What type of energy does the water have when it is in the reservior?
In a high reservoir waiting to go through a hydroelectric generator the water's main energy is potential energy because that is converted to kinetic energy before the water meets the turbine blades.
How is energy stored?
Electrical energy can be stored in a lead acid battery, it can also be stored by pumping water up to a high reservoir, from which it can be released later to produce electricity. Mechanical energy can be stored in a large flywheel. Energy can be stored in elastic material. Thermal energy can be stored in an insulated block of high heat capacity material. Potential gravitational energy can be stored in a reservoir or lake, to be used later for hydro power. Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy, and uranium is a store of nuclear energy. some examples are a ball,candybar,rubber band,and gasoline
IS HYDRO ENERGY POTENTIAL OR KINETIC?
Both. Rainwater is gathered in a reservoir and held in by a dam. At that stage it has potential energy because it is high up. That energy came from the Sun that evaporated the water from the ocean. The water is then run down a chute at high speed. At that stage it has kinetic energy which is used to drive a turbine that rotates an electric generator to produce electrical energy.
What does a sound wave with high amplitude have?
if high amplitude was found in reservoir after injected water what that mean?
How is energy released in the reactor made to drive a turbine?
The energy released in a nuclear reactor is in the form of heat. This heat is used to boil water and produce high pressure steam which then drives the turbine.
How is the hydro energy that was collected turned into electrical energy?
The hydro energy is stored in a high reservoir before it is run down a chute to gather speed and kinetic energy, and then it hits the water turbine blades to rotate the shaft that drives the generator.

How do tunnels in dams produce electricity?
The tunnels in the dam (what you see on the "low side" of the dam) dont produce electricity. These are the 'outflow' channels for water that is exiting a turbine (which is what generates the electricity). The weight of water behind the dam forces it down a tunnel to a turbine where the water pressure spins the turbine, which generates electricity. The water, once it passes through the generator, goes out a tunnel to a river below the dam. This is typically the water you see coming out from under a "hydro-electric" dam. There are also spillways to let excess water out from the reservoir (high side) behind the dam if the water gets too high.
How does water from Delaware Reservoir get to New York?
by flying high

What is HP and LP turbine expansion?
HP Turbine is High Performance Turbine LP Turbine is Low Performance Turbine

How is electricity produced from burning coal or oil?
At start coal is used to burn. Then by using the heat of combustion of burning coal, stored water is heated and get converted into steam at high temperature and pressure which is further feed to turbine and on the account of rotating turbine, the generator connected to it by shaft produce electricity as per law of electromagnetic induction.
How do you get hydroelectricity?
Hydroelectricity is produced by rushing water through a turbine. The turbine spins at high speed, thus spinning the alternator to which it is connected, to create an electromotive force that is the electricity.
What is the differences between pelton turbine and kaplan turbine?
pelton turbines are suited to high head,low flow application but kaplan turbine are used for low head and a large amount of discharge needed. kaplan turbines are expensive to design,manufacture and install as compared to pelton turbine but operate for decades.

When was Reservoir High School created?
Reservoir High School was created in 2002.
