•today hydraulic energy is mainly used to produce electricity in hydroelectric power stations, by making use of the energy of waterfalls. Falling water (a significant change in potential energy) contains energy in a much more concentrated state than the water flowing in a river (kinetic energy).

∙ 12y agoA flow of water passes over the fins of a device connected to great massive generators within the hydro dam. The fins are turned and through multiple gears the rotor is revolved within the stator extremely fast. This creates an electrical field which is sent through the wires and out to the consumer.

hydropower or hydroelectricity is the power of water generated by water. we use this electricity everywhere it powers 24% of the worlds electricity.
How do you get hydro electricity?
we can get hydro electricity from the water which is re useable all the time
What does hydro-electricity do?
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.
What is a hydro-electracity?
hydro-electricity is water power of energy
How is hydro electricity connected to renewable energy?
Provided water was available in dams, hydro electricity can be produced indefinitely.
How many African countries rely on the Nile for hydro-electricity?

Is hydro power related to photo voltaic cells?
No, hydro power is electricity from water. Photo voltaic is electricity from sunlight.
What energy can you get in dams?
hydro electricity
How does hydro electricity flow?
Hydro electricity is electricity generated by moving water, usually from dams nowadays. Electrical power is all the same. It flows through wires.
What are the three resources of electricity in Pakistan?
Major source of electricity in Pakistan is hydro. Hydro electricity is generated by 5 major dams of the country. Other means of electricity generation include thermal and atomic.
Facts about hydro electricity?
The first ever hydroelectric power plant started producing electricity in 1882.
How reliable is hydro electricity?
As long as the rain keeps falling in the catchment area, hydro electricity is very reliable. It will run day and night if required, as the water is stored up behind the dam. If the rainfall is unreliable, then hydro electricity is unreliable too.
Does Australia use hydro electricity?
yes.
