What is a hydro electric power dam?
A dam is a wall that holds back water on one side. Such a dam can be made to release this water though a pipe into which a propeller is fitted. As the water flows down the pipe, this spins the propeller, which in turn spins a dynamo that generates electricity. As the source of electricity is water power, the term used is "hydro electric power" - "hydro" refers to water.
Can water produce electricity?
yes in a hydro dam
Does the Hoover Dam use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
What is the water used for that is stored behind the glen canyon dam?
Supplies drinking water and hydro electrical power to Utah and Arizona
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.
Can you take an already existing hydro dam and expand it?
Yes you can, however, the logic is not to expand an existing hydro dam (which is not very practical) but to build additional dam or dams on the same water streamline.
How much does a hydro electric dam cost?
15 billion dollars
How does hydro power produce in dams?
Hydroelectricity is produced by water flower through water turbines in the dam creating electricty. Thus hydro-power.
What does hydro electricty mean?
Hydroelectricity is generated by huge amount of water pouring through electric turbines in a water dam. Great Coulee Dam, Hoover Dam, and Lower Granite Dam are some that I can think of.
What type of energy is hydroelpower?
Hydro means fluid power and in this case that fluid is flowing water, usually a dam. el is electric So, hydro electric power or hydroelpower is electricity generated using flowing water from a dam.
Does the US use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
What is the purpose of a hydro electric dam?
to generate electricity by utilizing energy of falling water
