Principle
The efficiency attained in this experiment, only 2 % to 3 %, is
very low compared to that of pumps used in practice, which can
reach 20 % to 90 %. This difference is mainly due to the size of
the pump and, in particular and despite the small scale of it, the
fact that the robustness needed for the stability of the rotor is
attained at the cost of the performance.
The purpose of this experiment is to bring home the efficiency
calculation.
Benefits
- Experiment is part of a complete solution set with a total of 26 experiments for Renewable Energy solar cells, wind power, water power
- Safe experimentation: The fan in the blower is protected against touch
- The power supply used is versatile and is particularly suitable for pupil tests for all ages
