Nowadays, we are encountering severe floods that lead to electrical power shut down. So we have come up to an applied research which is entitled “The Feasibility of Making a Mechanical Generator through the impact of rain water” that can help each one of us. Our materials were examined to measure its ability to provide a generator which did not come from our nature. Preparing and assembling our main machine would take 3 hours to finish so we can assure its effectiveness. To produce the said product, we just need to wait for the actual rain fall and using voltmeter we can conclude the amount of energy output. Since we are dealing with electrical equipment we will be observing cautions and hazards.
Research Materials
Data Gathering Procedure 1. Drill a hole in the center of the cork. Make it large enough so that the bushing fits snugly inside. 2. Glue one end of the bushing inside the hole. 3. Cut slots all around the outside of the cork. Make them the right size to hold the flat end of a plastic spoon, and make the slots parallel to the bushing. 4. Glue the flat end of a plastic spoon into each slot. Make sure all the spoons are facing the same direction. 5. Glue the end of the bushing (the one that's sticking out from the cork) onto the shaft of the motor. 6. Connect the two motor wires to the probes of the voltmeter. Fasten with electrical tape. 7. Set the voltmeter to DC volts, in the 2 to 12 range. 8. Make a handle for your water-mill generator by gluing a stick or piece of wood to the side of the motor. This makes it easier to hold the generator in the stream of water coming out of a garden hose. 9. Using the handle, put the water wheel in the flow of water from the hose. Place the wheel so that only the spoons are in the water flow. 10. Measure the voltage produced by the flowing water.

Statistical Treatment The statistical treatment used in the study is the Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient because the comparison between the commercial generators and the Water-powered generator is derived
Pearson’s product-moment coefficient of correlation is used to measure the variables’ connection with one another, specifically used in linear regression. Several trials were also conducted to test the efficiency of the water-powered generator and to know the other factors that might affect the production of electricity.
