I seek Knowledge. I know... It's found in all the books and institutions across the globe. But I wish directness and expediancy. I'm looking for any and all mathematical equations, Principle properties, Physics of... falling water. Specifically, Hoover Dam, the science of..., What kind of force is generated by the columns of water? What forces are needed to turn the turbines? Dynamics of the turbines,ie. blade pitch to force ratios. Anything else you can think of.
If the actual mathematics aren't available, than any information on books that I might explore, that would be helpful too. I'm also thinking of going to the local college and posting an ad for students/teachers who would be willing to lend some of there time, but as I have ner'ly laid a foot on a campus, a little direction on where I might start would be nice.
Thanx to all for your time.
