HYDRO GENERATOR
Visitors hand pump water to fill an overhead water tank and watch the water fall down over a Pelton water wheel. The Pelton wheel is connected to a generator that produces electrical energy. The hydro Generator is part of a multimedia display of art, light and sound. Once visitors produce enough power, a coloured chaser light activates and which connects power to its associated family member, in this case Hydro Mother. Hydro Mother then rotates her upper body causing her arms to go up and down over her wavy skirt and begins to play an original musical composition.Download a Printable Version (PDF)

SOLAR GENERATOR
To generate solar electrical power, visitors tilt a large solar panel into the sun, represented by a bright overhead spotlight. The solar generator is connected to a multimedia display of art, light and sound. Once visitors produce enough power, a coloured chaser light connects this power to its family member, in this case Solar Father. Once activated the Solar Father's hands begin to strum his body harp as he bounces up and down and he begins to play an original musical composition.Download a Printable Version (PDF)
