When you have kids theres never a dull moment Right now our 15ycarold Belinda is into these rock groups Her bedroom walls are plastered with pictures of the strangest young men wearing eye makeup Holy However she recently got fooled when she signed up for the topic Walts Amps in her science class Thinking it had to have something to do with heavy metal she was a little dis mayed to find she had to come up with a paper on how The Hydro works But shes always been a spunky kid and good at science too so after a bit of typical ado lescent ovcrreaclion Oh no I cant stand it This is the worst thing that s ever happened to mc in my whole life she buckled down and told us a couple of weeks ago at dinner that she was really getting into it You know we take electricity for granted but have you ever wondered how its actually made According to Belinda it all starts when falling water or steam spins huge turbine ators which produce electricity at about volts Now a volt is a unit which measures the pressure of an electric current You can think of it as a hand pushing the clcc Belinda said The harder you push the higher the voltage When the electricity is pro duced its boosted from to volts depending on how far it has to travel along the 250000 kilometres of power lines in Ontario Before that 500000 volts gets to your house transformer sta tions step down the power to or volts and then small transformers located on street poles reduce it even fur ther to or 240 volts when it enters your borne Well today she found out she got an A on that project So I handed the paper back to her and asked her if when an engineer Em and I could count on her to look after us in our old age Oh Dad she said But she didn say no This newspaper in conjunc tion with Ontario Hydro is bringing you Phils
