alternative sources of energy
alternative sources of energy is a a research paper with illustrations and plans. What is hydro Power? Hydro Power is power that is derived from the force or energy of moving water, which may be harnessed to useful purposes. Prior to wide spread availability of commercial electric, hydropower was used for irrigation, and operation of various machines,, such as water mills, textile machines, sawmills, dock cranes and domestic lifts. Another method used a trompe, which produces compressed air from falling water, which could then be used to power other machinery at a distance from the water.

... topic to focus on. Some applications that could have been chosen for this report are: Photo Voltaic cells (solar energy), Wind energy (wind mills) and geo thermal energy which is energy obtained from the internal heat of the planet and can be used to generate steam to run a steam turbine.
Some of improvements that could be done to this experiment are:
• To have the student replicate its own version of the researched application.
• To demonstrate how the application can be operated by using Ladder logic.
