The capstone project proposes a scaled model of a flood control system as an alternative to current storm drain systems. The system uses float sensors and electric pumps to divert floodwater from catch basins to a steam-powered flash turbine generator. This generates electricity from the floodwater and prevents backups in the drain system. A smaller version for residential use is also proposed, using a drain system around a property to power pumps and make the system self-sufficient during storms. A block diagram outlines the main components, including float sensors, pumps, a steam engine, generator, and control console to monitor voltage production.
