How would hydroelectric energy used to power homes?
Electricity produced from hydroelectric installations is no different to that from other generating plants, such as coal / gas / nuclear. The main difference is that no fuel is burned at hydroelectric plants, the (potential) energy supply is the head of water (the lake) which is allowed to fill with water from its rivers, then this weight of water is released at low level creating forced water movement, this momentum is translated to the shaft of a water turbine (a fan basically), which in turn is connected to a standard electricity generator.
What does the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River produces?
Water from the dam makes turbine spin, these turbines spin generators that generate the electricity. The water is pulled down by gravity. The reason to build a dam is to have a large and constant supply of water for this process. This is called Hydroelectric power. Hydro means water.
What is Runaway Speed of hydraulic Turbine and how it is calculated?
The runaway speed of a water turbine is its speed at full flow, and no shaft load. The turbine will be designed to survive the mechanical forces of this speed. The manufacturer will supply the runaway speed rating.
What are the steps in making power supply?
An external form of energy to turn a metal turbine around a magnet is the most common and easiest way to generate electricity. Examples : burning coal to turn the turbine or with windmills to turn the turbine.
Where can one find turbine parts?
There are several websites that supply turbine parts. One of these websites is utpparts.com. You can get used turbine parts here http://lcec.info/equipment/Used_Surplus_Turbine_Parts. You can also get turbine parts here http://www.etspower.com/. You may have to search other sites if there is a specific part that you need.
Which company created the first Hydroelectric power plant in India?

What nation shares the world's largest hydroelectric dam with Brazil?
The answer is Paraguay. The dam you are talking about is the Itaipú Dam, which is the world's largest hydroelectric power plant. However, the Itaipú Dam provides most of its energy supply to Brazil.
What inland nation has a hydroelectric dam?
Canada epsecially my province, we can almost supply all of north America with power. Manitoba is the province
How is Hydropower stored once it is recovered?
Hydro power is basically running water made to turn a turbine. To make sure there's a steady supply of water for the turbine, huge dams are built to trap the water.
What equipment is needed for hydroelectric energy?
The two machines that are used for hydroelectricity are the tunnel boring machine and the turbines. The tunnel boring machine is used to excavate tunnels through a variety of soil and rock strata.
