Need: The current hydropower technology requires large investments in building dams and transmission grids and stops villages from receiving an electrical connection as 85% of electricity comes from hydropower.

Flaws in existing hydropower technology: The current technology for hydropower is expensive, requires large rivers and  takes up a lot of space. It also requires transmission grids to transmit the power.

Brief: Uses whirlpool action and hence is safe for fishes and other beings, resistant to small debris

# data[].attributes.body
They created the Turbine so that it was easier for them to provide electricity in a vast area. The already existing hydropower's are highly expensive, whereas, this invention was useful as well as affordable.
This is the stage of the design cycle where most of the research work gets done. Where the creators look for ideas and either try to improve what already exists, or try to create something immensely useful. This Turbine is not expensive, and takes up a little amount of space compared to other things.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring ad analysing:
The creators of the hydropower turbine would have had to first explain the need of the hydropower whirlpool turbine, why it is needed and what for. Then they would have to inquire and research about the specifications and needs that have to be fulfilled by the turbines before creating them. Next they would have to analyse the existing products and se how they could make their product unique for example this turbine does not harm the environment, fishes are able to pass through and no species are hurt unlike the other existing similar products.
And lastly before moving on to developing the idea they would have to create a design brief or a brief plan/summary of your idea for your product. This is what I feel they might have done in the process of Criterion A which is Inquiring and Analysing.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing:The current hydropower technology requires many aspects, and it is normally not friendly with animals. This new technology is nature friendly and easy to put and access. It can provide electricity to 60 houses per turbine. And it has also been tested in Chile and has been doing very well. The mechanism is not complicated so finding someone yo do the job won't be a problem. The Vortex Turbine generates power 24/7.

# data[].attributes.body
In this stage of making the whirlpool turbine the creators probably did most of their research. For example how the turbine work or what the current of the water is. This way when the start getting new ideas they know if it will work or not. They also probably asked lot of questions and did lots of tests before making the final model. A few examples of question relating to this topic are: How does the turbine work? How much electricity can it generate? Why did this not work? They makers would also search for similar products on the market so they can make theirs more cost efficient, easier to install, more useful etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing: The Whirlpool Turbine

The whirlpool turbine is a creative and innovative way to provide underprivileged places with a stable source of enegry. The fact that the turbine is not harmful to the environment only increases it's benefits. There are little to no drawbacks of installing one of these in villages, and also that the turbine is very cheap.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and analysing:
There were many problems that could be noticed with the dams that are built to supply hydro power, seeing this, the creators of this have tried to fix the problems that had been created by the dams, such as they were not animal friendly or the power created was to expensive for most of the local villages, this is a great solution as it addresses many of those issues and it is easy to make, as in the video it said that it can be made from unskilled workers.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing: This was needed for rural communities all over the world, so that they could get electricity. The turbine is from a company from Spain (country of Spain on the website)and it's fish-friendly. A self cleaning area can avoid large debris form entering it. The fish are not harmed in the different machines. The different products it's made from are a concrete basin (for the flow to get guided), a self cleaning screen and there is also a specially designed impeller. People in the company would make a design of the turbulent at the start and will discuss how it can be made (the turbulent).

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing-
they had found a problem on the fact that electricity is really little, and they designed a turbine that spines from the force of water flow and that makes it get in a lot of energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring & Analysing - The turbine is needed in places where there isn't much energy provided. In Chile, electricity is to a smaller extent and so the turbine was formed to let the water pass through and fish too which would be unharmed.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing-
The purpose of starting this project was to provide electricity in rural communities as stated in the video that this project has helped power 60 houses. Furthermore, they had to look at the pros and cons of other existing products like dams so that they know what can help their product to be more efficient. Another part of this is to design their plan briefly and create a outline.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing:
The purpose of creating this hydropower turbulent was to help rural people and communities get a fair amount of electricity and water. The turbulent is eco and fish friendly, so it causes no harm to the fish in that specific water body. The idea of creating the turbine is very ethical and creates energy in every flow. It comprises of concrete-basin which will make it last for roughly 100 years.

# data[].attributes.body
The turbine requires just a small height gap in a river or canal. On the banks of this river/canal, the soil is excavated and the machinery installed. The remaining space is filled and the walls of the river or canal are opened to allow water in.Using a vortex generator will make it nature friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and analysing
The first thing they did would be to define the purpose of this product which was to supply water and power to the community. They had To also find a place which thins product would fit best work and which place it would supply the most for. One of this last steps for inquiring and analysing would be to start designing a brief plan on it.

# data[].attributes.body
The riverbank is dug up. The concrete walls are installed by unskilled labourers. The Remaining space is refilled and banks are opened to start water flow

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas:
The creators of the hydropower turbine would first have to develop design specification, specifications for their product. Then they would have to create and develop a design and then present the final design. Lastly I think while working on criterion B they would have had to develop diagrams, plans, pictures, sketches etc. This is what I feel they might have done in the process of Criterion B which is Developing Ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas: The turbine requires just a small height gap in a river or canal. On the banks of this river or canal, the soil is removed and the technology is installed. The remaining space is filled with the soil and the walls of the river or canal are opened to allow water in. The turbine also needs the specific tools to make sure that the turbine will not harm any animals, especially marine life.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating A Solution: On the banks of this river or canal, the soil will be removed and the technology will be installed. The remaining space is going to be filled with the soil and the walls of the river or canal are going to be to allow water in. The turbine will also have the specific tools to make sure that the turbine will not harm any animals, especially marine life. The process of installing the machinery will not be a problem as it is very basic and it will not harm any of its surroundings. (pipe lines, flow of water, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
Developing ideas-
they thought of ways to fit the turbine and get a perfect conversion of the energy even if the current is slower. then they made a simulation of their idea and plan. then they can start planning their materials gathering them and looking for a good time to start the project.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing ideas:
To make this they probably had to take inspiration from the dams, to innovate it, they would have to see all the problems that come with dams and they would try to solve them, first one is it is not eco friendly, for this they kept the pressure of the product low so fish could pass through. The second one was dams are expensive and the people in the rural areas could not afford the power made from them. There are many other problems with the dam that they have solved but these were just a few things they had to change to come up with the product.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating: The turbine has been very successful. The test in Chile showed amazing results providing over 60 houses with power 24/7 per turbine. The project hopes to install more of these turbines especially in rural areas where it is most needed. Soon they hope to expand so that they can eradicate the use of limited resources like fossil fuels. The turbine was easy to place, worked and functioned well so the project was a huge success.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas-
In this step, they would firstly need to create a checklist which will include all their steps and that will lead to them thinking of design ideas. For example they have to look at the requirement but in this case they needed very less resources which can fit in most places. One of the parts is the plan/design which is detailed and shows hot the system works and its benefits too like it is eco-friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas: In this stage the creators probably started checking the market for the items they need or they could start developing a design. They also might have gone to many locations to find out more about the landscape.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas:
The Whirlpool Turbine

The way the whirlpool turbine has been created is quite unique compared to other hydropower generators. The way they probably made the initial design is by making sure of the criteria. They need it to not harm the environment, it has to be cheap, and it has to be able to power a good amount.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this turbine has helped a lot to the people living in the rural areas because it is really hard fro them to get energy as it is so expensive but this is a really creative idea made and I think this is really creative.This is super eco-friendly and does not harm the world. It actually makes the life of the people living in the rural areas much more easier because of how hard it was for them to get energy.

# data[].attributes.body
creating a solution-
They will go to the location and start planning out who is doing what and work in order, first they will dig out some space and flatten the mud out. then they will prepare the cement for the indentation, and all the mechanics, then add in the turbine and connections through the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
In this stage they will actually make and fix the turbines. For example they said a part of their process was the excavate the ground and fix the machinery and then put the soil back. This is all a part of creating the solution. By the end of this step they should have the turbine installed.

# data[].attributes.body
In the last stage the creators will evaluate what the have built to make it better next time. For example how to make it more cost efficient or how to install it with a low amount of destruction to the surroundings. After reflecting on their creation they go back to step one where they take all that they have learned and plan out a new, better design.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing: There was a need for generating renewable energy in an eco-friendly and cost effective way to benefit rural areas (in particular) the most, however in the future, where a large amount of rural areas have this turbine installed, it not only affects only themselves anymore but contributes to the well-being of our planet. While researching to develop certain ideas for the product, the following categories, according to me were probably most important (in relation with the company and the product): 1. Does anything like this exist yet? 2. Who is this turbine for? 3. Can it be made cost-effective and easy-to-build in rural areas? According to me the ones mentioned above were probably the most important. I'm not saying that they were the ONLY research questions, just most significant.

# data[].attributes.body
The turbine was created in such a way that requires just a small, yet noticeable height gap in a river or canal. The construction of the turbine was made to be simple, hence possible to be constructed in rural areas by 'unskilled' or uncertified workers.The design was made to be fish-safe which means that it does not harm any fish in the respective water bodies. The entrepreneurs that created this turbine had to think of the various features, such as mentioned above, and how they could implement each one into a simple design.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the designs developed, the creators most probably constructed a detailed plan on how to implement the chosen design. Then followed the pan to actually create the product in a rural area, tested it out and saw if there were any flaws or changes needed to be made a proceeded accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
The creators judged, through objective and subjective design testing methods, evaluated the overall success and impacts of the product as justified and explained how the solution (turbine) improved . throughout.

# data[].attributes.body
They must have evaluated the product using the promotion videos and the effectivity of the test run.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing ideas
This is a really useful design 1 because it does not take up a colossal amount of space. It takes up a very small amount, yet does wonders. This is the stage where the person responsible for creating the design started to brainstorm ideas. He or she commenced to think about the parts they want to use, the benefits and things that might not work out as well as expected.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas:
The turbine has been built in such a way that it doesn't occupy a lot of space. This is the aspect where people are supposed to figure out and observe what needs to be modified. Simulations have been created as well for observations. These simulations help in elaborating on what needs to be more improvised.

# data[].attributes.body
They will wait for a few weeks and see what is the progress of the turbulent and then see if they want to finalise the product or discard it.

# data[].attributes.body
developing ideas
during this step they will have to create a checklist with all the ideas they have in mind and what materials they would need. the second part of this would be to come up with more ideas about the design that they have chosen and how they can improvise the product in various places. they would also have to show and convince the society that this product will work and benefit they in various ways. the final part of this step would mostly be to to start creating diagrams and rough sketches on how they want it to be build in that particular location.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas - The creators of the hydropower turbine must have researched about how to build it and where to get the resources from. They must definitely thought about how to fit it in and the space needed to build the hydropower turbine there. I think that this is a fabulous and helpful idea because the spinning turbine creates electricity and also allows fishes to pass through easily without any harm.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas- At this point they would have had to see what size turbine they would have to use for it to fit and they have made it pretty small even though it works really well. I think as this stage they looked for the size they need to fill in for the turbine to work because if the turbine is too big then that will be a problem. They have to start making the design by using a type of software where they can make the design and see how it will work.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating solution

This is the stage where they probably started working on the actual designs. Like they started making templates and sketches and maybe a rough model of their final product or how they imagine it to look like. This is also the stage where the start to gather the materials and start to put together the actual product.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating a solution:
Making it was easier after they had come up with a plan to make it and how it is going to help villages around it get power. As the video said, this can also be put together from unskilled workers, telling us that people in these villages could make the product themselves. So this is where they would have to start building the pieces of the turbulent. First, they would have to dig a significant hole next to a river/lake. (Suggesting all the pieces are already built) Then they would have to piece the turbulent together, when it is known that it is functional, they can allow the water to enter the chamber and then eventually, energy is created by the force of the water.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating the solution:
The creators of the hydropower turbine would first have to construct a plan which is logical, basically construct a logical plan and then move on to the technical part, and demonstrating technical skills. Next they would have to follow the plan they have made to create their solution which is their product. And lastly they would have to mention and justify the changes they made to their product in order to make it more efficient, what they changed and why. This is what I feel they might have done in the process of Criterion C which is Creating the solution.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluation

This is the last stage of the design cycle where the creators of the product have to evaluate what they have made. They go around getting feedback from people that have tested their product and evaluate the failure or the success of the finally developed product.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing Ideas: The mechanical specification of the Turbulent is; Dry Weight - 700 KG excluding basin, with a height of 1.5 to 3 m with a cascade of turbines, optimized basin with diameter - 3.8 m to 6 m for 100KW. There is also a concrete basin with a design of 100 years, a self cleaning trash rack (for larger debris)and flow control. It's a waterproof generator with a double barrier. The ideas and features the Turbine has are quite great. It's fish friendly, no flood risk, turn key and mobile and low maintanence.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating:
The creators of the hydropower turbine would first have to design methods to test their solution and product, then they would have to evaluate the success of the product which in this case is the hydropower turbine. Next they would have to explain how the product was improved. And lastly they would have to explain how the product is important and the impact of the product. This is what I feel they might have done in the process of Criterion D which is Evaluating

# data[].attributes.body
Creating Solution- This is the part where they will start making the product(after the design is made digitally). You have to first dig a big enough hole for the turbine to fit in and then the concrete is installed by the people living in the rural area as the video said the labourers can install the cement and then when there is some remaning spot you can fill it back with soil. After they know that it is functional they will open the chamber thing and let the water flow and that will provide the rural people energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating the Solution:
This is generally where the building process starts. People will go to a place where the hydropower turbulent needs to be installed (near a water body). They will first dig out the space where the turbine will be placed. The altitude will be 1.5 meters deep. Once the digging process has been completely, builders will start to assemble to parts. After the turbine has been made, water will start to flow and energy would be created by the force of water.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating:
I would say the invention was a success because it helped many villages with their problems with the power they had. There are no major issues with the turbulent, one that I have seen is it needs to have a 1.5 meters difference in the upstream height and downstream and a flow of higher than 1000 litres per second. For these problems, they are coming up with another kind of product that can work with the different types of waterbodies.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating the solution: Now since they have discussed and thought about building the hydropower turbine, they would next make a chart or plan on how to construct the turbine. Once this is finished, they would start building the turbine in underprivileged places where electricity is tremendously needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating the solution: In this stage they have to construct a plan which is well though out and then focus on the technical skills. This leads to the step where they would start building the hydropower turbine. Lastly, they have explain the changes they made to their plan to make it more effective.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating- According t me this turbine is a really good idea because of how eco-friendly it is for example any sea animals cant get harmed by this like fishes. This is ot really hard to make and even the labourers can make it work and it is a great product.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating:
The hydropower turbulent has successfully been made. It was first tested in the country of Chile. The Turbine provides energy 24/7, every rotation. This is a major success and has completely benefited the daily lives of people living in rural communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluating-
In this step, the main focus is to reflect back and see if the product is successful or not. As we can see that their product was a success as it has helped a lot of people and is eco friendly,cost effective, no flood risk etc. Even though it is successful, they can still improve it as everything can become better than it already is. They can also take reviews from people who have used it.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating The Solution:
The Whirlpool Turbine

The design of the turbine is extremely thoughtful, because it is completely eco-friendly. To make something completely eco-friendly is no easy task. They created multiple criteria to ensure maximum efficiency for this project. Some of them are low maintenance, fish friendly, no flood risk, and high durability.

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria C - At this time they would construct a plan on how the turbine would be put in and basically would construct and discuss a rational plan for the turbine. Also, how much it will be dug up and the important materials. They would work on the technological skills too, for example how the self cleaning trash rack. Then they would make the main solution on carrying electricity to small towns/villages and will explain if anything needs to be changed.

# data[].attributes.body
The turbulent would have been tested in this last stage. They would test hoe the turbulent works and promote it in ways like make videos and photos of it and promote it on their website or as an advertisement. Then they could also see if it turns out to be successful. They could see and ask people about changes that can be made. Finally, the turbulent would impact many people for electricity and as it is fish friendly, even the fish will not be harmed. It will be better for small towns/villages to get more electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
The first stage of the Design Cycle is Inquiring and analysing. In this step, for the Turbulent Company, I would have to look at many different aspects. Firstly, I would need to know and justify the need for this project. The need for this project is so that villagers are able to use electricity from hydro-energy received from the Turbulent Company project. The research I would have done for this company would include the location, the materials required, the villagers’ population, the people and other things as well. Then, I would need to look at existing products. I would have to think about how my product, the company is different than any other product, and why people would choose mine over others, and principally the reason why my product is unique and better. The last step of inquiring and analysing is developing a brief, in which I would look at what exactly I want to create and make a brief idea/explanation.

# data[].attributes.body
People living in small villages and rural areas require electricity, that is both eco-friendly, as well as cost-effective. These turbines use hydro-power to provide electricity to around 60 houses in rural areas. They are innovative as they allow fishes and the eco-system of the area that they are in to be unharmed and not affected by the turbines. It also takes less space, and can easily be attached, as said in the video by "unskilled workers." These turbines are also easy maintenance as they only have one part that is in constant motion. The turbines also require less space, as compared to other hydro-power sources like dams. This is because they just require a small area near a flowing water source, and can easily be placed there, with minimal affect on the eco-system in that area. Similar products that use hydro-energy are not as cost-effective or easy to maintain.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing:
The first criteria/part of the design cycle that the Turbine company would have to follow when creating a product to solve their issue, would be to identify the issue. The current issue being that the existing Dams/products are way too expensive, large, and require a lot of maintenance to be placed in the smaller villages/areas that need to receive electricity. After analysing this issue they would have to look at the other strands that come with creating such a product, such as making sure that the fish are not able to enter the turbine, it is easy to build and not to expensive and more...

# data[].attributes.body
The company would first think of why they need a product that solves the problem that they're solving. They should also research on if they have any competitors and develop a design brief

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria A being Inquiring and Analysing being a designer part of the turbulent team there would be multiple topics you would have to look into before making the machine and also before installing it. You would have to look into topics like the landscape around the water body because you need to see if it would be okay to install that machine there since you need to check is there is already another machine or system in place there. Another thing you would have to look into would be the population of the village since you would have to see how many of the turbulence machines you should install depending on the amount of people living there. Lastly I think that another thing that you would have to check would be the type of people living there for the maintenance of the system. Though it is very low maintenance and unskilled people can work on the project too, but you would have to make sure that they have some kind of knowledge about such mechanisms and if not then teach them.

# data[].attributes.body
There was a need for electricity. People need electricity mainly at night. The design would need to not be harmful to the fishes or living creatures in the waters and would need to be portable, affordable and easy to maintain. It also shouldn't be very big as it could be harm full to the people and nature.

# data[].attributes.body
inquring and analysing is the frist stage of the dei

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and analysing -

I think that the people who designed the solution would have thought about what are the positives and negative of the dams that we use today. They designers of this tried to remove the negative of the dams. Few of the negative were the cost, friendly to the environment and more. The cost of a dam is very huge. It also takes a lot of money to maintain the the dam. While designing they thought about the cost that the village could afford. The dams are not environmentally friendly. The dams used to kill the fish and they could have been a danger to the cities that live near it. If the dam over flows it can destroy the cites.

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria A Inquiring and Analysing:

The designing team would have to first identify the problem in this case it would be, dams being harmful to the environment even though they make electricity. The other problem is they are very expensive to make and require lots of skill to make them.

# data[].attributes.body
In Inquiring and Analysing i would think of what my problem that i have to solve in this that the villagers have

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analyzing
They would've identified the problem at first, in this case the problem was the cost and the effect on nature which I think are the biggest problems. Later they started researching and identifying the problem along with possible solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
inquiry and analysis
first we identify a problem, which is getting power into rural villages, we identify our requirements, such as a price consideration, instalment process

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria A- In the first stage, inquiring and analysing, the most prior and crucial thing needed to do would be to depict the problem. In this case, this problem would be the lack of electricity in the village homes, After doing this, another important thing would be to extend and evaluate the problem to create an exact goal for your product or solution to solve. Then in this case, the next thing to do would be to brainstorm ideas on how to generate/provide electricity to these homes. While doing this, it has to be kept in mind which one of these ideas would provide the most energy, which one would be eco-friendly, and use the least space and power, animal-friendly, etc. Using a checklist such as this, cut down on options and find one final idea. Do some research and see if the idea is reasonable and realistic to create your product in the given situation you are in.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and analysing:

The first step the builders took was identify the problem that has taken place. In this case the problem was that the villagers needed electricity and a convenient way to get it would have been building a dam which is very expensive, it costs a lot of money and it could lead to put a lot of peoples life in danger. They kept in mind all of the factors that could harm the surrounding and the people.

# data[].attributes.body
The designers of the product had to identify and analyse the situation of there not being enough electricity and the water flow being disrupted by natural and manmade barriers.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first step which is inquiring and analysing helps me think of how to develop a product which in this case is a dam. I have to find out the benefits and disadvantages of bulding a dam. I will try to solve the disadvantages and keep the advantages in mind as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The company would create many prototypes for tgeur s

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analysing: I need to make an innovative and helpful product that can benifit the poor and in that case it will be a Dam. I need to keep in mind the advantages and the disadvantages. I am going to try my best to not have any disadvantages. I want to help the society in many different ways and so I need to think of something that is benifical, long lasting and proper. By making a dam, I can supply electricity to the poor/villages. I can help them get light and fullfill at least some important things that are useful. The damn which I make should be very organised and controlable. I need to make a strong dam, I need to make sure that it takes very less space and does not damage the environment, By putting the machine I also need to keep in mind the lives of sea animals and so that they don't get harmed I need to make the machine properly and carefully, I need to also keep in mind that it is not destroying nature and also if I am making it then it should cause any damage in future. I also feel the cost should be negotiated so that the villagers can afford the machine. So to do all this the machine has to be superior and checked multiple times. The designers should keep all of these factors in mind. By making this dam we can provide the villagers with electricity and maybe help them many other different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria B Developing Ideas

The company would have to think about all the variables that their product would have to deal with such as, it easy enough to make even if you are not a professional, fish friendly, not at a very high cost, low maintenance as there is only one moving part being the turbine, can efficiently make stable electricity at a high quantity and they have to plan a simple design for the side channel in which the turbine will sit in.

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria C Creating the Solution

Dig up the river bank and fill in the the concrete plan after which you would install the turbine. fill in the rest of the space that was not used by the cement canal with the dirt that was dug out. let the water flow through to the canal.

# data[].attributes.body
Criteria D Evaluating

The test in Chile showed that it can provide power to 60 homes 24/7 as the river is always flowing. Since the turbine is natural it means it has low pressure which means the fish can pass through the turbines easily and safely. Soon the company hopes that they can spread the design across world and most rural areas will have one.

# data[].attributes.body
Now after doing the research for the specifics you would have to start making prototypes or start sketching ideas. Sometimes you also might have to change parts of your machine to suit the situation/condition where it is supposed to be used and basically customise according to the needs of the place. They would also have to take the environmental situation there into account as if they are using water bodies with fish or maybe trash in it, it should tamper with the machine's functions. Finally you might also have to change it a bit to make sure that it is always giving constant energy maybe even at a higher rate which would again depend on the population and basically how many houses there are.

# data[].attributes.body
We can see that this machine was successful after it was used in Chile. Because we saw that only one of our machines was able to provide electricity to 60 houses 24/7. It also shows how the fish are able to pass through the machine safely because of the low power and whirlpool like mechanism. Also how even if there is debris flowing through the water it isn't impacting the functioning of the machine which is another sign of the machine we made being successful.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Dig up some of the area beside the canal/water body.
2. Install the concrete walls and the turbine.
3. Fill the rest of the empty space with dirt and let the water start flowing through the canal.

# data[].attributes.body
Inquiring and Analyzing Stage - During Criteria A, I think I would start by analyzing a need and then creating a design brief according to my need. I would do so by doing a survey in the rural area and ask them what is the main problem they are facing. In this case, the need was to fabricating energy for the rural village since there was no electricity. I would also keep in mind the cost and harm to environment. I would also decide to carry on some extra research so that creating my design specifications would be easy. My extra research would answer questions such as how I can make my product sustainable?, how I can make it cost efficient? Is it easy to build? etc. I would then analyze existing products in the market so that I can make my product the most efficient/sustainable. Furthermore, I would then decide to create a design brief. My design brief would state that I would create a design using the whirl pools motion to create energy which would be safe for fish and resistant to debris.

Developing ideas -

the designer of this tried to eliminate the. The thought about every problem and looked for a better solution.

This turbine was made in a way that it does not require too much space near a moving water body. It was also made in such a way that it could be assembled easily and had a simple design. This is useful as this turbine can be constructed in rural areas by “unskilled” workers, with ease. It is also designed to be safe for the environment/ecosystem of the water body, as fish are not harmed by these turbines. Since the turbines have been designed well, and have many different features, we can infer that the designers of this product had developed detailed design ideas and specifications, and have probably created diagrams or models to make sure that their product works well.

After designing the product, the creators would probably construct a detailed plan on how they can execute their design. After this they would follow the plan and make turbines in a rural area. The plan would include digging a hole near a flowing water (such as a river or a canal), then they would attach the turbines, and then test out the turbine by allowing water into that area. After executing the plan, they would scrutinise the product and see if they can improve on it in any way.

After the product has been attached to a flowing water body (like a river or a canal), the creators would judge the product, and evaluate its success. After watching the video, we can understand that the product was, in fact a success, and it worked well. This is because it could work 24/7, thus providing electricity to 60 houses, at all times. We also saw that the product was cost-effective, and safe for fish and other animals in the ecosystem of the water body. It also worked well even when small pieces of debris or mud came in the turbines, showing us how useful and efficient it is. If I was the creator of the product, I would also take feedback from people in the rural areas, and see if I could improve the product in any way.

Developing Ideas
This is the stage where they would've started making drafts and communicating all of their ideas. They should start coming up with the best solution as they have identified the problem now they have to just combine all ideas to make the best solution. In this case the best idea was the turbine.

Creating the Solution
This is the stage where they start creating the turbine and making the full final product. After making the product they dig a little next to the water, make the walls and install the turbine.

Evaluating
They installed the turbine in a village, the unskilled workers installed it on their own which means that so far it was successful, it was functional and it lit up 60 houses in the village.

Developing Ideas:

While they are on this step they must make a note of all the things that could go wrong and that could end up leaving a long term impact on the living conditions of the people. After recognising all the problems they should think about the materials and the teams they will be needing in order to fit in the product. In order to make the next step successful they can make sketches of what the product will end up looking like

# data[].attributes.body
While make the solution the designers though about the negative of the dams and tried to make it better. They looked at the costs of maintenance, the looked at how they could make it environmentally friendly, they also looked at the structure so even an unskilled person can make this.

# data[].attributes.body
The designer of this product tried to make it environmentally friendly, easy o install, less cost for maintenance. This design is very good because it is the best alternative for a dam

# data[].attributes.body
Up till now the turbine have been very successful. It has matched all the needs of the people who need electricity in rural areas. They looked at the costs of maintenance, the looked at how they could make it environmentally friendly, they also looked at the structure so even an unskilled person can make this.

the current technology for hydropower is too large and expensive for rural areas without access to electricity. This means that they are to expensive for them to afford.

# data[].attributes.body
In Inquiring and Analysing i would think of what my problem that i have to solve. In this situation i would be that the villagers have no source of electricity. Then I can see the already existing product that are there in the market and how that could help in my product. Then I can start having a basic out line of what the product might be.

# data[].attributes.body
First thing in the Developing Ideas part that i would do is make some specifications to my product and elaborate on the brief idea. Then Start seeing ways of how to make it in a price that villagers can pay for. For example there can only be one turbine you do not need 2 so things like that that can make your product better. After I have Chosen one main design for the hydro electric machine i put it in a real life situation. Then Comes the most important part it that i must sketch the idea out so that then everyone has a good view of what my product is.
