Hydro Energy (Dams)What is a dam and how does it work
Dams turn water into electricity. Here is how it works. It starts with the Reservoir. The Reservoir is the part where the river comes through the dam. Then it goes through the Pen stock. Which puts the water onto a turbine. The moving water spins the turbine. That also spins the generator that has magnets and copper coils. Then the magnets and copper wires create electrons. The electrons go through the transformers(makes more or less electrons). Finally, to your house.
