Currently, fossil gasses are the primary pollutants that we produce. For this reason, it's important to learn about alternative methods that are aligned with the UN's goal of creating affordable and clean forms of energy. The goal is to comprehend the process of generating energy using water, achieved through the construction of a hydraulic generator. This generator operates by harnessing the kinetic energy present in the movement of water and converting it into electrical energy. The ultimate aim is to utilize this electrical energy to illuminate a cardboard house.
