What is electricity produced by flowing water?
This is called hydroelectric power, or hydro power.
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.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
How is the hydro energy that was collected turned into electrical energy?
The hydro energy is stored in a high reservoir before it is run down a chute to gather speed and kinetic energy, and then it hits the water turbine blades to rotate the shaft that drives the generator.
What type of energy is converted by hydro power plant of falling water into electricity?
Firstly kinetic energy into mechanical energy by turbine,then mechanical energy to electrical energy by generator.
What energy resource is used to obtain electricity without producing heat to boil water?
Hydro-electric generator in a dam
What de convice converts energy of motion into electrical energy?
any common electrical generator ... windmill, hydro, bicycle wheel, steam turbine, etc.
How is hydro power converted into electricity?
A turbine spins water creating kinetic (movement) energy. This kinetic energy is changed into electricity through a generator connected to it.
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.
3 prime energy sources that are generally used that drive an electromagnetic generator?
Wind, Hydro, Gas/Coal powered power station
What energy changes takes place at the hydro electric power station?
Gravitational potential energy in the water is converted into mechanical energy by turning turbine "blades", the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) is converted to electrical energy by the electric generator.
How is hydro power energy gathered?
The energy we can get from the movement of water or from the force of water flow is called hydropower. It produces electricity as it flows towards a turbine, spinning the turbine and activating the generator.
