The year was 1876, America's centennial, and for most Americans, a time for looking backward with pride. For others like Thomas Edison it was a time to look forward to the possibilities that lay ahead. The electrical exhibits at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia marked the beginning of a productive new era of harnessing our imagination. 1876 was also the year that Thomas Alva Edison opened a laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, where he could explore the possibilities of the dynamo and other electrical devices that he had seen in the Exposition. Out of that laboratory was to come perhaps the greatest invention of the age - a successful incandescent electric lamp. By 1890, Edison established the Edison General Electric Company by bringing his various businesses together. During that period, a competitor emerged. The Thomson-Houston Company became a dominant electrical innovation company through a series of mergers led by Charles A. Coffin, a former shoe manufacturer from Ly...

Introduction:- Hydropower is energy extracted from moving water. However it is essentially another way of trapping the sun;s energy since it is the sun which drives the flow of water on the planet – the so called hydrologic cycle. The main water reservoirs are of course the oceans and the sun’s energy warms the ocean water and the degree of warming depends on location. The warmer the water, the greater the degree of evaporation and the higher the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere. This process has an enormous effect on the earth’s climate and for example is the main driving force behind hurricanes. As the water vapor laden air rises, it cools, the water condenses and clouds form. The clouds are blown onshore and over land. If conditions are right, perhaps as the air mass rises over a mountain range, the clouds cool sufficiently for the condensed water to reach the point where rain, or even snow is formed. This precipitation eventually makes its way back downhill to the oce...
