Types of renewable energy - Hurumanu

Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy.

Section 1: Title Page

Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind, and Wave.

Section 2: Definitions

Define and provide a picture of each energy type.

Hydro Energy

Hydropower or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity. It is considered a renewable energy source because the water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun. Historically, one of the first uses of hydropower was for mechanical millings, such as grinding grains.

Solar Energy

the collection of eight planets and their moons in orbit around the sun, together with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.

Wind Energy

Wind power is sustainable and renewable energy and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. 

Wave Energy

This energy can be used to run turbines, and there are plenty of places where the winds are strong enough to produce a continuous wave motion.

Section 3; Investigate each of the 1 Energy Types.
(Hydro) 

1. Type: Hydro
2. Is it used in NZ? Yes in MacKenzie Basin
3. Other Countries that use it? Austria, Canada, Norway and many more
4. How is it used to generate electricity?
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.
