What is the highest dam east of the Rocky Mountains?
Fontana Dam
How much energy kwh does Hoover dam produce each year?
4,000GWh that's 4,000,000,000kWh
Can you produce power electricity- www.powerfromgravity.com from gravitational not a dam force?
Can we produce power (electricity - www.powerfromgravity.com) from gravitaitonal (not from dam) force by using buoyancy from renewable source of energy?
How is the aswan dam and the three gorges dam the same?
hardness natural forces to produce energy (i just did this one in Castlelearning)
How is mitochondria like a hydraulic dam?
Mitochondria are like a hydraulic dam because both store and produce energy. Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy molecules called ATP, which is essential for cell function. Similarly, a hydraulic dam converts the potential energy of water into kinetic energy, which is used to generate electricity.
What type of energy does Hoover Dam produce?
Yes it does, it is the largest hydroelectricity producer in the U.S. The hoover dam does produce Hydroelectricty but is is only the 5th largest producer. Grand Coulee Dam is #1 at 6809 MW followed by Chief Joseph Dam 6220MW, John Day Dam 2160 (all on the Columbia river) and Niagria Falls 2515 MW(U.S. side). Hoover Dam produces 2080MW.
How much electricity does Hoover Dam produce today?
6000000000 volts
How much electricity does the Aswan Dam produce for Egypt?
It produces 12000kilo
How much money does it save to make a hydroelectric dam?
That would depend on the dam - specifically, the amount of water that flows through, and the difference in height that can be obtained. Potential energy is calculated as: PE = mgh; in SI units: potential energy (in Joule) is equal to the mass (in kg) times the gravitation (9.8 m/sec square) times the height (in meters); you can use this to calculate energy. If you are interested in power, assume that a certain amount of water flows through every second - the result will be Joule / second, that is, Watts.
Why dams are constructed near rivers?
Because - the 'usual' function of a dam is to turn the movement of water into electrical energy. If there's no water flowing through the dam - the dam cannot produce power.
How much does it cost to make a hydroelectric dam?
2 to 4 years, maybe even longer. And it automatically starts to produce energy rather than coal fired energy which would take longer.
How many wind turbines would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as the average dam?
12
