Power House
Power House
Power House The power house, containing the turbines and generators, is 183 metres long and 25 metres wide. Water coming through the intake gates flows down a pipe known as a "penstock" until it reaches the turbines. The force of the water spins a giant rotor blade at the end of the turbine. The rotor blades act like a giant propeller and converts the force of the water into mechanical energy. The spinning of the rotor blades turns a shaft that runs through a generator where the mechanical energy is converted into electricity. |
