The system utilizes a bulb turbine housed within a nozzle-diffuser casing, designed for efficient underwater operation. Our prototype demonstrates the potential of harvesting useful energy from low-head flow conditions. It can also be adapted with other clean energy systems to further reduce carbon emissions and electricity costs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/AJ-tAl0FsMI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"youtube-video-thumbnail\" \/>\n\t<h3>Project Team<\/h3>\n<h4>Students:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ambrose Yew Hao Qiang (Mechanical Engineering, Class of 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Lim Rou Yi (Mechanical Engineering, Class of 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Muhammad Haikal (Mechanical Engineering, Class of 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Russell Daniel Yeo Wei Ming (Engineering Science, Class of 2024)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Supervisors:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Mr Eugene Ee (<a href=\"mailto:wheee@nus.edu.sg\">wheee@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Mr Keith Tan (<a href=\"mailto:keithtcy@nus.edu.sg\">keithtcy@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hydro energy harvesting using micro-turbine system The energy sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for roughly 70% annually.
