Principle

A Pelton turbine is used to drive a generator to which a small light bulb is connected. If the flow velocity of the water hitting the paddle wheels of the turbine increases, the turbine rotates faster and so does the generator. In the experiment, the power of the incandescent lamp is measured at different flow velocities of the water.

Benefits

  • Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
  • Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
  • Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters
