Description
This science fair project was performed to compare the efficiency of hydro-electric generated power and wind generated power. 

Instructions preview
1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is generating power by hydroelectric and wind turbine. The dependent variable is the amount of power generated. This is determined by measuring the voltage, ampere and calculating the power. The constants (control variables) are the load resistor, the dynamo used, the fan power and the water pump power. 2. To test for the rate of hydro power generation, the pail is placed inside the basin and both the pail and basin are filled with tap water as shown in figure 1 above. A small slot about the length of the .....
