Hydro-Flood Whirlpool Turbration

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Philippine archipelago is surrounded by most bodies of water making it prone to typhoons which can cause disastrous floods. The floods in most communities in the country are very slow to dissipate due to rapid industrialization, heavy rainfalls, or just the dumping of garbage inwaterways. The issue has been a concern for different groups of local authorities, so the researchers innovated a solution, the Hydro-Flood Whirlpool Turbration that helps the continuous flow of flood that could capture and can be used as energy.

METHODS

The said innovation of the Hydro-Flood Whirlpool Turbration has the concept of hydroelectric power of hydropower which the energy is created from flowing water such as a flood that can be captured and be turned to electricity that can be used in the household during calamities. It also created having a whirlpool-design which makes the water run faster than a typical drainage system.

RESULTS

The Hydro-Flood Whirlpool Turbration model performed its main function which is to help the continuous flow of water flood (water represents the flood on the miniature). Based on the analysis the researchers conducted, the speed of the dissipation of water is about three times faster if there is an existence of the turbine-vibration (turbration) compared to the standard existing drainage system in every community using the miniature created. The prototype of the innovation generates capable of lighting a 3V bulb. The filter part of the innovation filtered about 70% of garbage (represented by small debris of trash) in water. The water available in the deep well coming from the reservoir is not 100% clean so it is not recommended for drinking, bathing and other direct contacts on a person's body.

DISCUSSIONS

The product created can helpful for future purposes specifically when the predicted abnormal change in temperature hits the earth. The project is highly recommended to be established in different communities specially to flood-prone areas where the flood level is critical. Placing the turbration which was based on the Basin Theory where the flood is usually stuck. It will be more useful if the mechanical part which generates energy and deep well will be included in this project.
