1) Generating electrical energy with renewable resources like hydro-electric, wind, and magnetic force generators can help meet the increasing global electricity demand and provide energy to developing countries. 2) A prototype hydro-electric generator was designed that could generate an estimated 35,752.85 watts using a 4-foot tube diameter and 25% efficiency. 3) After evaluating options using a decision matrix, a hydro-electric generator was determined to be the most viable solution for the target areas due to factors like availability and cost.

- 1. Generating Electrical Energy with Renewable ResourcesBy: AakashBalajiSusmitSukthankarKevin Kubis
- 2. Electricity Consumption in The World TodaySince the 1990’s, The world’s total net energy consumption has almost doubled.On average, 16,378.62 billion kilowatts are generated hourly around the world.Electrical Energy has become one of the most important resources in our world today.
- 3. Developing Third World CountriesOvergrowing population is stressing the resources of their nations.They have an urgent need for clean, renewable, and cheap sources of energy. This will help prevent the contribution to greenhouse gases.The twomost populated countries in the world.
- 4. ResearchElectromagnetic InductionCalculating Energy Return P = ρhrgkP is Power in watts,ρ is the density of water (~1000 kg/m3),h is height in meters,r is flow rate in cubic meters per second,g is acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2,k is a coefficient of efficiency ranging from 0 to 1. Efficiency is often higher (that is, closer to 1) with larger and more modern turbines.ESTIMATED OUTPUT35, 752.85 watts of electricity with a tube diameter of 4 feet and .25 efficiencyElectromagnetic induction is the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field.Brainstorming Possible Energy SolutionsHydro-Electric GeneratorMagnetic Force GeneratorWind-Power Generator
