Water Wheel

Pelton

Propeller

Many different kinds of turbines

Bigger and BIGGER..

Then they built dams

inside the dam wall

and put the water wheel

using the force of the water flow,

But: dams cause problems

so, they put the turbines

next to the river

and use coal for steam from the river water

But: coal causes problems…

Now we have a situation…...

So they

cut trees

rivers

Next to…

And burnthem

Some collect

firewood….

causing

problems

homeless,hungry

So; from environmentally friendly

to this……….

Killing two million a year

Old technologies - not scalable

Newer Designs not always suitable

A Power Pontoon floats

No construction needed

The latest award winning idea

Improved water wheel

Small,

or BIG

Darkest Africa

By doing this

We can use this
