learn about water electrictey
Water electricitey
water there are allot of different water electricity there are waterwheels, turbines,generator, wave energy and future trends were there are the turbines and rotor blade underwater.
some great pics of water energy
hydroelectric dam
Hydroelectric dams work by allowing water from the dam to flow through magnetic turbines. The water spins the turbines around in circles like a wheel which creates electricity.
generator and turbine
the generator works by the mechanical energy into electrical energy. in a hydroelectric dam the power of the moving water provides mechanical energy by hitting the blades of a turbine and turning them. the blades are connected to a shaft that is attached to a generator. inside the generator the shaft makes the magnets spin in side the wire coils to produce electricity in dams, both turbines and generator is house in a building above the level of t he water were it can be checked and serviced by engineers.
river/dam
dams have become much bigger and are used to provide power for whole communities
