Principle

Model of a hydroelectric power station: The Pelton wheel is connected to a water hose and driven by a jet of water. The wheel is connected to a generator by a drive belt and an incandescent lamp is connected to the generator.

In the experiment, observers can note that the output of the generator (i.e. how bright the lamp is lit) is higher when the flow rate of the jet of water striking the buckets of the turbine is greater.

For quantitative measurements, the work and power meter (13715-93) can be inserted between the generator and the lamp.
