According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Household electric generators can provide peace of mind during power outages, ensuring that essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, heating, and medical devices remain operational. It's important to choose the right generator for your needs, install it correctly, and maintain it regularly to ensure its reliability and safety. Household generators come in various types, including portable generators and standby generators. Portable generators are smaller, can be moved around, and are typically fueled by gasoline or propane. Standby generators are larger, permanently installed outside the home, and are powered by natural gas, propane, or diesel. So, as an initiative of social responsibility, we have designed a generator with the provision of utilizing water as a fueling power source. A household hydro-generator, often referred to as a micro-hydro system, is a smaller-scale version of a hydroelectric generator designed to produce electricity for residential use. These systems typically harness the energy of flowing water from a stream or river on the homeowner's property. In our design, we have considered the usage of an alternate source as a powering unit by pouring the water through the inlet and harnessing the process of generating electricity. Household hydro generators can be an environmentally friendly and reliable source of electricity, particularly in areas with access to flowing water."
