Dear bloggers,

WELCOME TO OUR PHYSICS BLOG!!

We are a group of students from Nanyang Girls' High School,Singapore, currently embarking on a research project on hydroelectrical energy. This is where we will be assessing, analyzing and displaying the results and research we have collected.


Rationale of our project:
1) study and identify the physics behind hydro-electric power:
i) Energy conversion involved in the production of the hydro-electric power
a)The best and most suitable conditions needed i.e. the pressure of the water, height which

the water falls, the speed of the water to attain the highest energy.
b)How the turbine converts the energy
c)How are the dams and the turbines constructed
d)Different types of hydroelectric power used in different parts of the world
e)Is the energy produced by the hydro-electric power affected by external factors like the

altitude or the climate
2)To study how the hydro-electric power saves the earth:
a)impacts of the hydro-electric power
b)how it benefits the environment;
c)in contrast, in what way will it harm the earth
d)how and where it hydro-electric power used in other countries

is Singapore suitable to use hydro-electric power to do our part in saving the earth
e)how can we modify the hydro-electric energy system to make sure that it has the highest
efficiency i.e. can convert the most power, and at the same time have the minimal impact
on the earth.

Rationale of creating a Physics Blog:
1) that's part of the marking scheme
2) More importantly, it is to inform more people, not only Singaporeans, all the people in the world about Hydroelectric power:
i) its advantages
ii) its uses
iii) how it hydroelectric power contributes to the creation of a more eco-friendly earth.

Therefore, do not hesitate to spread to your loved ones about this blog, and share the information on hydroelectric power.
