Electric power, dissipated as energy is produced by spinning generators. The generators are in turn driven by a rotating force, produced by a number of means. Water under pressure driven through a hypodermic needle hole hits the vanes in a turbine and causes it to spin. the spinning turbine is attached to the generator that depends on that spin to generate electricity. This is how water turns into electric energy.
