Piston
Pump
Principle:
In
the 1st part of the cycle, the air inside the bottle is let out from the
top. In the 2nd part of Reciprocating action, low pressure inside sucks
the water inside the film roll bottle
Applications:
Regular reciprocating pumps work on the same principle.
Items
Required to make:
Empty film roll bottles (2 Nos.)
Cycle spoke
Pins
Sharp Tool to make holes and Fevibond
Straw
Fun
Facts to know:
Piston pumps are generally used for applications that require relatively
low flows and high pressures. These pumps are more likely to be used for
metering low flow rate fluids at more modest pressures in laboratories
and chemical process plants. Piston pumps are not generally
suitable for transferring toxic or explosive media.
.
Turbines
Principle:
A coil rotated in between the magnets causes potential difference : Application
of Electromagnetism principle
Applications:
Turbines / Rotors to generate electricity. Turbines are also used in Boilers
to generate electrcity.
Items
Required to make:
Plastic Bottle caps / empty film roll bottles
Empty Tin boxes
DC Motor
Multi meter
Scissors / Cutters
Fun Facts to know:
Using a regular DC motor and bottle caps cut turbines you can get a potential
difference of 0.4 volts. A device similar to a turbine but operating in
reverse is a compressor or pump. The axial compressor in many gas turbine
engines is a common example.
