Hydro Turbine

A hydro turbine is a pretty special thing, but not a thing that many people are familiar with or actually know about because it is so downplayed. So far, this is for good reason, as it is not really the most efficient kind of thing so far. But we are working on making the hydro turbine as successful as the coal turbine or the hydroelectrical turbine or even the wind turbine. The power of the hydro turbine, relying on hydrogen is clear. Hydrogen burns fast, but with a lot of power. We need to find a way to control the combustion, to control the burn so that we can make sure that it doesn’t burn up too fast that something will get damaged. Even if there is no danger of anything getting damaged, the other issue would be that it burns so fast that even though it is powerful, the power that is created is not long lasting enough to warrant relying on hydrogen entirely. There is no way that we would be able to rely entirely on hydrogen burning and hydrogen power for the rest of our lives. A good way to look at the energy crisis is to see what would happen if we took only the power of say, the wind, and used only that in the way of making sure that energy is used efficiently. What if we were to use only the power of the wind or only the power of the water, would those be viable energy sources that we could rely on? If not, then we would need to go back to the drawing board.

Unfortunately coal seems to be just as unsustainable as hydrogen. Hydrogen is a bit more sustainable because we actually have ways of synthesizing more and of getting more out of it, but it is not the best way of doing things and this is admitted by most people. So what we need to do is get to a product that we can really truly rely on and the best thing to do would be to switch to wind or water. A hydro turbine will have its place but it will only have it for a while before it just becomes to financially unviable to continue to synthesize hydrogen from things. Unfortunately these are the things we have to worry about in today’s world. We don’t like it but we have to deal with it, and this is just a huge shame.
