Well, how was hydroelectricity formed. First of all people built dams in order to make a reservoir ( man made lake). All the water from the reservoir would then go down the penstock ( a water tube). The penstock would then lead into the turbine ( fan with spinning blades ) . Water would then strike the blade and cause the blade to rotate. The rotating motion would then cause electricity. The generator would guide the turbine through the way. The electricity would then get sent through the power lines.

Is the source of hydroelectric power considered fossil fuel?

Hydroelectric is ultimately solar power. The water that powers the dams is brought in from the ocean by solar evaporation that returns to the earth in the form of rain or snow. Aside from the costs (not just money but also environmental) of building dams, hydroelectric power is free for the taking.


What form of energy goes into a hydroelectric energy station what form comes out?

The easiest way to answer this is to actually look at the word "hydroelectric." Break it down, kind of like a math problem. "Hydro" means water, and "electric" is self-explanatory. Thus, hyrdoelectric energy uses water to create electricity.


Where does hydro energy come form?

Hydroelectric energy comes from the potential energy of water stored in dams or flowing in rivers. This energy is converted into electricity through turbines connected to generators in hydroelectric power stations.
