The purpose of this project was to provide a brief explanation of how hydroelectric dams function via physical demonstration. The demonstration was designed to appeal to adults and youth. The final product is a large, clear box comprised of two chambers. Water is added to the first chamber and allowed to flow into the second by passing through a turbine, which in turn generates electricity and powers a small lightbulb on the top of the box. The box provides a simplified cutaway view of how a real hydroelectric dam functions.
