one hundred and seventy thousand cubic meters of water flow passed here every
man and almost sixty kilometers per hour
that's enough water to fill about a hundred thousand olympic swimming pools
everyday
standing here you can actually feel the power of the water
harnessing that power is what hydroelectric stations have been
designed to do through over a hundred years in ontario
in essence their factories and briefed the energy of falling water into the
flow of electrons or what is commonly called electricity the electricity to
power surprise most hydroelectric stations use either water diverted
around the factual problem river such as a waterfall or rapids
board and is built across the river to raise the water level and provide the
drop needed
creative writing
water at the higher level
this collected in the fourth day
it floats through the plain intake into a fight
called up and stuff
which carries it down to a turbine water wheel at the wall were water level
water pressure increases as it flows down the and stuff
it is this pressure and flow that drives the turbine that it's connected to the
generator
inside the generator is the rotor that has spawned by the turbine
watch electro magnets are attached to the rotor located within the while some
calmer wire called the stator
mister jerry spence the magnets mcfarland rhymes integrated and while
some mistake during
this produces electricity
yet to be stepped up ***
through the station transformers and sent across transmission lines
the falling water having served its purpose
accepted generating station to the tail right
word rejoins the mainstream of the river to continue the cycle of creating clean
renewable energy for ontario
