Innovation day!

Hello Besties!!!

Now I know what your thinking, not another science post! So I’m saying right back YES ANOTHER SCIENCE POST!!!

Here is a photo!
And the best part is that the lights really light up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A water turbine is used to convert the energy contained in water, potential energy, or kinetic energy into mechanical or electrical energy. There are two types of water turbines, the reaction water turbine, and the impulse water turbine. The most significant difference between an impulse turbine and a reaction turbine is that the impulse turbine uses only the kinetic energy of water to rotate its runner, while the reaction turbine uses both the pressure and kinetic energy of water to spin the turbine. A reaction turbine generates power from the combined forces of pressure and moving water. A runner is placed directly in the water stream, allowing water to flow over the blades rather than hitting each individually. An impulse turbine generally uses the velocity of the water to move the runner and discharges at atmospheric pressure. A water stream hits each bucket on the runner. With no suction on the downside of the turbine, the water flows out the bottom of the turbine housing after hitting the runner. Potential energy means that the water flow has the potential of doing something. kinetic energy is the moving energy. The reaction water turbine is sealed whereas the impulse turbine is not.
