a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.

working of hydroelectric power plants?
This question is vague, but here is the way hydro-electric power plants work. Moving water turns a wheel or a turbine. The shaft of the water wheel or turbine is connected to an electric generator. As the generator spins, it produces electric energy. The efficiency of this system depends on the speed of the water past the turbine blades. Efficiency can be increased, and more power produced, if the water speed is increased. A large dam can put the turbine blades several hundred feet below the surface of the lake and increase water speed. A slow moving river can be used to produce electric power, but the main blade of the turbine (water wheel) has to be very large to produce torque. The shaft of the generator would be coupled to the large water-wheel through a set of gears that would increase the speed of the turbine shaft. The electric generator has fixed magnets or electro-magnets installed on the rotor (part that spins). The stator (wire windings in the shell) produce electricity when the magnetic field from the rotor passes near them.
How do you can control water turbine?
Well Really It Would Depend On What Type Of Water Turbine You HAd Yuo Should Contact The Manufacturer.
Why would a turbo not spoil on a 6.6 duramax?
Exhaust leak, damaged compressor/turbine wheel or a fault vgt turbo.
What happen when the input force is applied on the axle instead of the wheel?
The wheel and axle would be multiplying distance.
Would a turbine be a chemical or physical change?
Turbine is not a change, a turbine is a mechanical device.
How do you produce electricity living in mountains?
solar wind hydro are all possibilities if living in the mountains. Maybe solar is not the best but a wind turbine or water turbine would be possible. Depends on where you live and is water available is it windy etc
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine
What would happen if cars would use water instead of gas?
we would run out of water quicker
How much does a small steam turbine cost?
That would depend on the type and size of turbine.
How cellphone vibrate?
My guess would be that a small motor spins a disk which is slightly out of balance. If the wheel is perfectly balanced, the wheel would not vibrate. Instead, it might give off a whirring sound, but not vibrate. Out of balance, the wheel would have momentum in one direction and then another as the wheel spins. It may be interesting to see the actual mechanism.
What do you need to build a water wheel?
If you are planning to build a water wheel pump, the required materials for building it would be:wooden skewerflat pinsscissorssmall bucketwooden plankrulerstringcompassHope this helps.
Is vitamin water for kids?
I would suggest pedialite or ensure instead of vitamin water.
