Generating Electricity from the Environment

The video discusses a school's efforts to achieve energy independence through solar panels and a hydro vortex turbine. The turbine, called the Vortex, generates energy from river water and operates continuously, unlike solar power. The hydro vortex technology involves a 50m tunnel that channels water to spin a turbine, which powers a generator connected to a battery bank. This system aims to make the school carbon positive, contributing energy back to the grid and benefiting the environment.

What is the primary goal of the school in terms of energy usage?

• To increase energy consumption

• To achieve total energy independence

• To rely solely on fossil fuels

• To reduce energy costs

What is the unique feature of the Vortex turbine compared to solar panels?

• It requires sunlight to operate

• It can operate only during the day

• It is less efficient than solar panels

• It functions both day and night under any weather conditions

How does the Vortex turbine generate energy?

• By using wind power

• By burning fossil fuels

• By channeling river water through a tunnel to spin the turbine

• By using geothermal energy

What connects the turbine to the battery bank?

• A solar panel

• A windmill

• A geothermal pump

• A generator

What is the environmental impact of the school's energy system?

• It has no impact on the environment

• It contributes positively to the environment and energy grid

• It increases carbon emissions

• It depletes natural resources
