The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator. The devil here is, of course, in all the ...

A hydroelectric generator produces electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of running water. Now you can not only find stationary larger-scale hydroelectric generators but also portable micro ...

Discover how to build a simple DIY water-powered electricity generator at home using accessible materials. This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates the construction of turbine blades, the assembly of ...

A drop in water levels in the southern N.W.T. means hydro generators are producing less electricity for Yellowknife and its surrounding area — and diesel generators are helping to meet the need.

Snare Falls is one of the 4 hydro plants that make up the Snare Hydro System. The hydro generators are operating at a reduced level because of low water levels. (Submitted by Doug Prendergast.) A drop ...
