The potential energy of the collected water is turned into kinetic energy as the water is released downstream.
As the water is released, it hits a turbine, forcing it to spin.
The spinning turbine turns some of the kinetic energy of the water into electric energy, which can be transported away in cables for us humans to use.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of huge pipes that send water to hydro electric power stations?
Penstocks.
Where are turbines most found?
Power stations, hydro electric schemes, aircraft engines, wind turbines.
What has the author David B Rushmore written?
David B. Rushmore has written: 'Hydro-electric power stations'
Examples of economic resources?
examples are refineries,iron ores,hydro electric power stations and factories .......by...matilda taribo
IS hydro electric power used in dams?
Dams can be used to produce hydro electric power
Is hydro power off the coast or on the land?
Yes. Hydro power stations are in the middle of countries
What is a hydro - electric power station?
A hydro-electric power station is a facility that generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which then produce electrical power. This renewable energy source harnesses the gravitational force of water to create electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric power stations can vary in size from small-scale installations to large dams and reservoirs.
How is hydro power obtained?
1.Water is collected at a certain height in huge reservoirs. 2.This water,which has lot of potential energy 3.The energy of falling water is used for generating electricity in hydro-electric power stations 4.In hydro-electric power plants turbines are used to convert the energy of falling water into mechanical energy 5.Hydro-electric power plants have least operating cost 6.They are free from environmental problem
What is the meaning of hydro energy power plant?
hydro electric power plant
Where the hydro power stations in Pakistan located?
karachi
What electric power is made from moving water?
Hydro Electric Power
Is there an hydroelectric power plant in Ireland?
the following web site, www.hydroni.co.UK will give you information on hydro in NI and has a case study that may be of interestalso try Irish hydropower www.Irishhydro.com/ there is a list of all hydro electric stations and power generated
