Want this question answered?
Water can turn a wheel, which turns an axle connected to an electrical generator which generates electricity by moving magnets so that their magnetic fields pass through wires.
To make electricity we have to turn a coil of wire inside a magnet. Moving water is one way to push the coil.
true
Water energy formed when a lake called reservoir is connected to a dam.It flow down.The water is so powerful that can moves the blades of a turbine.The turbine is connected to a generator and energy appear
Wind blows on a windmill or wind turbine and makes it rotate. This can be looked at the kinetic energy in the moving air being converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes. The rotating turbine turns a shaft that turns (through gears) a electrical generator. The generator produces electricity. This can be seen as the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes transferred to the kinetic energy of the generator, which converts it to electrical power. The electrical power is then sent into the electric grid.
Moving water (dams, rivers, tides) and turbines (like an electric motor in reverse) that will produce electricity when the moving water spins them round.
Hydro- means water. A hydro-electric generator uses moving water from a river or dam to turn the generator and produce electricity.
The water that is trapped by the dam is directed through tunnels that have water turbines (they look just like the turbine jet engines you see on planes) and the water then flows through the turbines turning them and generating electricity. You therefore convert the energy of the water moving through the turbines which moves the generator that makes electricity.
Turbines
Water can turn a wheel, which turns an axle connected to an electrical generator which generates electricity by moving magnets so that their magnetic fields pass through wires.
a waterwheel, connected to a generator
when water fiows from water resource then potential energy converts into kinetic energy. due to this water rotates to the turbines and conversion of kinetic energy into mechanical takes place . the shaft of turbine is connected to generator and in turbine due to rotation magnetic flux takesplace and electricity is produced.
The hoover dam works by spouting water out of penstocks and into a man-made river, which then enters the dam and the moving water turns the turbines of the generator, which produces the energy we need to power things.
I think it will produce electricity.
Tidal energy is captured by using turbines. When the tide comes in or out the moving water spins turbines that generate energy or electricity.
To make electricity we have to turn a coil of wire inside a magnet. Moving water is one way to push the coil.
hydropower is made by water from water dams an proccessed by i think machines. some one please write a logical answer because i need to know this for a science project!!! ok ok. hydropower is made by dams moving water. they have a spining thing, which is called turbines, at the bottom of the dam that spins when water moves past it. that creates power or electricity, i think. so yea. the faster the turbines spin the more power it produces. i hope that helps
