Old Water-Wheel Contrasted to Modern Hydro-Electric Plant on Bank of a Miniature River
A model of a river bed, with miniature trees and the like placed along the banks to make a realistic effect, has been constructed as one of the many interesting exhibits at the annual engineering exhibition Friday and Saturday. An old style water wheel will be constructed at one end of the river. This will show exactly how the water operated in principal and how it is utilized. Further down stream will be seen a modern hydro-electric generating plant to contrast the new with the old-time power plant.
The over-ash water wheels are provided with a number of buckets fixed to their periphery in such a way that as the wheel revolves from left to right the buckets on the downcasing side have their tops upward, and being filled with water at or near the top of the wheel, exert a downward pull and impart a rotary tendency to the water. Other forms were massive structures often measured 20 feet in diameter, but the later tree are generally built of iron and are practically limited by construction to fall less than sixty feet in height. Water is admitted to the wheel by an over-fall sluice.
Announcements
In the modern hydro-electric method a great head of water is secured by building a dam across the river. Heads of water varying from T2 to 354 feet have been secured in this country by this method. Water is supplied to the turbines through large pennets through which the water is pumped and partially or entirely close the conduit. The wheels of the turbines are from five to seven feet in diameter with still larger sizes for extraordinary power. Perhaps the most powerful of these machines utilizing the power of Nigara Falls.
Another exhibit will be an apparatus to demonstrate how particles of sand progress along a river bottom. It will be shown how the sand forms in waves which gradually move downstream with the force of the current. The performance of river jetties and a sand machine is the machinery and apparatus in the laboratory will be running on the two days of the exposition.
The work is being done by Edward Martz, c27 and Stuart Haskard, c28, under the direction of Frank M. Dawson, professor of hydraulics.
