Hydropower is a renewable energy source that generates power with a dam or diversion structure, if there’s a need to alter the natural flow of a body of water. As all streams and rivers flow downhill, this movement of water can be used to generate electricity. The downward trajectory…

Households with regular and system boilers, are reliant on hot water cylinders to supply a circulation of heated water. A hot water cylinder stores the water, until it’s required at the taps or shower. Quite often, the hot water tank is found in the airing cupboard. However, heating systems that operate…
