In big dams (like hoover or grand coulee), when the water flows through, it spins these huge magnets that creates static electricity in massive amounts that is then sent to a sub station to be processed from there.

Do dams make electricity?

What plants used to make electricity from dams?
Power plants. Not a plant like a tree or a shrub- it is an industrial structure that uses the weight of falling water to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators.
What is the energy source that uses rushing water from dams to make electricity?
water mill
How do people get electricity from water?
In many countries the rivers have dams that power huge turbines that in turn rotate massive generators that make electricity..
Where is the money for Hydro Electricity coming from?
Hydroelectricity comes from dams, the water coming from the river (which the dam is built on) rushes into a generator which the rushing water powers the generator and creates electricity. Then the electricity is sent into wires apart of the generator system and the electricity is sent all over. question: Where is money for hydro electricity coming from: Well, it doesn't make absolute sense but that's why you have bills for hydro electricity because the electricity that you have partly comes from dams. So the money to power dams is coming from you!
Why do you need to build dams?
Dams are built for a number of reasons, two being:To control the flow of water so as to eliminate floodingTo make electricity using hydroelectric power
Why are beavers herbivores?
they eat grass and use wood from trees to make their dams and their dams are very important to them
How do the three types of power plants make electricity?
Nuclear, coal-fired, and hydroelectric power plants provide electricity.
How has technology afeccted fish?
Dams have been build blocking fish like salmon from climbing upstream to reproduce. The Dams are built to generate electricity with their generators and the make towns inhabitable though.
