Turbine Generator Manual 012-07732A Teacher's Guide Experiment 1: Results Sample Data Answers to Questions 1. Chemical energy in your muscles gave kinetic energy to water. The water slowed as it hit the turbine blades, giving kinetic energy to the turbine. The turbine spun the magnet, generating electrical energy in the coil. -

012-07732A Turbine Generator Manual Teacher's Guide Experiment 2: (Results) Sample Data Answers to Questions 1. Chemical energy in your muscles was transformed into potential energy of the compressed air in the soda bottle. Potential energy is also called "stored energy." The energy was stored in the soda bottle until the valve was released. -
Page 15: Troubleshooting
Turbine Generator Manual 012-07732A Troubleshooting Problem: The turbine does not move when I pump compressed air through it. Solution(s): a) Check to ensure that the fitting to the bottle cap and all fittings in the tubing are tight to prevent air leaks. If you have any air leaks, the system may not work. Gently touching the magnet with your little finger should be sufficient to rotate the turbine. - Page 16 012-07732A Turbine Generator Manual Notes...
