comment i will respond well within 24hr and as i have said many times i don't know it all and you never stop learning

but all thee ecomentalists say dams are bad.

Global warming has nothing to do with auto exhaust or emissions. There has been a substantial rise in seismic and volcanic activity over the last hundred years especially in the oceans. This has increased the temperature of the land, the sea, and the air. The earth's climate is most likely changing back to what it was 2,000 years ago when it was much warmer. When the Romans were in Britain (40BC-380AD) they grew citrus fruit in the north.

Helped me do my homework. Nice and clean animations.

Very good video

Thanks thanks

Very bad

RDP Marine Australia for the new multi stage turbine update systems

Perfect

Perfect

she dont say helo

I-

Nicely explained.

Mrs. Hovis brought me here

This is for school lol I hate school xD

Who is this and what are we doing

my mom made me

i watched this for school :\

My name is Sarah Williams, I never thought I will smile again, My husband left me with two kids for one year, All effort to bring him back failed I thought I'm not going to see him again not until I met a lady called Jesse who told me about a spell caster called Dr.uduebor She gave me his email address and mobile number and I contacted him and he assured me that within 48hours my husband will come back to me, In less than 48hours my husband came back started begging for forgiveness saying it is the devils work, so I'm still surprise till now about this miracle,i couldn't conceive but as soon as the spell was cast, I became pregnant and gave birth to my third child, if you need any assistance from him you can contact him via:email: ([email protected])
WhatsApp or call him now: +(2349044159370)

who else here for school

Hi from online class

Please improve in next videos.

bad

Why not build a fleet of islands of hydro turbines that have a cable back to the mainland.. Hook up a few engines that are powered from generated electricity and chase the storms???

Instead of dotting them around the coastline and pretending they are making a difference???

In fact why not build a windfarm/hydro turbine island out at sea where its not gonna bother anyone and chase the storms???

You could even cover the outside of the wind/hydro turbines with solar panels... There ya go... Loads of energy... Even when there are no storms and no wind its generating power...

My dad is a teacher so he made me watch this :\

Science Teacher anyone?

Nice

My teacher brought me here

Homework has been saved!

Thanks for the really helpful video. I couldn’t find anything as useful as this anywhere else! Thank you so much!

Gang gang

How are they upgraded then?

Dr. Stone brought me here.

Instructions from the Avasva site are perfect for beginners.

Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻

This really helps thx

I made it with Avasva solutions.
