123 ROBOT EXPERIMENTS!
123 STEPS NEEDED TO BRING OUT THE GENIUS IN EVERY BASEMENT HOBBYIST!
If you enjoy tinkering in your workshop and have a fascination for robotics, youll have hours of fun working through the 123 experiments found in this innovative project book.
More than just an enjoyable way to spend time, these exciting experiments also provide a solid grounding in robotics, electronics, and programming. Each experiment builds on the skills acquired in those before it so you develop a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts understanding ofrobotics -- from the ground up.
123 Robotics Projects for the Evil Genius --
* Introduces you to robotics, electronics, and programming for robotics step-by-step -- you dont need to be a science whiz to get started, but you will be when you have finished

Engineeering Ebook: On how to develop a small hydro site

The objective of a hydro power scheme is to convert the potential energy of a mass of water, flowing in a stream with a certain fall (termed the “head”), into electric energy at the lower end of the scheme, where the powerhouse is located. The power of the scheme is proportional to the flow and to the head. Medium and high head schemes use weirs to divert water to the intake, from where it is conveyed to the turbines, via a pressure pipe or penstock. Penstocks are expensive and consequently this design is usually uneconomic. A small hydropower scheme cannot afford a large reservoir to operate the plant when it is most convenient; the cost of a relatively large dam and its hydraulic appurtenances would be too high to make it economically viable. But if the reservoir has already been built for other purposes – flood control, irrigation network, water abstraction for a big city, recreation area.
