Water Power for the Farm and Country Home by David R. Cooper
"Water Power for the Farm and Country Home" by David R. Cooper is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the development and utilization of small water power systems on farms and rural homes, emphasizing the potential for harnessing nearby streams and brooks that are often overlooked. Cooper's objective is to illustrate how these resources can provide efficient, economical energy solutions for practical agricultural tasks. Inthis book, Cooper meticulously details the processes of harnessing water power, including the construction of dams, waterwheels, and electric generators. He provides case studies of various farms that successfully implemented their own water power systems, showcasing their ability to replace manual labor with electrical energy for tasks such as milking, grinding feed, and lighting buildings. The author explains the technical aspects of producing electricity through hydroelectric systems while outlining the benefits of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the reduction of reliance on traditional fuel sources. Through his comprehensive exploration, Cooper advocates for rural residents to recognize and develop these abundant, renewable energy resources. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
