Generating Electricity through Running Water Turbine with the Use of Non-Potable Water

Abstract

Hydropower is a renewable source of energy which is economical, non-polluting, and environmentally benign among all renewable sources of energy. Recent concern over global warning gives way to show public interest in renewable energy. In this study, the proponents used non-potable water to generate electricity by the use of a water turbine. Hydropower energy can be the most effective renewable source in the future. The research method of design utilized in this study is quantitative analysis. The participants of the study sampled 5 Science Experts and 10 Science Teachers of Bestlink College of the Philippines to test the significant differences on the level of acceptability of Improvised Water Turbine in terms of usability, effectiveness, efficiency, functionality, and stability using t-test at the level of significance of α= 0.01 and the degree of freedom of 13. The prominent finding of the study in terms of usability, effectiveness, efficiency, functionality, and stability are Very Highly Acceptable. There is no significant difference between the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the level of acceptability of Generating Electricity through Running Water Turbine with the Use of Non-Potable Water in terms of usability, effectiveness, efficiency, functionality, and stability. Both recommendations and suggestions of the two groups of respondents are necessary to improve the quality of hydropower generation. The result can be forwarded to improve the project such as providing the effectiveness of the product. Researchers must show measurements in terms of the materials used in the products. To show the stability of the product, researchers must show data and results for the respondents to agree with the indicators. To show its usability, researchers must try new or something different to sustain electricity aside from hydropower.
