<br/><br/> This capstone project involves designing, fabricating, and evaluating  the performance of a pico hydro power wheel for domestic use in rural  areas like Barangay Cacafean, Marcos, Ilocos Norte. Utilizing renewable  sources such as water from irrigation canals is particularly beneficial,  especially considering the high demand for electricity and occasional  breakdowns in generation companies. This study aims to contribute to  reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Since there hasn't been  much research on pico hydro power wheels for domestic use, the  researchers aim to close this research gap. This study will be beneficial to  the community of Cacafean Marcos, providing them with clean and reliable  electricity generation. The study focuses on the design, fabrication, and  evaluation of the performance and speed of the generator, as well as its  output power. The researchers used six 12 VDC bulbs and a 5-watt DC fan  as loads for the generator, along with a voltmeter, ammeter, and  tachometer. The generator's optimal load is 10 ohms, where it achieves  peak performance of 4.63 volts, 0.403 amperes, and 1.8659 watts. Lastly,  they achieved a maximum output of 832 RPM with 10.46 volts, 1.206  amperes, and 12.615 watts.
