Honda Automotive Plant Generates Hydroelectric Power with
Cooling Tower Water As explained in the video “Every Drop
Counts,” a retired plant engineer's sketch intrigues a team of
associates who seek to generate their own energy with a simple
but ingenious device. Using spare parts and materials from the
plant, the team builds a small-scale hydropower generation
system at Honda's manufacturing plant in Marysville, Ohio. The
waterwheel-like gadget captures energy from water as it falls
from a cooling tower, cutting the plant's CO2 emissions by
77,000 pounds per year. Watch the three-minute video, “Every
Drop Counts.”
