It works through water, like a dam the water flows through the fish ladder and then I goes through about 2 turbines to turn the water and make electricity

What is a hydro electric generator?
Hydro- means water. A hydro-electric generator uses moving water from a river or dam to turn the generator and produce electricity.
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.
How does hydro turbines 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 is electricity produced by flowing water?
This is called hydroelectric power, or hydro power.
How can you make a small working model of a hydro electric power station?
you need to do you have a small turbine and generator by the axis of the movement of turbine generator to you.
What do you call a machine that uses the power of rushing water to create electricity?
It is called a hydro electric turbine generator.
How does hyrdro electric generate electricity?
hydro electric means electricity is produced by the using the Water(hydro). The water is made to fall forcely on the Turbine wheel it makes the turbine to rotate. Turbine is coupled to the Generator shaft. when the turbine rotates the generator rotates and emf is induced in it and the ourput is taken from it
Where can I find information that compares a gas generator versus an electric generator?
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
What energy resource is used to obtain electricity without producing heat to boil water?
Hydro-electric generator in a dam
Describe briefly the working of a hydro electric power station?
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
Do hydro electric power plants make a lot of noise?
If you stand next to a turbine or generator yes. Overall very little.
How is hydro electric power turned into energy?
Water behind a dam falls through a turbine, causing the turbine to spin, the turbine spins a large electric alternator (AC generator), the generator produces electricity which is delivered to the power grid.
