Hydropower
is
the
most
energy
efficient
power
generator.
Hydraulic
silo
the
nano
hydropower
plant
consists
of
a
water
tank
reservoir,
a
water
pump,
starter
(electric
motor),
and
hydraulic
turbine
where
the
process
of
energy
conversion
to
electricity
takes
place
and
of
course
a
generator.
The
first
step
in
the
generation
of
energy
is
to
fill
water
in
the
tank
(quarter
full)
open
the
gate
valve
switch
on
the
starter
for
the
water
pump
to
run.
The
energy
produced
by
the
water
pump
pressure
turning
the
blades
of
a
turbine.
The
turbine
is
connected
to
a
generator
that
converts
the
energy
into
electricity.
The
amount
of
electricity
a
system
can
produce
depends
on
the
pressure
of
water
passing
through
a
turbine.
For
the
constant
pressure
of
the
water
pump
is
the
work
of
belt,
pulley,
shaft,
&
gear
connected
to
turbine.
The
electric
motor
works
as
starter
just
to
run
the
water
pump,
the
pulley
will
take
over
to
power
the
water
pump
once
the
turbine
starts
turning.
The
good
thing
of
this
invention
is
that
the
water
will
not
be
wasted.
The
water
that
passes
through
the
water
pump
into
the
turbine
goes
back
to
the
water
tank
and
it
will
recycle
again.
These
systems
vary
in
size
and
application.
They
can
generate
and
produce
small
and
large
amount
of
electricity
power.
These
systems
can
be
used
and
are
ideal
for
powering
smaller
services
such
as
home,
processing
machines,
small
farms,
and
small
and
large
communities
and
cities.
Using
the
latest
technology,
this
system
can
also
be
used
to
power
the
hybrid
car.
Hydraulic
silo
has
a
distinct
advantage
over
energy
generator:
it
is
clean,
green,
and
renewable
and
does
not
subject
to
extremely
demanding
environmental
standards.
