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.

∙ 15y agoTo generate hydroelectric power you need:
* A supply of water higher than some other place the water could be. * A pipe to take the water from the high place to the low * A turbine (essentially a paddle wheel) stuck in the flow that the water can turn * A generator turned by the axle of the turbine * An electrical system to carry the power the generator makes to the place you want to use it A system with these components can be sized from a small one house unit to the one installed at Niagara Falls or larger.
