How is wind and flowing water turned into electricity?
The movement of the wind/water is used to turn a propeller - this in turn drives an electric generator.
What are some examples of water energy?
Hydroelectric energy comes from the movement of water (the prefix "hydro-" means water.) Any transfer of energy from water movement to anything electrical or mechanical is a form of hydroelectric energy. The best examples are dams. A dam blocks moving water and forces it through a confined space, where it can do mechanical work or be converted to electrical work. Another example could be a mill wheel being used to grind corn. Yet another could be an old-fashioned paddle-wheel boat (although that's chemical energy from the burning of coal being turned into mechanical energy turning the wheel that results in the boat's forward motion.) Technically those last two examples are hydromechanical rather than hydroelectric, but you get the picture.
How a paddle wheel works?
On a boat, a paddle wheel is turned by pistons. The pistons are powered with a steam engine. If the paddle wheel is meant to generate energy, the wheel turns as water flows over it, then the wheel turns other mechanical parts to do functions like grind corn, or power machines.
How does 'hydro' work?
A jet of water is diercted at a paddle wheel, making it spin. The spin is then transferred to an electric generator and turned into electric energy.

What causes difference in movement?
The steering wheel was turned.
What cause the difference in the movement?
The steering wheel was turned.
What were sawmills like?
Sawmills were operated by water power. A huge water wheel is what gave it the power. This wheel turned a system of pulleys, which turned gears, which turned the circular saws. People also had to help to put the trees in the right position.

What is the purpose of the steering gear?
To convert the rotational movement of the steering wheel, into linear movement at the wheel.
How is a steering wheel a wheel and axle?
When the wheel is turned, so is the axle and vice versa.
What would cause a wheel to squeak when turned?
bad wheel bearing.
How does a water whell work?
Water flows into chambers in the water wheel... that weight causes the wheel to turn, and the wheel is connected to whatever mechanical device it operates...or, for the ones where water doesn't flow over the top of it, the current of the water presses against the paddles to create movement... it's pretty much the exact same way a hydraulic motor works.

Why are the parking lights staying on after your 1991 Subaru Loyale is turned off?
