D.C. Generators #1

Defn:
An electrical generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
This conversion is based on the production of dynamically induced emf whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux –Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
Essential Parts of an Electrical Generator
----Magnetic Field
----Conductor/Conductors which move so as to cut the flux

Masinga Dam Scare - Dam Failure Possibilities

In the Tana Delta and Garissa, Masinga dam is currently at 1053.6m against a Full Supply Level (FSL) of 1056.5m, according to KRCS. This means that Masinga is only 2.9m to reaching the FSL. The EOC, KenGen and the UoN School of Mathematics will determine the overspill point or neighborhood. Once this is determined and if the rains persist as projected by the KMD, risk reduction measures ahead of the imminent floods are required.
