Hydroelectric generators have been a reliable source of renewable energy for years. However, large hydroelectric plants can be expensive to build and maintain, making them unsuitable for small-scale power production. In this project, we aim to create a small hydroelectric generator that can be used in rivers for small-scale power production. Our generator will be designed to harness the kinetic energy of flowing water and convert it into electrical energy. We will focus on creating a cost-effective and efficient design that utilizes 3D printing. Our goal is to provide a sustainable and reliable source of electricity for rural communities that lack access to traditional power grids.
