Hydraulic and Geothermic Energies?No-limits energy production for the future?? Hydraulic and Geothermic Energies are some of today main objectives for an eco-compatible energy development. Hydraulic Energy Energy is created by the water-cycle induced by solar radiation. Hydroelectric power plants make use of the potential energy of: a) water stored in large basins (natural or dam-contained) b) water flowing downstream between two different levels. ? Hydraulic Plants are classified according to: Elevation difference (water jump, H in m) Water Flow amount (Q in m?/s) System type (Usually installation using large flows and lower jumps are ?running water? type; those using limited water flows and medium or high jumps are ?reservoir? and ?pumping? types)

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
