hydroelectric generator
Water-powered turbine station
A hydroelectric generator is a machine that converts the energy of flowing or falling water into electricity.
Water spins a turbine connected to the generator, which produces electrical current.
Hydroelectric generators range from massive installations at dams to small units in streams: The hydroelectric generator at the dam powers the entire valley.
