Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source, since the water flowing in rivers comes from rain or snow Worldwide, about 24 percent of the world’s electricity is produced by hydropower plants and more than 1 billion people are supplied with power from these plants Today the

primary function is to control flooding, it also provides about three percent of China’s power There are six main components to a hydroelectric power station Below are first three First, the dam Most hydropower plants have a dam to contain water, creating a large

reservoir of water behind the hydroelectric station Dams are usually placed where water

descends from a height, as the energy that is generated from water depends not only on the volume but also the difference in height between the dam and the water outflow This height difference is called the head For this reason, fundamentally, dams are built as high as possible

to produce the maximum electrical energy However, some early hydroelectric systems used the flow of water over an existing waterfall, with no dam needed, for example, a large amount of

electricity is generated by Niagara Falls

Second, the intake where gates on the dam are opened and water is pull through the penstock – a pipe that leads to the turbine Water pressure is built up as it flows through this pipe

Third, perhaps the most important component, is the turbine The turbine has large blades, which are moved by the flow of the water and are attached to a generator above it through a drive shaft The most common type of turbine for hydro power plants is the Francis Turbine, which looks like a big disc with curved blades

A supply a large number of people with electricity

B produce the amount of electricity depending solely on the amount of water

C must be built next to rivers

The Making of an Internet Sensation

We’ve all received those web links from friends ‘you must watch this – it’s brilliant!’ Read how one such popular Internet video was made

It is a cold November evening and I am perched at the top of a tall stepladder in a village hall

On the floor, 16 golden retrievers stare up at me curiously They are arranged in a square, four

by four I watch through the viewfinder of my video camera This, I think to myself, could make

me famous

I hadn’t thought up the idea myself – it all came about at the behest of my editor We want

you to write about viral videos, he had told me a couple of weeks earlier Go and find out why some videos go viral What makes people share them? It sounded straightforward enough

To better understand what makes people share videos, I turned to Judith Donath of MIT, who studies online social networks She argues that the factors driving people to share stuff over the

establishing social bonds Other researchers have argued that in human societies, language -

especially gossip - has taken on the social function of such grooming Sharing videos via email

or within social networks is just the next step, Donath argues "Sharing online is tantamount to small talk," she says "It's a little gift of information It shows I’m thinking of you'."

Video sharing is also a way of making a statement "In addition, people use videos as a way of showing their position in the 'information-technology ecology'," Donath says "A video reflects

on the person who sends it." In other words, people will pass on a video if they think it's cool - because it makes them look cool too I have friends and colleagues who are cool, so I quizzed them for inspiration Eventually, we hit upon a winning idea I called it Pet Teach Science The aim is to demonstrate tricky concepts ranging from quantum physics to chemical structure with the help of man’s best friend and other furry companions

The next question was what to film for the first episode For what I had in mind, a degree of canine discipline was required, so I contacted a group of dog trainers They agreed to help, and last month we made a film using 16 of their dogs to illustrate the structure of the atom Some of the animals acted as the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, while the rest circulated to mimic the electron cloud

A few days of shamelessly begging all my friends and family to disseminate the video resulted

in fewer than 1,000 hits The big breakthrough came after a tip from Michael Wesch, an anthropologist who studies the behaviour of visitors to YouTube One of the key bits of advice he

gave me was to send the video to a so-called "sneezer"- a media outlet or blogger that can quickly

disseminate your video to a large number of people "Almost every viral has a catalyst moment

at which it has a big leap of, say, 100,000 viewers at once," he says For the massive videos, that sneeze can be anything from a TV appearance to a tweet by a popular Twitterer This catapults the video onto YouTube's daily "most popular" lists, and the chain reaction begins Even if only

1 in 10 people continue to share the video, you have succeeded

It happened for me when I sent a link to the free London paper Metro The paper gave Pets Teach Science an enthusiastic write-up, and the video's views surged by about 8,000 within a few hours It soon appeared on YouTube's "pets and animals" page In the following days, it was referred to in a couple of influential blogs and that almost doubled my hits overnight to more than 50,000 The growth continues, proving that with a little cunning, and some cute pets, anyone can make a video go viral I can reveal that Charlie's record remains intact Still, despite my worst fears, my video turned out to be a surprising success Next up on the channel is a sleepy fat cat which will demonstrate Einstein's general theory of relativity with a trampoline Keep watching!
