            Introduction: 
        Mechanical energy from nature
              such as wind and water currents and waves can be converted to
              electrical energy. Mechanical energy will first be transmitted to
              an electric generator via shafts and gears. The electric generator
              will then produce electricity. |

         Project
        description: 
        In this project you will study
        different methods used to convert the mechanical energy to electrical
        energy. You may also study the factors that affect the efficiency of
        such conversions. You will also make an electric generator. |
