Hydropower

 Hydro plants convert (转变) the force of flowing water into electricity. Water flows through turbines (涡轮), causing the turbine shafts (轴) to turn. The turbine shafts are connected to a generator (发电机) that converts the mechanical (机械的) energy into electrical energy.

    
    (Left)   Waterpower spins the waterwheel of this old mill in Wisconsin. Today's turbines are more complex
                but still depend upon the energy of flowing water.
    (Right) The Niagara Falls power plant, opened in 1890, is one of the largest hydroelectric generators in the
                world.
