    Description

    The RE26 Hydropower system provides students with a self-contained modular system, covering all aspects of Hydropower generation.

    Included in the system are various components that allow students to not only experiment how key principles of hydrostatics and fluid dynamics affect hydropower systems but how different turbine types affect the overall system outputs.

    The self-contained RE26 provides comprehensive step by step manual taking students through every step, challenging them both practically and theoretically utilising key engineering mathematical principles, to support practical outcomes.
