Hydro Grounds

This invention is for kids to enjoy, but for everyone to benefit from. It is a playground with a super waterslide and a wash station. The waterslide is powered by solar panels, which run the water sprinklers and heat for the slide, so the water is always the perfect temperature. The wash station is powered by capturing the energy kids release as they play and converting it into electricity. You just walk through the wash station, and when you exit, you are clean and dry, so no need to worry about forgetting your swimsuit! Hydropower powers nearby street lights each night by using the water that comes down the water slide to spin a fan, power a generator and produce electricity.

What an amazing drawing, Travis! Your invention has so much detail! The Hydro Grounds looks like an exciting way to produce more energy. I would love to be able to wash my clothes by going down a slide! Keep up the great work, Travis!
