Abstract

In today’s world, scientists and engineers are always looking for different ways to generate electricity and power, especially within the last couple of decades when there has been an increase in interest in sustainability. To this in mind, this paper works to see what kind of power can be generated using the flow of Houston bayous’ water as they provide constant flow of water in the city of Houston. Various types of generators needed for this purpose have been looked at. The power produced from the particular type of generator using in the Houston bayous is unique. Results of these findings are interesting for future research on alternate and renewable energy sources while also changing certain measurements with this device to see what can be found on the best conditions. This student work was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the class project in Modern Methods of Engineering Analysis course at the Engineering Technology (ET) department in the University of Houston – Downtown (UHD). Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported work where bayou water is used for power production which is an inexpensive way to produce power.
