What does a dam produce?
Hydroelectric power
Can you produce power electricity- www.powerfromgravity.com from gravitational not a dam force?
Can we produce power (electricity - www.powerfromgravity.com) from gravitaitonal (not from dam) force by using buoyancy from renewable source of energy?
Do the glen canyon dam produce hydrolelctric power?
yes
How many kilowatts a hour does a dam produce?
Most power plants produce several Megawatts of power. A Megawatt is one million watts.
What type of energy use at home?
Hydroelectric power (from a dam), nuclear energy, solar power and wind power generate electricity. Natural gas is used for heating. Solar (the sun) can produce heat and electricity.
What uses Hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
Why dams are constructed near rivers?
Because - the 'usual' function of a dam is to turn the movement of water into electrical energy. If there's no water flowing through the dam - the dam cannot produce power.
A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?
harnessing water flow to drive turbines and electric generators
How does hydro power produce in dams?
Hydroelectricity is produced by water flower through water turbines in the dam creating electricty. Thus hydro-power.
What type of dam is the aswan dam?
The Aswan dam is an embankment dam.
The three gorges dam will create power from?
All dams (or most of them) produce electricity from water - specifically hydropower. Water goes through the dam and spins a few dozen turbines, producing electricity. Very similar to wind power.
What type of energy does Hoover Dam produce?
Yes it does, it is the largest hydroelectricity producer in the U.S. The hoover dam does produce Hydroelectricty but is is only the 5th largest producer. Grand Coulee Dam is #1 at 6809 MW followed by Chief Joseph Dam 6220MW, John Day Dam 2160 (all on the Columbia river) and Niagria Falls 2515 MW(U.S. side). Hoover Dam produces 2080MW.
